5:30AM and all is not well.

I woke up at 5:30 this morning to go on a hike. Something didn’t feel right. I decided to give myself another hour of sleep and something still didn’t feel quite right. I did the same thing twice more. By 8:30 I knew I was coming down with something. I called my hiking date and cancelled. Big bummer!

Part of me wonders if I got sick because I wanted to go for a hike instead of help someone move. Another part of me wonders if I got sick because I purchased yarn last night. I can’t tell you how many skeins I bought. It was three bags full. I bought yarn for the monkey I am making for my brother’s birthday in September, a baby blanket that I want to make for my future baby (or someone else’s baby if I don’t get married), and finish a hobo bag I am making for my sister’s birthday in September.

I finished crocheting the bag this afternoon. I still need to felt it. This is my first felting project. I hope it goes well. I started a dish towel for my future sister-in-law. There will be a shower sometime in the next few months. I started the monkey. I am half way through with the head. I don’t think I will finish the head today. I am ready to conk out. Being sick is the pits.

This week I finished the hobo bag and a hot pad. I started a monkey and dish cloth. My sweater is still in progress. I did do a little work on it this week. Maybe I’ll spend some time on it tomorrow. I would be done with the beret for my mother except I made an error on the last row and that darn yarn is unforgiving and I will have to scrap it all. On the upside this will force me to write down the pattern.

I must note that my hiking date was wonderful. He called me atleast 3 times to check on me and see if he could do anything. He was super sweet and brought me won ton soup for tonight, chicken noodle soup for tomorrow and some otc items to ease the symptoms. What a man!
