What to do??

It’s been a long couple days at work, but I love working with Veronica at DQ, so the longs days pass quickly and are not onerous. 

My knitting has been neglected, but I have made some progress into the heel of my Wonder Woman socks. I love that Emily has put lively gold tones in the heel yarn - it’s not just a solid contrasting colour!!

I was feel a bit betwixt and between on whether to continue on this project, start the new one for our ‘Mina, or wind up the yarn and swatch for Lynn’s Humulus. But the longer I thought on it, the less knitting that got done. GAH!! 

So I went with my heart, not selfish, not work, my heart. I have cast on - look how tiny it is!!! I’m making the 6-9 month size so that our ‘Mina can get some use out of them.  

Thank you to Julie at The Needle Emporium for gifting this kit to me. What started out as a just a job turned into a friendship - more knitting magic ♥️☺️♥️

I am still eating to a keto diet ... it’s not a hardship; I don’t crave sugar. I sometimes think about pasta or a Blizzard, but I don’t truly crave them. 

When I do fancy a sweet, I make these brownies  They are not sweet in the sense that most people are accustomed to, but they satisfy me and I add a few berries and some whipped cream and I’m a happy camper!! My secret is in the butter. Remember at Christmas when Craig surprised me with the Magical Butter machine  The canna butter that I made is top shelf and 1/2 tbsp is sufficient to ensure a good sleep. 

So, back to my knitting until it’s time to sleep! 

Today

Well, it wasn’t quite the day that I had planned.

The kids were supposed to come up, I’d meet Mahsa and Amin,  have dinner and we were going to do the gender reveal with a DQ Cake. Poor little Amin and big Kyle are laid a bit low with some of the flu/cold going around, so that was cancelled. I put the lasagna in the freeer and  Craig was not disappointed to not have to share the pulled pork. 

This cake is a work of unrevealed art, which will keep in the freezer until next weekend when were are planning a do-over.

The ladies at work who are in on the secret have done an excellent job of not letting the cat out of the bag; they’ll have to keep stumm a few days longer!

After that, it was just a succession of annoying and disappointing bits that conspired to fuck with my day. 

But the laundry got done and we met up with my Poke-buddy Jess for Community Day. Most definitely successful and we had a great time!!

One of the shiny Dratinis became a green Dragonite (which I have renamed Puff), and I have a nice little herd of normal Dragonites. I am now Mother of Dragons!!

Tonight Craig and I feasted on the pulled pork and a glass of wine is making the wait between the 4-man bobsled runs more bearable. We are cheering on all of the Canadian sleds, but especially the Poloniato crew, of which my cousin Josh Kirkpatrick is a member! 

I need to find my fluting an d knitting mojo - these things have fallen a bit by the wayside over the last couple weeks. I have tomorrow off as well, and as today was Errand Day, tomorrow will be my Rest & Wellness Day.
