It's been awhile...

Unforatunately my knitting has been on hiatus for a long while now. I've gotten over my funk about my friend (for the most part), but I haven't been able to pick up the needles.

And with two co-workers with babies due in August... I can't get motivated and I just don't know why...

Since my last post the earth has turned upside down in this house; we've had visitors nearly every weekend, be it in-laws or friends, there seems to always be someone here and no free time.

Chris FINALLY got a day-job... ok that sounds wrong. He DID work 40+ hour weeks, but they were from 3:30pm to 11:30pm... My day was 8 to 5, therefore we saw eachother for a few minutes a day during the week. He got a great job offer doing the same thing only on the day shift and for more money, so we carpool to and from work and actually get to see eachother during the day. It's weird.. In the 8 years we've been together, he's always worked swing shift so having him around in the evening is fun. I get to make dinner every day (I know you all are saying "and what's the upside to that???" - I like to cook sillies!!) I get to watch tv with him and we get more done during the week instead of having to wait until the weekend. It's just sooo nice :)

And this month I turned 31. Unfortunately it was not a happy birthday for me. We had plans to go to Disneyland (they were offering free admission to So. Cal. residents on their birthday) but my poor little Clyde got very very ill that weekend. All the "Fun" money we had saved ended up going toward her vet bill and eventually toward her surgery.

She's had a history of UTI's (urinary tract infections) but it all culminated when they did an ultrasound and found stones in her bladder. The only way to get rid of them was surgery (if she didn't manage to pass them- which was unlikely).

She's doing much better now, still has to wear her little cone so she doesn't lick her tummy where they did the surgery. (The staples come out later this week). And I'm struggling to give her the medicine she needs to heal as well.

So it's been an adventure the last few months. I'll try not to stay away too long (for all 3 of you that actually read this).

I just hope I can get out of this knitting funk. I have so much that I want to do, I stare at my yarn daily but I just don't actually pick it up and work with it!!! How frustrating is that?!
