        14/52 (gets me to the weekend of April 14th) I am really catching up, but I am a little short of my goal of one project a week. But what is promising is that I have completed the same amount of projects this month than the last two and a half combined.

Day 24 - Snow day

         For those of you unfamiliar with Canadian weather, we do have defined seasons. Despite beliefs otherwise. We are in our spring, which usually means temperature about freezing (0 degrees) and rain, occasionally freezing rain but not snow. Here we are, almost in the month of May and it snowed last night. We enthusiastic Canadians have already changed out of snow tires. So happy the bitter weather finally broke. Well actually, winter was quite mild this year to tell the truth. Not too much to complain about really. But the land can still be bleak, white and devoid of vegetation and seemingly animals as well. But leaving us a little less equipped than we should be. But worry not, we get a lot of rain and most people have tires to accommodate. I just can't believe it snowing. Honestly I shouldn't be surprised. We are the country that constructs Hallowe'en to fit over a snowsuit after all. 

         My day was super busy so this is all I've got for today.  

Day 23- After my initial disappointment

      So after my initial realization and disappointment that I did not post yesterday, it has just cemented my resolve to not have this happen again.

     So onward and upward.

      I noticed that I forgot, how forgetful these antibiotics make me, to post an actual post for today. I do not have much to report. The booties are done and the hat is over half done. As i said before pictures to come. I want to pose them together. I am not sure if I will have time for the mitts, they are needed by Tuesday, but we will just have to wait and see.

      Have a great night.

What should have been Day 22 - Holy crap!

        Oh my God. I was so hopped up on medication yesterday I forgot to post. I can't believe that. I just woke up as it has knocked me out at night and the sleep clinic stuff is out the window. I still go to bed late but I just can't seem to get up. I am so disappointed in myself. There was no reason I couldn't have posted. Just because I was so out of it because of the medication, Damn it! I have had no gaps and have been trying my best, even on days when i have hardly been able to see straight. I didn't take a picture either, which I have been doing. I was thinking of messing with my time stamp and that will not make me feel better. It will take away the gap but I will know I cheated. Damn, I am so disappointed. Well I missed several days at the beginning of the year and have made those up so maybe we can call this my mulligan and I can try harder next year. Let's blame it on the medicine.

     

Day 21 – Baby booties.

        I finally felt up to doing some work on my projects today and I am almost finished the baby booties. (pictures to come) They are for a girl in my office. My cousin also just has a new baby, she has a baptism coming up and I was thinking I could maybe knit her a little pair too. I found the pattern on ravelry.  (cabled-preemie-hat)It is for a preemie but I am going to use a larger needle so it should be good. Instead of using 2.5mm I will be using a 3.25mm and in the same wool as the booties. If I have time I will also make some little mittens. Thumb-less, like all newborns get. I think the full set will be a nice gift if I can get it done.

Day 20 – Are you kidding me?

     I went back to the clinic today. It a very different experience that on Tuesday. No wait to get into an examination room. No wait in the examination room. Doctor took one look, well one touch of my glands and as she hastily pulled her hands away (as I was burning hot) she declared I had a sinus infection. A quick tapping onto my sinuses, which almost sent me to the floor, confirmed it. I hit the jackpot! I have the flu, the fever has dehydrated me and to top it off sinuses infection. Awesome! So I have no idea when I will feel better. Hope to up up and running again soon. Wish me luck.

   

Day 19- I'll just tell them I have nothing to say.

        Guys, I have the flu. Bad. I have no real update today. Sorry. I tried my best but between the advil making me feel fuzzy, not being able to sleep and feeling like complete garbage, I really have nothing to say. Hopefully I will be up and running tomorrow but we will see. Thank-you for your understanding.
