Good day, bad day ( Read more... )

What the hell is up with me and hats? I rarely wear hats, and never really paid much consideration to them. But I just finished knitting my wide-brimmed hat and Hobbit bought a newsboy. And he looks good in it. So my reaction? I'll knit myself a newsboy. I'm almost done with it, I've done the body and the brim, and just need to do the bottom back ( Read more... )

There was a massive thunderstorm last night. It was really frightening until it started raining, then I relaxed. I don't think any fires started  nearby because the sun didn't look red. Today Hobbit and I decided to head out and pick up stuff that we need. We went to walmart and got new towels. They are a matching set of two bath sheets, two bath ( Read more... )

I had a good day. I woke up to my phone going off but I didn't make it in time. I grumbled, and as I was heading back to bed when Hobbit's phone went off. I handed it to him and it was the park manager from down south. He was e-mailing us the rental agreement, and we just needed to print it and mail it back. I got stuff together and went to the ( Read more... )

Finally heard back from the manager of the park down south. He's going to e-mail us the rental agreement, then we need to print it out, fill it out, scan it, and e-mail it back.  Hopefully we get it today and can e-mail it back by tomorrow. Hopefully we'll know by the end of the week ( Read more... )

I've been knitting a lot lately, but not on the sweater. It's been too warm for me to have a pile of wool in my lap. I knit a wide oval brimmed hat. The pattern called for white and black cotton, but the yarn store in Redding doesn't carry 100% cotton, let alone cotton in black, so instead I got a yarn made of sugar cane fibers in white and rainbow ( Read more... )

So Hobbit and I went down a while ago to have the car's oil changed and to have a radiator drain and fill. The car has been overheating and since they did a leak check with the drain and fill it seemed like the easy way to figure out the problem. We had a leak at the lower intake gasket and the thermastat. We were quoted $800 to fix it, but wouldn' ( Read more... )

I was coughing a lot last night, and my throat felt tight. Not so much that it was hard to breathe, but enough that it was constantly noticeable. I actually slept for a relatively long period of time last night, 5 hours. And when I woke up I was hungry, like super hungry. I grabbed a packet of hot cereal with fruit and nuts, nuked it and ate. I ( Read more... )

I barely slept last night. On the good side I got a lot of knitting done between 4:30 and 6 am, but I had to pass out earlier. I just woke up from a nap. I'm still coughing a lot, but the coughs are becoming less productive, so I'm hoping that means it will pass soon. I ate a little pho soup today, and an apricot. My muscles are becoming weak from ( Read more... )
