Sick Day
Strayed home from work, just wore out. Went to home yesterday and slept all day. Today was the same. Tomorrow is back to work as usual. Two more days left in the week. Been working on Harmony's sweater. I had to ripped out the back/shoulder area because of the variegation of the yarn was making a big white spot. Ended up tying another ball and alternating between the two balls of yarn. It now looks like the rest of piece. It has been nice here and we had a break from the heat last week Have some new pictures of Harmony I have to retrieve them from Melissa's camera and post them. Need to hug that grand baby of mine.

Playing with the Camera
I Recently had cataract surgery and laser surgery on both of my eyes. For the first time in my life I don't have to rely on contacts, glasses and sometimes both. To the people are scared to have cataract surgery. I say life is too short not to be able to see the world around us. My cataracts were found in a routine eye exam; because I lost my eyeglasses and needed a new prescription in order to replace them. The first thing after the first surgery for my right eye. I noticed was the details, and vivid color. The astigmatism was fixed as well. After i had it done. i realized the eyeglass prescription for the astigmatism was never right for my contacts even before the cataracts.

Sunday nite

Home finally after dropping Dennis's kids off. The weather did improve and it did turn out to be a very nice day overall. My oldest asked me, if I would watch the Harmony on Friday. Four kids and a grandchild too. I told her I would have to thank about that one. Let see, getting up in wee morning hours, work day, and four children? I will still thank about it, because I want some Grandma bonding time. Just wish it was another day. Throwing in some laundry into the washer and it off to bed for me.
I did work on the sweater for a while. I still thanking about ditching the bf sweater. and using the yarn for something else. I look at the stash of pattern and decide later.

Weather
What a difference between yesterday and today makes. Doom and gloom Sunday morning. Typical Pacific Northwest weather. Planning any outdoors activities ahead of time is taking a chance of pouring down rain. Yes, we live in a very beautiful region of the country. We got mountains, rivers, beaches, and a Pacific Ocean: but we also have abundance of rain gear and umbrellas. We even created a festival and named it Bumpershoot. Bumpershoot is another name for Umbrella.
Tomorrow is starting the work week over and it like typical, will turn out to be nice, hot and miserable. Since there is no air conditioning and poor ventilation.

Afternoon at the Park
Dennis, his kids, and I went to a local waterfront park to escape the heat of the day. Seating at a picnic bench, enjoying the breeze off the water, and working on Harmony's sweater The kids and Dennis were at the playground, I looked up toward the water and watched a bride and her bridesmaids helping to carry the train of her wedding dress. The wedding party followed are in tuxes. The photographer was taking pictures of the wedding party on a very beautiful Saturday afternoon and then I realized it was July 7 th, 2007. I wondered if they planned to get married at 7:07 p.m. that evening.
Beautiful Saturday
Love my Saturdays! Sleeping in and not having to get up before the birds even open their eyes. The only good point of this job is weekends off. Thanking about going to a local waterfront park and taking Dennis's kids and let them play. I going to take Harmony's sweater and work on it some more.

The various WIP
I have to admit that I have several of them. My goal is to set out and finish them. The first, is my granddaughter"s Harmony sweater. Just a basic sweater, something i don't have thank about what I am doing, It is what I refer to mindless knitting; set on a couch, favorite show or movie and knit. The socks I have started kept getting frustrated; because of the dropped needles, in the couch, under the couch and on the floor. I have spent more time retrieving them then I did knitting, Going to learn knitting on 2 circs.(least there be only one to retrieve and it is a lot longer and more easier to be found. The forbidden, kniting the sweater for the boyfriend, Dennis. He actually excited about it, I keep thanking about the curse of the bf sweater. I look at it and put it away because I value the relationship more, Maybe use the yarn for something else.
