Like many I find the balancing of life sometimes a little difficult to do. Yesterday I got knitting time the hard way, definitely not the recommended way. I was doing the routine things that everyone does when getting ready for work or start of day such as having a Shower and I managed to fall out of it. Not just a mini trip or knocking my toes on the bathtub rim but a lets plant the face first onto the bathroom floor as I attempted to step out of the bathtub. Our shower is over one end of the bathtub.
After rearranging self for decency and attempting to get a look at the damage I found that I would not be getting up off the floor without assistance. A pitiful cry of help went out and the youngest came to rescue me. I got given my glasses so I could look in focus at the damage not just blurr. A winnie the pooh band aid was applied to my broken skin on the foot to stop bleeding and a small dose of sympathy in "That was a silly thing to do" handed back to his mother. It was a funny to hear my own and my mother's commentary and phraseology coming out of the mouth of babes. He got me off the floor and downstairs, a bag of frozen peas and looked again at the bruise when he commented "Can I stay home and look after you cause you wont be able to go to work". Thank you that is a lovely offer but now tell me why you dont want to go to school. It turns out he had to do a class presentation and the thought of standing up to speak was giving him the hebie jebies. He went to school and presentation went well.
Last pair of socks which were worn to keep tooties from freezing. |

All in all today can be summarised as
Bad points
- metatarsal damage ie Footballer break to 2nd and 3rd tarsal.
- missing students sessions and therefore the pay from seeing students = less yarn
- waiting around a lot
Good points
- I got to knit a LOT
- I got some lovely comments for the possum socks, Wangi's, from the various nurses, doctor and radiographer.
- I got some serious advancement on my Dublin bay socks
- Taught a couple of other patients in radiography to knit and convinced some others to join Ravelry
- Got a pub tea
Yay! Giving knitting lessons.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your foot ... that was a silly thing to do!
Love your choice of yarn colours ... particularly the last shot.
The last shot were of a pair of boyo socks he loves this colour way and I am not allowed to make any sock for anyone else in it. I love this colour way too. boo hoo.
ReplyDeleteThe current socks on the needles are pinkie orange type yarn that I am making a never ending socks with. I thought I would be finished by now but I think the knitting on daughter MIA Jacket is getting in the way. She is off to Greece in four days I think I could be going down to the wire on this order. I thought I had another week..
