Just Another Week

The Ex & I just celebrated our 32nd anniversary. I had to look it up in the files since neither of us has ever been able to remember the exact date!  The "Wedding" happened in a hurry one afternoon between his shift  & mine on the only day when we could co-ordinate the witnesses, the Commissionaire, our schedules .  .  .  .  .  AND still get the  Spousal Tax Deduction.  I think the whole thing took 8 minutes & we didn't bother to tell anyone for months. Why? We had multiples of everything from tea pots to TVs when we combined households & didn't need or want anything more.

And what did we do to celebrate??? Two dishes of take-out Chinese food picked up as I passed on my way home from an appointment. Chicken & Broccoli & Sing Chow curried noodles have become our favorites along with Wor Wonton Soup. I know I enjoyed it.

Life has been busy as hell with all these medical appointments & tests.  This week I finally got all the results. I am much improved & my lungs are finally clear since leaving the hospital - Yessssss!  But I could tell I was better by the things I can do. Not the same as the old healthy me but a lot better than the weak sister I was when released.  I can leap out of bed - hahahaha - & be ready to go for coffee in less than an hour nowadays if I really try! I can walk the whole Safeway without having to sit & rest but still not able to do the Home Depot without a scooter.
They are still harping on about a C-pap machine at night since my O2 goes very low when I sleep so I made an appointment for January to shut everyone up & get all the info direct from the horse's mouth. I had a look at the masks on display & they sure are a whole lot different from the dinosaur that jumped up & down on my face in the hospital!!  My nasal bones are still tender from the pounding they got in ICU. All I can say is it's a good thing my dating days are over!

Knitting Content - socks of course! Dug into my stash & found some Opal Rainforest yarn in greens. I think the critter on the ball band is a Moth. When I find the camera, I'll take a shot. Another pair of scrappy socks in pinks/purples - I love them so much they're not leaving home!!
Found a small bin with fleece in it. It's dry romney I bought years & years ago, It was not my first choice to spin, in fact, I was very disappointed in it at the time but the vendor told me to spin some before commenting. I did spin some of it & it turned into the most delicious steel grey skein. When washed, it wasn't dry at all but really showed it's worth when rinsed with a little conditioner. I loved it. I thought I'd spun it all up a long time ago. Found a small Turkish spindle in the same bin & have been messing around with it outside on the porch when it's warm enough .  .  .  .  .  I'm sort of thinking about Vicky's support spindle & how much easier it would be.
