HAVING THE BLAH'S

I am still getting over that horrid cold I came home from Texas with. Now it's mostly just the cough which makes everyone move away from me. I feel like a pariah. One girl I sat next to on the bus actually covered her face with her coat. I felt bad but what was I to do? I covered my mouth and all but I guess she was still freaked.

I wore my cowgirl boots this weekend. They are so comfortable, I love em. Mel wore hers too and she loved them just as much. I was going to wear them this weekend but we are expecting temp's in the 80's so that is too hot for boots, at least for me. I am sure those crazy Texan's wear them all year.

Karen, Anita and I are taking the Potomac lunch cruise on Friday to see the Cherry Blossoms. It's our annual birthday lunch to celebrate our birthdays (Anita and I). This is supposed to be the peak weekend. I was hoping to visit some museums before the cruise but they don't open until 10:00 and we have to leave for the cruise by 10:30!

I started Becky's sweater with much trepidation. Pheelya and Denise helped me change the design so I could do it in the round but I am still having questions. I will talk to Pheelya about it tomorrow night.

The 2nd installment of STR yarn arrived yesterday. It is gorgeous. Shades of green and pink. The patterns are lovely too which will make it difficult to pick which one to make. If one is toe up and the other top down, I will most likely pick the top down. I still don't have the hang of the toe up.

New laptop works fine. I got it hooked up to the printer. I can't find my Word program anywhere so may have to install the old one. That would mean I can't read any of the word documents already on there since they were done in the new version. I bet I lent it to someone who never gave it back. I will check with my brother and kids but I know Mel has her own version. How about it Becky, did I lend it to you?

Frank is on his cruise but I have been too busy to enjoy the solitude. Nestle is not happy. She does not like being kenneled all day. Rachel comes and walks her twice a day but it's not enough. I plan to just stay home with her on Saturday.

Therapy is done. I plan to quit curves and join the CA gym so that I have more choices and so I can swim. Swimming is good for my knees and CA has a therapeutic heated pool which will be good for my knees.

April is almost here so I guess I need to start another scarf. An easy one so that I have something to knit when I can't really concentrate. Always need to have more than one project going!
