Icky

Monday, October 08, 2007

For the last week I've been in pain. Like pain as if I'd been punched in the stomach. Or like I had *coughcrampscough*. It makes no sense. Today it got worse and it's annoying. All day I was in pain, and suddenly, nothing. I still feel cruddy, but the pain is magically gone. And whatever you're thinking it could be, trust me I have though of all the reasons, and not one is a possibility. Chad though suddenly felt bad today, so maybe it could be something we ate? Who knows.

Today was the last day of the school term and I failed two of my classes for sure. I feel crappy about it but with all the other stuff going on I am not coping well. I have every intention of doing better next time but I'm still a bit upset. I am not the type to take these things lightly and especially when I'm paying so much for it. It sucks. I did so well for the first year and a half. It's just been tough I guess.

To follow up my crappy mood/day/MONTH...

I was spinning earlier and it broke. Much cursing and whining followed. I got it reattached. 5 minutes later it broke again. More cursing and whining. No luck. I put the roving down before I got really mad. To feel better I cast on a sock. I love the simplicity of the Retro Rib in the Favorite Socks book so I cast that on. I got into the pattern repeat for the cuff and realized you couldn't really see the pattern. So I took it off the needles and started over with a lighter color. It think it's turning out well. Of course the following pictures aren't as good as in person. I promise it really looks better the second time around. The purple and green was the first try. I'm going to use that for regular ribbed socks since I think the tones would hide most patterns...

Wow, I had a day like that not too long ago. I had this urge to go through the house and break every pencil I could find. I don't know what that would have accomplished, but I was so frustrated it didn't need to make sense. :D You know, don't beat yourself up about the classes. I'm a mother of two as well, and hehe..I know what it's like trying to get ANYTHING done around them. Like right now, my daughter is chatting like crazy and making it really hard to think. I asked her once, "why do you talk so much!? Can't you be quiet for a little bit??." her reply..."cause that's what I do!!I talk..a Lot!" :D
