One Step At A Time: Escape From The Hermitage

Technorati Tags: Knitting,General,Friends,Back Pain

Today was a pretty good day all in all. Got to sleep in without Jas causing too much of a mess, fed my Dad’s dog, got some cleaning done…and visited with my friend Jen. My “other” Mom was up for the weekend, so when I saw her car and everyone else’s I had to pop in. It was a real good visit, and the running joke was that the hermit had left her cave. Yes I’m a wee bit of a hermit. No pictures as it was a spur of the moment trip – just happened to drive by.

A picture of Jen from back when we all went swimming. One of the few friends who understands and goes with my inner hermit.

I did manage to take some fall pictures, but that will have to wait until tomorrow as when I went to feed Dad’s dog her evening meal, I threw out half of my back. So I’m in a fair bit of pain as one can expect. Its not totally out, I can still move around, but it put a damper on the rest of my evening. Ended up kicking back and using Dad’s tv for a bit waiting for the pain meds to kick in.

I’ve also started a new knitting project…well, more of a continuation of my last one. I’m making baby blankets for my nieces and nephews, only out of squares of yarn. If all goes well, I might make some larger ones. This is mostly just to practice my knitting, and actually create something of value with it. I do most of my knitting right before bed, as its so soothing I want to fall asleep over it (and have a couple of times). And its a really good way to remember my Nana who taught me how to knit along with my Mother.
