IT IS OVER

The CWS is over and I am done.  I sent out a thank you email to all my volunteers and stated quite clearly that I no longer would coordinate the event.  I got several emails thanking me for the five or so years I coordinated the event and everyone of them said that they admired the way I stated, quite clearly, that I still had the call but not the ability to lead it.  No one has stepped up yet but we have a year.

On the knee - it seems I have some damage to my left knee.  I have water on the knee, some bone spurs and maybe cartiledge damage.  I see Clark Brill next week.  So I limp along and walk slow, just like the little old lady I am!  I will be looking into those chairs that help you up any day now!

My oldest arrives late tonight for a quick visit and then on to a conference in VA.  A pleasant surprise.  She and I both go visit my youngest in Houston in March.  That will be so much fun.  I love when I have time with both of them at the same time.

Sandy and I are having dinner in Silver Spring tonight with 'Our Lady of the Airplane' or Linda, as some people know her.  It's Sandy's birthday week so we are taking her out to dinner.  Any excuse for a girls night out!

I dog sat for a friend's dog last night.  It was strange.  They both decided to ignore each other.  Nestle sat with me on the couch, bundled in a blanket (her choice) while Sashi slept on the couch in the living room.  Neither entered the other one's chosen room until I took them for a walk.  Bedtime I put them both in bed with me but Sashi would have none of that.  She slept on her bed on the floor.  She seemed so sad.  I think she has had enough and wants her mommy and daddy to come home or, better yet, to go stay with her Normale, like she usually does.

This week I made another cowl, this one for Anna who was coveting the one that I gave to Florence.  This one is in the same yarn but in shades of blue.  I would enclose a photo here but my friend, who knows who she is, has not shown me how to do that yet. 

I have seen the radiology people a lot this past week.  I feel like we are getting to know each other.  Of course, because I brought knitting, the wait time was nil.  I arrived for the xray and they told me I had an hour wait.  Five minutes later when the nurse said "King"  I looked around for the person with the same name.  Turns out she meant me.  So, the thing to learn here is, learn to knit, bring it to all appointments and you will NEVER have to sit and wait.

Nice relaxing weekend ahead with daughter home and husband in Staten Island, helping his brother with the viewing and funeral of his wife.  Because of daughter's visit I can't go to funeral.  It's amazing what kids are good for!
