Back at work again. My daughter with Autism was having a really bad day today. Some days are harder than others. It doesn’t help when she can’t sleep for 24-36 hours. It’s not only hard on her but our whole family.
No knitting done again today. Just working on my slides again.
Watched Top Chef inbetween cooking. I knew that they would keep the two guys that were at each others throats. It keeps the drama going on the show. Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be nice, it seems like the nastier you are the more you are rewarded in this world. :shrug:
More later.
Wow, I’m up to three whole pages now. My last night of work tonight, then four days off. We are going to a wedding of a co-worker this weekend. It’s an outdoor wedding and it’s going to be cooking outside. But I’m sure that it will be a beautiful wedding and lots of fun. Tonight I decided to bring along a baby blanket that I’m knitting. It’s a very simple pattern, basket weave, but it will give me something to do while I’m scanning in all of those family slides. Well, I’d better get to it. Later.
I feel so much better:cheering: I was able to knit a few rows on my baby blanket last night. It is amazing how theraputic it can be to knit. Maybe I can even squeeze in some more knitting time this weekend.:happydance: Talk to all of you after the weekend!
Hey, I’m happy you got a chance to get some kniting in. I have too. Just a little bit the other day and I’m going to try today. I have a few things to do but I’ll try. Good luck and keep me post Blog Buddie!
What a long weekend. We went to an outdoor wedding on Saturday that was just beautiful! Then on Sunday I ended up in the ER due to sever weakness, fatigue, diziness, etc. They ordered an MRI and suggested that I go on to see a Neurologist. I can’t get into see my family Dr. for another week but when I do I will be sure to ask for a referal. I am getting very frustrated and would like to know what we’re dealing with so that I can move on with my life. Whatever it is, it is, that’s life, you just deal with it and move on.
Monday I took the girls to the pool. They swam and I enjoyed the breeze and knitting in a lounge chair. I had fun and it felt great to knit. But I paid for it later last night from being out in the heat of the day. I’m going to have to make sure that from now on I try to stay out of the heat.
Today, my little Chihuahua crashed on us. She must have had low blood sugar and then she had a siezure. We took her to the vet and they gave her some medicine to stop the siezure. She is doing better tonight but we have to stay up with her all night to make sure that she doesn’t crash on us again. I’m going to make sure that we feed her something every 4 hours so that hopefully we aviod the low blood sugar again.
Well, that has been the excitement in my life the past four days. It feels like I have been on a rollercoaster. All I know is that I’m looking forward to being at work where things are quiet.
Oh, dear! I’m glad everyone’s OK!
I am so sorry you are going through all of this. Please be careful! 
I have friends with a chi who has seizures, but hers are for basically no reason. She is on anti-seizure medication for them.
Thanks for your concern and caring words. This blog has been such a blessing to me. 
My little Zoey made it through the night and was a ball of energy today:happydance: She is such a sweet little Chi. I hope that by feeing her on a really strick schedule she will not have anymore siezures. I feel so helpless when she has one.
Today I made an apt. with a new Dr for my second opinion. The bad news is that I have to wait until the end of next month. I decided to take matters into my own hands. I pray that I made the right desicion and that the next month will go fast. I just really want some answers and a correct diagnosis.
I’m almost finished with one sock. I have had to push myself to get it finished. My oldest daughter is impatiently waiting for me to finish her pair of socks. After I finish her pair I’m planning on making a sweater for my Zoey. If anyone out there has easy patterns please let me know. She is a very tiny little girl and she will need to be stylish for this winter.:roflhard: Yes, I’m one of those really crazy people who likes to dress up her dogs. 
One of the members here has a website where she sells patterns, and she has a chi sweater. her patterns are very reasonably priced, and the are instant pdf download when you have paid. her user name here is CarmenIbanez, and here is the link to her site. (just click on the lady in the martini glass to go in) there are also lots of free swetaers for dogs, but hers is super cute and designed especially for a chi.
Thanks for the info, I will have to check her out. My little Zoey went one whole day without a siezure. We changed her food and she was full of energy today. The lady I talked to in the pet food store said that for some unknown reason some dogs have siezures on certain dog food. I hope that this will fix the problem. I feel so helpless when she has a siezure.
