Ode to Being Sick

I was attacked by a bug.
A cold? sure
The flu? sure
Allegies? yeah, whatever.
For a whole week!
Yuck!
I'm done.
I don't want to be sick anymore.

This being said, I haven't done much of anything around here for a week. Cleaning -- on hold. Knitting -- on hold. Spring skirts to sew -- on hold. Anything else -- on hold.

Hope you all are better than I! Happy Spring!

Got the Crud...

Everybody in my family has gotten this crappy, cruddy sickness that's floating around. Out here in the desert it's warm (I know don't rub it in), but it's too warm too soon. Anyway, I thought I escaped the crud, but nooooooo, I got it. Yuck.
Anyway, in the midst of all this stuff (to put it nicely) I've been trying to work and finish the basic socks and am working on the foot of the second one. When I get them done, I'll post picts. If you were reading earlier, they were supposed to be for me, but somehow gauge was messy and they ended up for the small one. But she's glad, they're her fav color -- purple. I also realized I messed up the heel so the heels will be different. Because the yarn was Encore worsted (from my stash), I'm not too upset and they were a good practice before I jump into the great, big world of socks (and pricey yarn).
I've got my eye on some good starter patterns, so once I get the purple ones done, then I'll start some more. Socks seem like a good warm weather project. As they don't sit on my lap with a lot of weight.
Anyway, hope to be better ASAP. (I don't like being sick.)
