OH NO

It's Saturday morning and I have run out of yarn for my wedding sweater. I am off to work and have no time to run over to my local yarn store. When I originally purchased the yarn I bought extra  because I knew I was going to lengthen the sweater. But I did think I had enough. Well, a trip on Monday. My car is giving me trouble. I have just had the heater core replaced. Goodbye $600.00. Now my headlights wont turn off. It looks like another few hundred dollars. For now, each time I get in to go somewhere or get out I have to either connect or disconnect the - battery cable. I have a ghetto car. The coming week is really going to be busy and stressful. Meanwhile I'll go through my knitting books for inspiration for my next project. I have some yarn in my stash which would make a nice summer twin set. Mmmm. Well it's off to work. Bye fer now. Cheers.

Hello again

Well I haven't accomplished what I thought I would have today. I'll be leaving Canada in a few months so I have to get on the ball deciding what stays and what goes with me. It's a very emotional journey going through my "things" and making this decision. I love my books and c.d's and movies but I cannot take all of them with me. I saved most of my music on my laptop so now the c.d's are in a  backpack ready to make the journey to the second hand store. I'll take most of my movies as we wont have cable t.v. in our house for a while. Up to now I haven't been able to come to a decision on the books. I'll leave that for another day. I did a little bit of work on my sweater this evening. I have both sleeves on the needles and am now at the sleeve top shaping. I feel worn out so I think I'll have an early night. Better to get to bed than to work tired and end up making stupid mistakes. I talked to Betty (my mum) today so that cheered me up a bit. She'll be here soon for Carly's wedding and then after she will spend a week with me. It's been a couple of years since I've seen her so this is going to be fun. I love my mum so much. God willing and her good health Tito and I are hoping that she will come and spend Christmas with us in Ecuador. Christmas without snow???? This should be interesting. Night night. Bye fer now.
