Somedays life looks sunny and bright and others the storms hit, trees are ripped from the ground, and all the lights go out.
Both those scenarios have occurred in the space of one week. Minnesota finally has sunny warm weather - coinciding with my basil getting planted and a few bike rides with my hubby. Then the storms hit, we lose power - our shower breaks flooding the basement bathroom twice, my hubby dislocates his elbow prompting all trips and bike rides to be out off, and now he's traveling for work right before we move (mostly creating stress, not disaster). The ups and downs of life.
Normally, knitting would pull me through the hard times. But summer at my job means iPads. iPads mean sitting at a desk for hours covering new devices with screen protectors. Causing a tendonitis flare up. As my husband sits with his arm in an immobilizer, I sit with my hand in a brace unable to do the hobbies I love best, knitting and biking.
Thanks for listening to the whining.
To make up for this sad post, here are two hilarious photos of my cat.
He's taken to wrapping himself around things as he sleeps on the couch, or taking a whole couch 1/2 to himself.
He is completely asleep in these two photos.
Ending with some positive: my design Incan Lily was featured in the Minnesota Knitting Guild newsletter, which blew my hand-knit socks off. I might be teaching knitting sometime this fall ... Lesson plans are percolating in the back of my brain. The camping trip to Montana has only been postponed - if all goes well we should still be able to camp at Glacier National Park in October with our bikes! Silver lining, silver lining.
Be excellent to each other!
