Hello All!
I'm a day late to Kat's Unraveled Party. Yesterday was busy and longer than usual. Typically I don't get to C&M's to watch Iris until 9:00 or thereabouts. Yesterday I was there by 7:45 a.m.! Colin had an early meeting (conference call). Luckily Iris was on her best behavior, despite being FULL of energy. We did some coloring, a lot of reading, playing her keyboard, playing with sticker books, etc., etc. Mailing was headed to Virginia later in the day, so she was home too and working. But, we all got to have lunch together.
After lunch and a couple of books, Iris fell sound asleep rather quickly and while she napped I was able to knit. I'm within 5 (or maybe it's 8) rows of finishing the toe decrease on my first Mardi Gras sock.
I'm hoping to finish this today (maybe this morning??) and then start sock #2. Time will tell. I have a lot of things to get done today...
The only book I finished in the last week was Teaching a Stone to Talk by Annie Dillard. My copy of this book is old and falling apart. When I wrote my name in the front of the book, the date I wrote was in 1994! Anyway, a good read. Some of the essays I liked more than others (naturally), but I'm glad to have read it. Recently when I ended my Audible membership I downloaded Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and am looking forward to listening (at some point) to that.
One of my errands today will be a trip to the library where a couple of books are waiting for me to pick them up. Another trip is to CVS (what's new?) where prescriptions await my picking them up. Later this afternoon I need to take Fletch for some blood work at Quest. And I hope to drop off more donation things! Whew!
If you would keep my oldest brother in your thoughts and prayers I'd appreciate it. We saw Ray on Sunday at my nephew's home and he was fine. But he ended up in the ER Monday night and is still in the hospital. Since having open heart surgery a number of years ago, Ray has been on blood thinners and was having recent problems with the correct dosage. Anyway...he ended up with a rather large and painful hematoma on his stomach (Ugh). He did have a "procedure" yesterday to stop the bleeding (which apparently was still going on), but he is not home yet. All healing thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.
In between errands and other things, I'm going to attempt to catch up on blog reading today. I hope and trust that everyone is having a good week. Take care.
