So… er… Hi.
I’m still here, I SWEAR. But I don’t know if you’ve noticed or anything. But it’s like CHRISTMAS EVE tomorrow. And I’m a knitter. And as such I am burning the midnight oil (literally!) trying to get out a few last presents for the family. And, sadly, amidst much knitting there isn’t much time for blogging.
Besides, all you would hear me say is, “FLU! ACK! KNITKNITKNIT! MY BACK! ACK! KNITKNITKNIT!” That’s pretty much all that’s happened since I last posted anyhow.
So yeah. It was the flu. As evidenced by the crazy ass fever I was sporting (probably WHILE I was writing that last post which does actually explain quite a bit, don’t you think?). Luckily, I bore the worst of it in the hood here. Kile and Harry both were sick but neither were in the throes quite as deep as I was. So… there’s that? But I totally lost a whole day of knitting and that SUCKED.
KNITKNITKNIT!
And then the whole back thing. I did something funky to it yesterday, popped something out of alignment behind my right shoulder blade or something. Hurts like heck. I had four ibuprofen earlier which sorta helped dull the PAINPAINPAIN, which is improvement because the 4 ibuprofen I took yesterday did nada. I seriously woke up this morning feeling like one big old muscle cramp.
I can still barely turn my head to the right but whatever. I don’t need to be able to do that to knit.
KNITKNITKNIT!
Luckily, I’m mostly done with gifts. I wasn’t able to get everything done that I hoped, but perhaps that will remain as a lesson to me to START EARLIER. And not to let ones customs list get so out of control next time. *cough* I only have left the rest of Evie’s longies (I’m on the second cuff ruffle… woot!) and a hat for Harry. Oh and a hat for my father in law, but that doesn’t need to be done until like Saturday or thereabouts. So a bit ol’ WHEW there. I will finish! I must! And no, I don’t get a day off, because soon as I have a chance, I have to get back into customs.
It’s a good thing I like to stay busy with this, huh?
Kile has tomorrow off and doesn’t go back to work until after New Years which is going to be wonderful. I’m looking forward to a few days of family fun and chaos, actually. I’m not 100% sure what our plans are for tomorrow yet, but I think they might involve eating Chinese food. Which is fine by me! And perhaps driving around and looking at Christmas lights. That’ll be nice. Oh and brining a turkey. But that’s more Kile than me.
If I don’t talk to you before the Big Day, I just wanna say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone out there (there are still some of you left, aren’t there?). I hope everyone has a great holiday together and that you get everything on your wish lists.
Ho ho ho!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Christmas time and everybody loves everybody. It’s a part of year that makes me think: couldn’t be like that everyday?
I’m glad you’re going to make it.. you can probably knit a hat in your sleep, no?
But I hate that you were so sick and you hurt 
I had a few homemade Christmas things that I really wanted to do.. but I decided not to worry myself about them because I suspected that they would take MUCH longer than I thought. And I didn’t want to miss out of Christmas fun or to stress about it. But then something else came up and I lost almost 3 weeks helping hubby with a project.. so it’s a really good thing I DIDN’T do them! I’m still not 100% ready; just picking up the house mostly.. and I’m past caring, so hey! Let it come!
Merry Christmas!
