The status is still quo

Still jobless. Still pain in the hands. However . . .

Happy 09/09/09, everyone!

No change on the status quo

Still without a job. Still battling pains in the hands. But I did find an interesting sweater for the scientifically inclined . . .

No drugs, no crafting

I was laid off last Friday. No job means no insurance means no drugs means no crafting until further notice.

A quick update since I have been notoriously absent

My doctor has taken me off my medications because they are interfering with my liver. I've been off the one since September and the other since November. Needless to say, the psoriasis is back with a vengeance and the arthritis has decided to settle in my hands - which is good since it isn't anywhere else in my body, but it's bad because, well, it's in my hands. I can't do much of anything with these iffy hands. Today is actually a good day. I can turn the doorknob without help and I can type - hence this post. But what I would really like to do is knit and I just don't think my hands would put up with that. Oh, well. Life goes on. I'm just trailing a little behind it right now.

!! Happy New Year !!

May the best thing that happened to you in 2008 be the worst thing that happens to you in 2009.

Illogical

Another one for the "Now I've seen everything" annals . . . Spock ears!

Argosy guarded by Horus and inspected by Bear

I haven't worked much on the Argosy scarf from knitty.com. I've been tracking time and I've only spent 4.25 hours total on it. I have almost eleven repeats of Section 2.

I tried to take indoor update photos, but, as always, Horus had to sit guard over the item and this time Bear had to come inspect it as well. Horus is very firmly sitting in place, but you can just barely make out Bear sneaking up on the ball of yarn just in case it is EVIL and willing to attack an unsuspecting cat.



I took an "unposed" snap of the scarf being held in front of my bedroom door as I was taking it back to safety. This one doesn't have any cats in it but it does show up the color mix.
