Whoa!
Did anyone get the number of that bus that leveled my life last
week? It was one of those weeks during
which you go to sleep and wake up without knowing what day it is. There were
doctors’ visits, a birthday, Father’s Day, a minor accident, vet visits, and a
whole lot of catering to the whims of a small dog. Knitting progressed as a waiting room
distraction as well as books listened to and read.
I discovered the Jake Lassiter series
by Paul Levine. Main character Jake is a
spirited defense attorney of former pro-football fame. These are great courtroom dramas with a lot
of investigative action thrown in. Just
my cup of tea!
Knitting continues on Simple Knit Shrug with hope that it will be finished before the snow flies again. At the same time I have had the opportunity
to take a few licks at Featherweight Cardi as well.
The minor accident involved our
little Max pup. He was getting a drink
of water and as is his way, decided to wipe his mouth on a hallway rug (mom
says with great chagrin). His collar and
tags became snagged on the rug and pulled tight around his neck. I heard him whining and rushed to untangle
him but he was not himself the rest of the day.
The vet says his throat was red and put him on antibiotic and anti-inflammatory
meds. The worst part is that he will not
drink out of the water dish now, so we give him water in his food and with ice
cubes which are good for his throat. Pets
are like kids—it’s always something!
Macy is doing doggie yoga.
Dirty bird Mr. Woodpecker came to eat
after a heavy rain. He is so muddy you
can hardly tell he is a woodpecker.
This week started off with a slow
start and so far has been normal.
Hopefully no more catch me if you can.
Life is good.
