Vehicles, Videos, and Knitting

So Hubby and I are thinking about a new vehicle. Our old truck is almost eight years old and has seen better days. I'm stuck home feeling sick with what might be H1N1 Flu and nothing to help me pass time in the way of TV. I want to knit my gloves but am needing a second set of DPNs and so I've been looking up patterns for baby thingies with some pretty fat yarn that I don't have a lot of. Never a dull moment at Nicholsville West Farm.

OK so lets back up.... Hubby and I started looking a vehicles last week and we took out a Ford Focus ZX5.... nice little zippy car but pricey for second hand. They haven't made these babies for a couple of years now and the one we looked at was fully loaded with only 40,000 km on it but the monthly payment would be about the same as a brand new Ford Focus. So x the one we were looking at. Then we took out a Jeep Compass.... nice but not fully loaded and Hubby and I need some serious lessons on driving a standard which I haven't done in twenty years. We will go looking again later in the month. We are in no rush so that is one good thing.

H1N1.... the thing that scares every person half to death.... for days I have been having chest pains and worrying myself half to death that I am on the verge of a heart attack... Along with it I have been having dizzy spells and so I went to see the Doc. I have an ear infection which is being treated but along with it I have been having inhuman fatigue. I can't get through the day with out feeling like my legs are made of jello and the only thing that soothes the chest pain is nice hot lemon and honey.
And on top of it all last night was the full moon..... the werewolf wore it ugly head... I slept all of 1 hour 45 minutes. So today after Hubby and the girls got off to school I turned off the phone and went back to bed. When I finally did get up, I just mugged out in front of the T.V.... Problem..... I have nothing to watch that I haven't already seen half a dozen times. Blah!! So I'm looking up video rental companies on line..... a friend tried out one and gave me the name of it.... I think I will give it a try.... stand by.... I'll let you all know how that goes.

I got 225 metres of fibre plied and washed and dried yesterday for my great jacket commission. Woo hoo!! It looks great. So today I wanted to knit while lying in bed.... this is not easy... you want something light weight and relaxing. Lace gloves that I started last week... ahh perfect..... wait no there's a problem.... I'm up to the finger part and don't have enough DPNs. Order from Knit Picks..... nope... credit card is maxed out..... d-mn! Ok.... plan B. Baby knitting. Booties.... yes that is what I want to make with the lovely pink and blue, and yellow fat yarn that I spun a couple of months ago..... so I am about to embark on a treasure hunt. I need a pattern for baby booties that I can make with nifty fat yarn.... hmmm!

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go....
