Craptastic

I don't know what has been going on but I have been feeling very sore and tired for a least three weeks, in a word I have been feeling CRAPTASTIC. I have had terrible headaches for a while and this is unusual for me, typically I get a headache about once a year and I usually have done something to earn it. I am also feeling a bit homesick and my mood has been as low as my physical energy. This is also unusual for me.

Don't worry this is not a pity post I am working to pull myself up by the boot straps. I have stepped up to the plate and I have increased my mileage and have added some more challenging runs as well as increasing the weight workouts. I am hoping that this will make me feel better and will help to increase my energy and shake off the blues.

I am also trying to drink more water and eat more protein and less sugar. I don't eat a lot of sugar but just a little of the stuff seems to mess with my energy levels. Sugar, sugar, typing the word kind of makes me want a cookie, sugar.

Here is some craptastic knitting for you: it looks all good to start a new project doesn't it?



Look, I even get gauge with the suggested needle size: No one comment of the size of the swatch, size doesn't matter and neither does row gauge.



Here is where is all goes south: Even the lego knights can't figure out this lace pattern. Don't to worry, I am practicing with some durable sale yarn, no alpaca/silk yarn has been harmed in this experiment.



It's not all bad, in fact I have a lot to smile about.

A 2nd birthday card from mom and Darryl. Knitting a sock from the knitting book that was just a small portion of the knitterly gifts from them.



Two pairs of finished socks: one for Shannon and one for me. (Shannon I will put these in the mail for you with Taylor's birthday gift.)



Love:



Roses in my own backyard thinking very hard about blooming:



One of a thousand smiles I get everyday:



Kamloops is a lovely place, anyone in California or Las Vegas want to move here???

I was wondering where you'd been lately, glad to have you back. Kamloops isn't looking so bad right now, it was 103 degrees here today!

I'm with Angie, the temperature there sounds much better than the tempature here. I
I'm glad you're back, I was wondering where you'd wandered off to.

Too cold in the winter for me. Don't mind the hot days here in the valley we have A/C. They need to start putting it in homes in the BA what with Global Warming and all.
