Aimless Tangents

Light bulbs. Non-matching light bulbs to be exact.

While replacing the light bulb in the other fan in the bedroom (yes, there are two ceiling fans in our bedroom) I decided to replace the one burned out bulb in this fan. Hubs has now developed a tic because all 4 bulbs do not match.

I, of course, being very sensitive to the plight of my dear mate have walked around all evening shouting “Light bulbs!” at odd moments.

And I’ve gone back to my old autumn theme.  No point in having a big ol’ ladybug on your page when the mornings are getting a bit nippy and you seriously think you should did out your jacket.

Tomorrow I’m going to try to finish making my swift so I can wind my yarn into cakes so that I can then begin work on my wrap.  With everything else going on healthwise who knows when it will actually get finished.

I ordered 4 skeins of Lorna’s in Bittersweet.  I intend for it to become a clapotis to remember my miscarriage.  I’m going to have trouble working on the project; but it shall be finished and I shall have something to remember my unborn child by.

Sophie, yet again caught mid yawn.

The kitchen remodel is mostly done.  Everything left is finishing touches.  Caulk, molding, painting, lightswitch covers, and curtains.  No longer on the curtains.  I finished them tonight.  Behold my craftiness!  (And cheapness!)

What you see here is two cloth napkins from Target, folded over and sewn across to make a rod pocket.  I could never find the right curtains to fit the window and never found a “decorator” fabric that went well with the kitchen.  Red is the accent color through the public areas of the whole house, to try for some level of cohesiveness.

I hate blocking the entire window off, cause that part of the kitchen can get so dark.  The half window cover is great.  Just ignore how dirty the windows are…the flash shows off more than I realized.

Also, more Cinna kitten cuteness:

Do they have bag-hab?

Who could refuse the offer of help to play World of Warcraft?

The Hubs and I have both taken leave of our senses.  I adopted a kitten today.  The theory is that Sophie (2 yrs old) needs something to keep her occupied during the day when we are working.

Meet Cinnabar, who gets called Cinna.

3 weeks ago I was rearended. Saturday I knit a dishcloth. Sunday began several days worth of truly horrid shoulder pain that finally sent me to the doctor yesterday.

One trigger shot later (right in the offending muscle. Which felt soooo good /sarcasm) my arm, neck, and shoulders are feeling much better.

Needless to say, even though I will, I’m not supposed to knit much if at all so those muscles can fully heal. Which sucks cause I’ve got tons of yarn to play with.

Insult to injury…my garden is dying. Fah!

I may have just made it so I can update the blog from my phone, woo!

Annoying:  when realization that you are allergic to your shampoo hits…after you’ve already washed your hair.

This little guy held still quite a while yesterday, and even let me get fairly close. I took several different pictures of him, this is one of the better ones if I may say so. He had a friend with him that wouldn’t sit still long enough to get in the picture. I love having a backyard fish pond!
