[B]Ann:[/B] I am so glad you made it through ok. It’s natural and normal to feel sad and upset at a time like this. The first Mother’s Day is usually the hardest. I was 46 when my Mom passed away so I can’t imagine what you are going through age wise, but I know what you are feeling generally. If you need me, I am here for you anytime! I can’t wait to see pictures of your shawl (hint, hint).
[B]Carla:[/B] I talked, listened, watched and advised. I tried really hard not to preach or repeat myself over and over. However, I kept on remembering what a relative had said to me… “when you go shopping for food, you squeeze the tomatoes and the oranges, you poke the meat, you shake and tap and generally “test” the food, so why when you are going shopping for a husband would you not “test” the most important part of the relationship!” I was shocked at the time, but later on I realized that this information was very valuable. I advised my DD not to marry anyone without first living with him for at least a year. If you can live with a person for a year and don’t kill him or he doesn’t drive you nuts, then you can live with them for life. Just my humble opinion.
[B]Carey:[/B] Hi my friend! You sound very busy!
[B]Julie:[/B] It sounds like you need a day away from all of it, kids, wedding, husband, studying, housework and visiting! Yes, I have more trouble with larger needles than with smaller ones. I can knit socks right now, but ww and the larger needles get me aching every single time, even with my “knitting pillow”. Congrats on the wonderful marks!!!
[B]Dustina:[/B] Are you still as in love with the farm as you were when you first saw it? I hope the inspection goes well.
[B]Rosalie:[/B] Good luck this week!
OK so today, we left here and went to physio. I knit my sock on the way there. Then we left physio and went to visit DH’s Mom. I knit my sock at her house as well. She loves to watch me knit, although she pretends she is not watching if I look up and catch her at it. We left her house and went to the doctor’s office where he ordered x-rays for my back, done at the hospital. We went to the hospital and had the x-rays done. I knit at the hospital. We then came home. DH has gone to get the anti-inflammatory the doctor ordered. The x-rays will tell us whether the physio is right and it is a herniated disk in my lower back, or the doctor is right and it is sacariliac (sp) joint problems. Either way I know that right now I am sore as h-e-double hockey sticks.
Drugs are here now. G’nite!!!
