SURVIVAL OF THE WARMEST

I shouldn't even put this in writing but, I AM SICK OF WINTER.  Winter used to be my second favorite season, behind Fall, but now... well let's just say Texas looks better every day.  And that is a SAD commentary on this weather.  I do not like summer at all and hate heat but it's been so cold for so long.  A little warmth would be nice.

I will get that warmth in March when I visit my daughter in Houston.  It will probably be enough warmth to make me wish I never wrote this entry.  But even Houston has had an extraordinary winter.  It has been colder than usual and they have even had snow this year.  Granted it was only a little but they panicked anyway. 

My knee is really hurting today.  I find out tomorrow what the future holds, surgery wise.  Even the other knee hurts today.  This 'after 50 years' body is not any fun.  Bad elbow, two bad knees, bad neck.  Girls - you may be caring for me earlier than planned.  Don't worry Mel, if your not ready for me I'll just stay with Becky until you are.  I am sure that is fine with her.

After returning from Houston next month I will have 10 days to myself.  Frank and his brother are off on a cruise to the Caribbean.  TEN DAYS ALONE!  All you married folk out there, read it and weep with jealousy.  I love my husband but ten days of having the remote all to myself is just great.  I get a dog walker for Nestle and we are good to go!

I am about 1/3 of the way through the Pretty Thing Cowl but I have put that aside to make Becky her fingerless gloves.  I am almost done with the first one and hope to have both done by the end of this weekend.  The pattern is called Fetching and they are coming out real well.  I also have two scarves done for my scarf a month club (goal - I want to have one scarf for each of my book club buddies for Xmas).  Granted one was completed last year, but I am still counting it!

No snow in the forecast.  YES!
