5 Days of Themes

By -
Sometimes it is easier to write with a prompt.  So I'm going to list 5 days of themes for this week.   If you wish to join in, hooray. The more the merrier.  Each day will involve some knitting thoughts and some completely unrelated thoughts.....because you know how random I can get....


Tuesday, today:

The Joy of Mammograms and the Joy of Finding a Lost Needle

Wednesday:

The Joy of Fall Foliage and the Joy of the Right Knitting Spot

Thursday:

The Joy of Seeing Wildlife and the Joy of Fingerless Gloves

Friday:

The Joy of a New Appliance and the Joy of Yarn in the Mail

And FInally

Saturday:

The Joy of Sleep of course, and the Joy of Knitting for a Co workers new grand baby.

So, Im off to have my mammogram for the year and I'm so excited about it.  Just can't wait to get in a gown and freeze my chest off waiting to be called in.  Just can't wait to answer whether I've gained any weight this year, and just can't wait to hold my breath a few times.   What I really can't wait for , though, is the news that all is well......

and as far as finding a lost needle........this happened many a time on our recent car trips.  I do not recommend a car that makes needle retrieval nearly impossible without pulling over to the side of the road.  And, yes, I was the passenger.   However, the joy of finding the needle again, is close to the joy of finding my wedding rings on the carpet at work the other night.....but that's another story......

Great themes!! Wedding rings on the carpet reminds me of mine being in the bottom of the trash can a few days ago. It was swept off the bathroom counter when I took it off to keep it from getting gooey with moisturizer. Thankfully we found it after a determined search.

so glad you found your wedding ring! and that's why I knit with circs in the car! Less likely to lose one. And yes - even the hubbies car makes finding a needle difficult. In fact, there's still one waiting retreival (I was using it as a cable needle).

I need to get a mammogram. I keep saying ill schedule one after (blank). Right now, it's after I finish my master's work. My grandma had breast cancer at 30, and a mammogram at 22 could have saved her breast. I keep meaning to do it but put it off because I don't know where to start.

My "girls" had their photos taken in July. The technician still remembers the day I fainted during my mammogram, and that was over two years ago. Note to self: if you feel lightheaded, ask to sit down immediately. ;oD

Thanks for the reminder. I need to call and find out why they haven't scheduled my smashogram.

I had my wedding band fly off a cold finger under the fire engine at roll call one morning. After a long, lanky co-worker retrieved it from too near the floor drain, he suggested that I NOT wear it at work... Hem.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
