Frog pond

I stayed home from work today with a migraine. Sleep didn’t seem to help too much, I think it’s past that point.

Also, the fishes didn’t make it. Here’s the last pictures of them pre-frog:

Pre Frog

The colors are WAY off here, but whatever

They were too big. And the pattern sucked. I’m kinda mad I paid for this nonsense. Whatever. I’ll make it better later. After my head gives in.

26 hours

Yep. That’s how long I’ve made it without sleep. I think I should maybe go to bed now. But, I’ve accomplished a lot on that last sleepless day.

I knitted another set of ornament mittens (my last commissioned one, YAY!):

Mittens!

And then I re-started and got going on my fishes mittens:

Fishes!

Woo hoo!

Lazy Day

Slept in again today. Kevin & I went and had lunch with Kyla and Fetti. It was an excellent time. I had a burger that was super yum.

Came back, and took a 5 hour nap. Oops. My sleep schedule will be way off tonight and tomorrow now.

Woke up and played Mario Galaxy – which I’m really not great at. But, I’m getting a little better.

I started the fishes mittens, but my gauge is off, and I hate 1×1 rib, so I’m going to rip back and go down a needle. Here it is now, pre frog:

1x1 Rib

I think I’ll make it 2×2 rib since I’m frogging anyway.

Scout has been out of the crate all day. She got to sleep out last night, and today I decided the 2 hour lunch was a good test. She did great and I was just starting to think I’d let her out tomorrow when I ran errands too, but then she snuck away while Kevin and I played Mario and went in the spot she had the 1st accident. We have to work on her sitting by the door. I wouldn’t have been as mad if she hadn’t just gone out like 30 minutes before that. All in time I guess. We’ll try again tomorrow.

They’re ready to go for the swap tomorrow!

Toys & Knittings

Paisley got a new toy in the mail the other day, and today she got it for being a good girl. She was very excited to sink her teeth into it:

New toy!

Favorite.

And I also finished the mittens for the exchange tomorrow:

Finished mittens!

I know I haven’t been typing much really lately. Things have been okay, but stressful. My shoulder has been acting up a lot the last few weeks, and I’ve been pretty crabby because of that. I’m hoping that this week will be better. As of right now, my shoulder just really hurts. But, at least I can breathe?
