Just me...

This is me to a T.



I am so independent that it bothers people.

I am because I had to be.

If no-one was there to rely on for me how else was I to be?
It was survival as a child and a way of life now.
So it's a catch 22.
I have to be so I am but no-one likes it but they don't do for me so?
The smile is extra...
I smile when they try to change me without doing anything different for me.

Confused yet?

I'm not.

I am just me ya see?

Spring Snow...







   Up to 8” of slushy, sleety snow was dumped 
 on us yesterday. 
     North of us there is another foot or so but still a
           sloppy mix that's easy to maneuver through.

      

    It’s already melting and dripping like 
      rocks off every surface.
As I drove S to pick up his truck from the shop 
I thought my windshield would break as the snow bombs pelted us.



  I love it.
Seems the rest of the world is not happy about it but then they never are.
Can’t please everyone or even some it seems.
I am happy about it.
Within two months it will be miserable hot and nasty.
I say, 
"You can always put more clothes on in winter but can never take enough off in summer".

That's a visual you probably didn't need.

# 3 finite

      
 Third pair done, completed, finite... #1 DPN’s
              
 Still not tight by any stretch but will stay up.


                           
 Comfy yarn... Bad  nighttime pictures... Neat ribbings ....
Wool yarn rules...
                
 LN is home on spring break.
She came home 5 days after being diagnosed on the first day of break.
She wanted to remain at college and try to work through the excessive fatique during that last week.
She missed classes and slept in her dorm room mostly.
Her friends brought food and delivered her homework and helped with notes.
Her professors were very understanding and considerate.
   She is week 2 into her Mono recovery of 6-8 weeks.
     The joys of college life!
My healthy kid in the country has came down with everything imaginable these last 7 months.
She slept 16 hours straight the first night home.
That seemed to give her a boost.
She rallied to go choose some market lambs for this year tonight.
She hopes to go spring shopping before returning to campus Sunday.
A girl has to have priorities.
