I hate being sick!

I got a cold or something on Thursday. Sore throat, congestion, and general body aches. Worked through it and did ok Thursday night. Friday I was a complete slug. I called in sick and posted up on the couch all day. Kyle is feeling crummy too, so he called off his KC weekend and opted for couch time with me.

Today I'm feeling just as bad, but I can't ignore this gorgeous day. I weeded the garden and then did some knitting on the back porch.



Blues L to R: my gardening gloves, my knitting, my flip-flops, and my water bottle



My house boy cleaning gutters



My neighbor's beautiful blooming dogwood tree.

I love spring.

My phat fiber box is here!

Look what the mailman brought. Yay!



Opened with care...



Lots of fun stuff... 7 yarn samples, 7 mini bats, 4 stitch markers, 2 patterns, a small project bag, some lip balm, and some "oh my aching _" salve.
But no time to play because I'm off to work! If only I could yarn full time. Sigh.

step one

I've been saying that I'm going to do this forever. I always have a good excuse not to. So here it goes....

I had the day off today and I could barely get off of the couch. Working four hard days in a row takes a certain amount of recovery. I did a small amount of knitting, surfing the net, watching baseball, baking a fruit pizza, and sitting on the porch. Oh yeah, Ferrick napped the whole time. She really needs to get a job or something.

I was productive in the fact that I scored a phatfiber sample box! They go on sale once a month and you can try at 8am or 8pm. I lost out at 8am, even though I had one in my checkout box but I was not logged in to paypal. Very quickly it was swiped away. So at 8pm I was ready! Woot! I can't wait for it to come in the mail.

Had some amazing seafood with T, J, and little J. They brought it back from their Florida trip and were nice enough to share. We had conch gumbo, biscuits, blackened kobia (s/p?) fillets, and asparagus. And my fruit pizza for dessert. MMM! We also played with little J's Frigits. What an awesome toy! You can set up a whole course for a marble to drop all with refridgerator magnets. I want a set, and I will probalby buy a set for my niece.
