Don'tcha Just hate it when "Life" Gets in the Way?

I know.. it's been a while.. and I'm not even here to talk about knitting (much.).. I'm here to fill your eyes full of excuses.. because that's just the way it's gonna be..

I did infact swatch for Aunt Faye's project.. and when I was satisfied that I was on gauge and got a good look at how the fabric is gonna turn out.. I did cast on her capelet.. I'm even on the last row of the edging..

But then Monday came and I got horribly sick.. AND I had to go to work.. and this kind of project isn't very portable.. I can't imagine trying to keep two different balls of (very strange) yarn wrangled in my lap in an office chair.. it just isn't doable.

I read about half of my Yarn Harlot book.. and I knitted about 3 inches of my Ribby2 sleeve.. (Yes.. I'm still on the first sleeve.. hush up.)

Oh.. and on Monday I just thought I was sick..

Then Tuesday came... and I hauled my Nyquil drugged butt outa bed and went to the doctor.. I apparently have a Sinus Infection.

Not wanting to get Aunt Faye or other relatives sick.. I stopped knitting on her project.

Then Wednesday came and I was even SICKER!!! Augh!

But I couldn't stand not knitting anymore so I broke out the Twine (A-la Grumperina) and knitted my mom a coaster.

Then yesterday my antibiotics decided to play a dirty.. dirty trick on me and cause me all day long problems in the restroom. Not pretty.

And now we're at today.. and I feel better today.. I'm still coughing and sneezing some but I can tell it's letting go finally.

...But..

I'm still trying not to knit... because you see... my birthday is on Sunday.. and having divorced parents means that birthdays are not just one day.. This time my birthday is going to last till Monday night.. (And start Saturday afternoon.) but in order to fully enjoy this long birthday weekend I must get my butt in gear and do (and submit) all the school assignments that are due on that Monday.

*sigh* I know... I know..

On the brighter side of things I am seriously plotting and scheming up a way to get that Traveling Cables Cardigan pattern in my knitting bag... I want it so bad but I am not willing to pay 5.50 to ship the darn thing..

I'm so cheap.

I miss knitting : / but I really gotta stop procrastinating and get working on that school work..

Maybe.. Just maybe.. I will have some knitting related birthday gift coming my way.. and you will for sure hear about it! (Even if I have to buy it myself! HA!)

Happy Birthday! I hope you feel better soon. I googled the travelling cables cardigan and came up with a few places that sell it...try for the cheapest shipping...

Sorry you've been so sick - I'm still wiping noses here, too - but nothing like what you are going thru =(

Hope you feel better soon - everyone I know who have been on antibiotics lately have had serious stomach issues from them - weird.

Get Well, soon =)

Sorry to hear you're so sick.... Being sick, having school work AND a birthday can be a bit too much. I hope you at least get a fun weekend with lots of lovely presents.
