So, it’s not bronchitis. It’s a sinus infection. Oh, and also two ear infections. I spent most of Thursday, all of Friday and all of Saturday on the couch knitting and blowing my nose and coughing. Good times.
I did manage to have a pleasant weekend in spite of the sickness. We had dinner with friends one night and dinner at home one night. We watched two movies. Michael Clayton – meh. And Waitress – woot. We played games by the fire. And we went for a Sunday drive. I didn’t take a single photo, though. I think I was too busy expending all my energy on coughing. And blowing my nose. And did I mention knitting?
The knitting is significant because all that knitting time allowed me to finish the Aspen Grove Shawl. I thought sure I’d finish on Friday but I didn’t. Then I thought sure I’d finish on Saturday. But I didn’t. I finally finished last night. Man alive, those rows are looooooong at the end! It’s done and ready for blocking.
And now I’m done and need to get ready for work. Have a great day.
Carol Said,
Hope you’re feeling better fast
It’s a shame we can’t block out colds, no? Can not wait to see your new Aspen Grove!
Lucia Said,
Same to you! I hope you feel better. I swear by half hot cider, half ginger tea.
margene Said,
I just started section 3 and it’s going to take me all week (or more) to finish it. I can feel the rows going on and on…easy knitting, however.
Don’t over do and take care of yourself!
Kim Said,
Oh dear….sinus infections are THE worst! I hope you feel better soon!
You are finished with your shawl? Woman you are a knitting machine!!!
gale (she shoots sheep shots) Said,
yuck, sinus infections and ears. Glad you’re feeling better. Agree with Lucia about ginger tea, I put half a lemon in each cup too.
Karen Said,
Yuck. I hate sinus infections. Hope you are better soon!
Chris Said,
Congrats on finishing Aspen Grove! You must feel sort of ok if you’re going to work?!
jessica~ Said,
Wow – double ear infection. Yikes!! Hope your recovery is a quick one!!
Ruth Said,
Any one of those ailments would have knocked me out. Hope you’re feeling better today.
Manise Said,
Feel better soon! Can’t wait to see Aspen Grove blocked and on you!
Hillary Said,
Sorry to hear that you were sick. At least you got a lot of knitting done. I loved Waitress too.
maryse Said,
oh no! is this what i have to look forward to? yikes!
glad you’re feeling better though. i’m home today. which isn’t a bad thing actually.
Cynthia Said,
I hope you feel better soon Carole; sinus infections are horrible and with two ear infections that would be really miserable – although finishing Aspen Grove may be a wee tiny solace! Congrats on that, can’t wait to see it!
Norma Said,
Wow, you got a lot done for being sick. When I’m that sick, knitting (especially lace!) would be the LAST thing on my mind. Sinus infections and ear infections make my head explode.
Leslie Said,
Oh, yuck! Hopefully you have some good drugs that will knock those infections out. Can’t wait to see the shawl.
Kellee Said,
Good lord, woman. Sinus infection and ear infections and you’re going into WORK? I hope that means you’re feeling better.
Deb Said,
Sorry for the sick, icky stuff. Congrats on your shawl though. Loved waitress and I also really enjoyed Michael Clayton. Interested to h ear why your so “meh” on it. Get mo betta!
Lisa Said,
Hope you are feeling better!! And congrats on the shawl – can’t wait to see it.
Marcia Cooke Said,
I’ve had one sinus infection and remember it vividly! Poor baby…I really do feel for you on that one. Glad you are feeling well enough to go back to work…sorry you HAD to go back to work! I loved “Waitress” by the way, haven’t seen the other one.
Beth Said,
I’ve heard that Waitress is good. I need to rent it soon. E and I watched No Reservations the other night. It was a bit sad, but it was still a good movie. I hope you feel better really soon!
Knitnana Said,
Oh my! I’m so sorry….what is it this year with sinus infections? And EARs, too??? (sigh)
However, you were productive and I can’t wait to see Aspen Grove!
(((hugs)))
Karen Said,
feel better soon!!!!
--Deb Said,
Oh, that sounds familiar. Feel better soon, Carole!
michaele Said,
Glad to hear it’s not bronchitis – hope you are feeling better soon. Haven’t seen Waitress, but I quite enjoyed Michael Clayton – what didn’t you like?
Ina Said,
Ugh, ugh, thrice ugh! At least infections are readily treated. Don’t over-do, finish your antibiotics, and feel better soon.
Dave Daniels Said,
That was the same re-diagnosis I had, that it was a sinus infection. Again. And they have me some soft of sulphur-based antibiotic. And I had a reaction to that. Ugh, nothing like being sick, and getting sicker. I hope you’re do MUCH better by now. And still knitting!
Martha Said,
Didn’t you already see Waitress? I could swear we talked about it at Spa. No? I almost got Michael Clayton on PPV this weekend but never managed to push the button on the remote. I must have been receiving subliminal telepathic signals from you!
Still on for tonight?
Sara Said,
Good thoughts headed your way! Can’t wait to see the completed Aspen Grove Shawl! So, Michael Calyton wasn’t so good. I haven’t seen it yet and was waiting til the library got it. I did reserve CLOSE TO HER with Julie Christie.
scoutj Said,
Oh my goodness. I hope you are feeling better!
scoutj Said,
Oh my goodness. I hope you are feeling better!
Cookie Said,
I’m another vote for ginger tea. That stuff cures everything. I am amazed that you were able to knit lace while as sick as you are. You are truly a wonder woman. I hope you start feeling better soon.
Mandy Said,
Get better fast. I also say woot to Waitress.
Beth S. Said,
And you’re still going to work?
Karen Said,
I hope you feel better!
Danielle Said,
Were you kissing Maryse again?
~Kristie Said,
You poor thing. I hope you start feeling better really soon. It must be difficult to try and work and keep any level of concentration when you’re dealing with those symptoms.
I also really liked Waitress. I wasn’t expecting much and was most pleasantly surprised.
Robin in VA Said,
Hope you feel better! What a wonderful weekend.
Kelly Said,
Sinus infections are no fun. Hope your feeling all better soon. Can’t wait to see the finished shawl!
lisa Said,
In some ways… don’t you hate getting sick on the weekends? Glad you’re feeling better.
Sylvia Said,
Best wishes! Remember to bundle up and keep those ears warm for a few weeks so the infection doesn’t return. Good use for a shawl!
Alarming Female Said,
you must have been a schoolteacher in a former life, being sick all weekend and back to work on Monday.
Sarah Said,
I hope you recover quickly. I hurt just thinking about it.
Debi Said,
I’m glad you’re feeling better hunny!
I haven’t seen Michael Clayton but I hated Waitress – I thought it was beyond stupid!
Emily Said,
Ew. Feel better soon!
Laurie Said,
I’m so sorry you were sick in multiple uncomfortable areas. Sounds like recovery is proceeding well.
BigAlice Said,
I’m sorry you were sick and I hope you’re feeling better.
