Knitting time out

Well the cardinal hat may be my only FO in October.
Last Thursday gravity won the day & I now have a broken radius.
For the next 5 to 6 weeks I will be sporting a bright pink arm cast.
Life goes on.

First week of July 2012

Still no luck on the job front. I keep revamping my resume and searching online listings.
The 4th was very nice.

Red, White, and Blue at the gray house.

Once again my DS did a great job in celebrating the holiday.
 

Volunteering at HPL went well.  
Downtown was nearly empty on July 5th.
I had lunch by the City Hall, overlooking Tranquility park

I tried out a new bus route, it gives me the bonus of adding in some walking time too. This is very good since I am having to deal with high blood sugars again. Actually got a few more rows done on the Boneyard shawl.

A time for graditude

During this week I plan to focus on being thankful for family, friends, and yes returning back to a healthier life. I have been alert & pain free enough to start sending out resumes & cover letters. I am using all the tools I can, Linkedin, Monster.com, WorkinTexas, and the TLA Jobline. Given the current financial times librarian jobs are not very plentiful. But I am still putting my name out where ever possible.
After this week it is time to climb back on the medical merry-go-round. Scheduled for my amusement are a CTscan, a MRI, & a MRA(what ever that is). At least I will have time in various waiting rooms for knitting up some yuletide gifts.
Wishing one & all a joyful Thanksgiving.

Still bogged down in the medical swamp

    This week was not very fun. Had to have another colonoscopy on Thursday. This of course made Wednesday a real challenge. You would think someone could figure out how to make the preparation fluid more palatable. It is currently like drinking from a toxic waste site. Although I REALLY like the medication that puts me in dreamland during the procedure, I always come out of it weeping and confused. Today I went to my oncologist at 10:30 & because my potassium was so low he needed me to have an immediate intravenous drip of the stuff. This had me finally leaving for home at 4 pm. During the visit with him he did state that I am in remission but because of the on-going problems with my liver & spleen I will need to be checked over on a regular basis for sometime to come. I have this sinking feeling that I will never be free and clear of the medical profession again.
     I am knitting again on a more regular basis. I've finish 2 scarfs and just about done with a pair of socks. Besides Xmas gifts, a friend recently told me she is expecting twins so soft baby yarns are in my future.
