Squares, squares and more squares

Well, I have made 4 squares since our Guild meeting this month.

I particularly don't like garter stitch squares. Yes, they are easy. Yes, they are fairly quick. But man! they are so BORING!

I made a mitered square (garter stitch) to help break up the monotony, but even that didn't help much.

I love making the squares, but I have to have something to give me a bit of stimulation/excitement, otherwise I just want to fall asleep.

Science Saturdays are over. My son is sad. He really enjoyed going and doing this. He really wants an activity to go to like his sister.

She has a Big Sister through the Big Brothers, Big Sisters group. So every Saturday, she and her Big go out and do fun activities. And, J. has to stay home.

It's been almost a year since we signed up to make a match for my son. No match yet. I wish there were more male volunteers for this program. So many young boys would benefit by having a match.

I will keep my eyes open for a new opportunity for him. Maybe something else will come along.

Cheers!

Very Bad Blogger -- Continued!

OK, yes I told you I was a bad blogger.

But, what else it new? Right?

Well, what has been going on since October? Tons.

There was Halloween. There was K's birthday, Great Grandma's birthday, J's birthday. There was Thanksgiving. There was Christmas/Holiday break, New Year's celebrating. There was my birthday, and last but not least, there was Valentine's day.

Ok, see, I need someone to kick me in the pants and get me in the habit of doing this bloggety thing. :-)

I still have not finished my Mystery Shawl #5, or the Secret of the Stole. I didn't even start the Mystery Halloween Shawl.

But that has not stopped my infatuation with these KALs. I am in Secret of the Stole ii (SotSii), the Mystic Light, and another one or two from Germany.

I also joined 3 yarn clubs to boot! One is only 3 months, and one is all year long, but I can't remember the 3rd. None have started yet, so I keep getting excited about the mail.

Another big change is that we switched my son's meds. Oh boy! what a wonderful difference. Let's just say that it was like someone gave me a different boy. The only problem is that he was sent home with chest pain and a fast heart rate. We saw the doc., and stopped one med. to see if that helped. It seems to have helped. There have been no more chest pain problems, but his heart rate are still really high. I suppose that since the meds are working great on his behavior/mood, that they will have to be stopped because of side effects.

That would be about my luck. >:-(

We see the doctor tomorrow. Now, the other side of this coin is that who knows if his heart rate were high before we started any meds 5 years ago. I seriously doubt that anyone even bothered to check.

I am still knitting up a storm. (Just not shawls) Socks, slippers, hedgehogs. Short, quick projects. I even have a couple of squares done for our Knitting Guild charity project.

Very Bad Blogger!!!!

OK, yes I told you I was a bad blogger.

But, what else it new? Right?
