Blather, Knitting and a Contest

You know the pool I told you about, the little one that keeps us cool in the heat of the day? This is a picutre of it without us in it, of course, because it has been cloudy and rainy for most of the weekend. As you can plainly see, once we are in there on the little floaties, there is not much movement unless we knock each other off the floaties. (And I love to do that, as long as all books are out of the way!) The only benefit of all the rain is that I did not have to water the garden, and I was able to get tomato cages on the poor plants that were beat up the other night in the hailstorm.

We went and got massages on Saturday, mine was purely therapeutic, lolol. The masseuse worked on my arm for a good portion of the hour, and then at the end she said it was time to go to the doctor and quit whimping out. I have finally agreed and will make an appointment first think Monday morning (and refuse to change it again). But I have started sleeping in the braces I have had for a zillion years and hate.

And finally, here is a picture of the endless baby blanket. Its not really endless, but working a few rows at a time make it seem that way. Contest

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Life goes on. . .

I have been getting great suggestions for my blog, most of them having to do with pictures, so I guess I will have to play search and find with my camera so I can start offering more pictures. Of course, it won’t be this post, but the next one, because I am not sure if I can find my camera, it may be packed with all of my household goods.

We are still living in a hotel; we probably will be for another 6 weeks. The cats and dogs don’t mind it, but it is wearing thin in my opinion. So far we have looked at 67 houses within a 30-mile radius of my new job, (we did not take an advance house-hunting trip) and we are scheduled to look at 4 more tomorrow. I found a house with a pool that I like, but now that it is within reach, I am not sure if I want to make the effort to clean and care for a pool. Just shows that you don’t always know what you want until you have it handed to you and then have to take care of it :-)What do those of you who have pools think, should I get the house with a pool?

I have started my job, and everyone is having a hard time adjusting to the altitude, I am so tired at night, that I just look at the knitting sitting next to me and close my eyes. Maybe Saturday I will take it out to the pool and enjoy the non-humid sunshine.
