Did you know today is Blog Day 2006? And no, I haven’t forgotten that it’s also Thursday. I just had a talk with my mom’s doctor and to make a long story short, I’m about to place my mother in hospice. We were told 8-12 months with no treatment, possibly 18 months with successful treatment. [...]

I really planned to write this post yesterday but I couldn’t because my arms fell off.* Well ok they didn’t fall off, but I spent several hours praying that they would. I wanted to post an Effed-O but Satan intervened and instead I had effed shoulders. I couldn’t even knit for two days I was [...]

I was struggling with finding something to write about today. Today was a big day of will planning and hospice planning and all other manner of heart rending discussions with Mom. I hadn’t wanted to write about it, though. She’s declining and there’s no other way to put it except plainly. I was chatting with [...]

I’ve done the 12 squares required in the pattern for the farm play mat. But. And there always is a but(t), isn’t there? But I knit them all in different yarns/gauges which means they’re not going to fit together neatly. Didn’t you see that coming a mile away? You ask. I did. I knew it [...]