The good news is that after more blood work I do not have lyme disease or West Nile Virus. The bad news is that the Dr.'s still do not know what is wrong with me. So I am finally being sent on to a Neurologist at the end of August. I hope that someone will cancel their appt. and I can get in sooner. Until then I will have to deal with all of the sypmtoms and continue to pray for a diagnosis. I am learning how to pace myself and to say “NO” to the demands in life. I guess that I can’t be super woman~ I wish that some one would have told me sooner.:roflhard: Oh well, at least I tried.
This weekend I found the cutest patterns for knit baby wash clothes. I want to knit some up for a silent auction our Church is having in August. I have some baby quilts that I’m going to donate too. I hear those needles calling my name~come knit!
hope you get a diagnoses soon. I also hope you get better. I think not knowing what is wrong can be worse then being sick in some ways.
Mayb the change in dog food will work for your dog. that would be great.
It is so nice to know that other knitters are thinking of you and wishing you well. It makes the fear of the unknown easier somehow. Thanks everyone!
The baby wash clothes are going to be so cute.:happydancing: I had to go buy some more yarn tonight so that I can do more of them. I like short easy projects that I can whip out in no time. It’s a feeling of accomplishment and is so satisfying.
Today was not a good day for sleeping. My dd with Asperger’s was having a bad day and kept waking me up. UGH!:pout: I need to get some serious sleep tomorrow after work tonight. Thank God this is a short work week for me.
YEAH:cheering: One baby wash cloth is done and I only have three more to finish before Aug. 4th. I’ll try to post a picture sometime this week. Right now I’m working on the second one that has a rubber ducky on it. I’m working with a yellow cotton yarn and a smaller size needle for this one. I gotta have something to do at work. It’s been slow here and boring:cry: I’m so bored I might even have to start talking to myself:roflhard:
DH and I decided to go to Houston, TX for Christmas to see his family. That gives us 5 months to save up money for the trip. I’ll be starting a list of yarn shops to visit so anyone out there with info on yarn stores in Houston let me know. I can’t wait to imurse myself in all of the pretty colors and fibers out there:roflhard: That also gives me 5 months to hide away some extra cash for all of that pretty yarn I plan on shopping for:rofling:What DH doesn’t know won’t hurt him:thumbsup:
i went to Houston in may, and Lisa (brownishcoat) lives there, so she can possibly help with yarn stores. i’ll ask her to stop in and share sometim
There are several mentioned in the Houston Knitters Knear You thread.
I’ve only been to Yarntopia in Katy and Upstairs Studio in La Porte.
Lisa is sooo good I didn’t even have to ask. :teehee:
Lisa,
Thanks for the info. What part of Houston do you live in? My DH’s family is in the 290/610 area. I used to teach school at Our Shepherd Lutheran and Immanuel Lutheran School inside the loop. I lived there for 5 years where I met my husband on a blind date set up by his little sister. We were just down there a year ago in May for her wedding. It was in Galveston and it was beautiful. All of my “Yankee” teacher friends have moved out of Texas so I’ll have to spend my time hitting the yarn stores to pass time while we are visiting his family. :LOL: My husband is going to be spending some time hunting up at their property between Dallas and Houston with his dad, grandpa, sister and one of our daughters. My youngest and I are going to stay back and find something do to by ourselves. Maybe we’ll do some museums and the zoo? There is so much to do in Houston I’m sure that we’ll find something fun to occupy our time. I look forward to getting to know you better through the blogs. Thanks for the info again!
P.S. I lost both of my parents in 28 months. I feel your pain and know what you are going through.
I live in Deer Park and work in Clear Lake.
Hope you enjoy your visit! 
I finished the second baby wash cloth. It turned out cute!:cheering:
Today I found out that my Chi does not have a liver shunt!:happydance: That was the good news, but the bad news is that I still don’t know why she has siezures.:?? The vet called me today while I was sleeping (after working all night) so I’ll have to call him when I get off in the morning before I go to bed. Maybe he’ll have a better idea of why she has them. I hope we find out soon because it’s scary.:help:
One of these days I’m planning on knitting her a sweater for this winter. Boy is she spoiled!
