Back To Bed

Hubby and I have caught a cold.... it's hard to avoid in this lack of humidity. Mine is affecting my balance and Hubby is just having a hard time breathing. Hubby stayed home from school yesterday and I took the kids to school.... I drove our truck when I probably shouldn't have because when I went out through the door yesterday morning the snow was deep and I could barely walk through it with out sidling around as though I was drunk. The curious thing is that I can't walk a straight line but when I sit I'm ok. Anyway, I drove the kids to school without mishap... that's what counts.

When I got home I pulled my old bear routine and went back to bed. It was actually quite nice to be there. I read for a while and I slept for a while and when i woke up I felt better... at least a little bit. Having a sinus infection after falling on your face and smashing your nose doesn't really feel nice!

The whole day was like that. Mostly peaceful with snow falling quietly and the animals poking about in the snow. the afternoon cleared away and we had beautiful sun all afternoon. The temperatures are dipping after the last few weeks of mild weather and the damn snow melting so that the snowmobiling Rangers couldn't go through the most beautiful area on the trail. Murphy's Law! It's all rather beastly, especially those in charge of 4CRPG. But I'm done with that and have had a weary time fronting calls of disappointed people in town. They're gone (4CRPG) and I hope they stay gone... permanently!

It was back to spinning last evening for homework. My goal was to give a light fibre drape. So I chose a lovely caramel merino as my light fibre and gave it drape with Tussah silk which is a lovely champaigne colour. The resulting yarn is gorgeous. I am doing a second sample of this fibre as my first has issues with grist. I have to get the grist right before I am satisfied. I have just combed the merino and loaded the hackles with merino and silk. I will attend to the sliver in a few minutes and then I will spin. But before I do I am headed back to bed.

This is the time for Old Bear to be coming out of hibernation however, this year Old Bear didn't get to hibernate in January with homework and Hubby's back and all, so Old Bear is semi-hibernating this year with morning sleep-ins. It is quite nice actually. As I look out the window waiting for lambing season to begin, there are some lovely snow flakes falling, (just a few), and everything is covered in a blanket of lovely white. This is the picture card from Hallmark. Very peaceful.... and thank heavens for that. Perfect for a sleep in.

So off I go.....back to bed!
