Numb

Yesterday was not the day I expected. By the time I had read through all the emails and blogs that I had been out of touch with for the last ten days, it was lunch time. I didn't eat lunch, instead I headed upstairs for a shower and to get dressed. I made my bed and suddenly I was falling asleep... so... I fell asleep on my nice soft bed and stayed there for several hours at which time I had visitors. I had a shower while the Daughters got tea for my folks. We had a nice visit which is not always what happens but it was good yesterday. After they left I unpacked the stuff that was still littered all over the living room.  It was then that I discovered that somewhere between Olds and home I had lost all the stuff that I had bought in Olds! No Ramie. No Merino in blue or yellow. No fawn mohair in the grease. No orange mohair batt. No grey yak/bamboo/cashmere blend. No dye.... Procion or acid. No knitting needles. I'm really hoping that all of my stuff got taken out at my friend's house and left there. If not I don't know where it is. Never leave husbands to unload vehicles... it just screws things up.  I was so numb from all the driving that I never noticed when I got to the switch what was being taken out of the vehicle and loaded into mine and what was being brought into the house.

Speaking of numb.... meanwhile my two fingers...the pointer and the middle finger on my right hand (the one with no thumb) are numb. Like I mean seriously numb. Can't feel a thing. Too much knitting I'm thinking. But of course I need to keep knitting if I'm going to get that 150 hour project done. So I expect numbness in my hand is going to be the norm for the next while. then there's all that worsted spinning which also adds to the numbness in those two fingers... ow! : (

After all was said and done Teapot and I went for a lovely walk down through the bush. We headed down the trail that takes us to the highway and we had a lovely time as I told him some of the stories of Olds. It was during the porn star story of one of the instructors that we noticed blood on the tail in tablespoon quantities every few feet that was fresh for sure. Then Jiggs came bounding back to us and there on her paw was a pulsing-blood two inch gash. Hmmm... so we turned around and headed home. Teapot set out ahead of me since he can walk faster than I. By the time I got back to the house Teapot had things well in hand... Jiggs was cleaned up and he was in the process of bandaging the gash up. So now Jiggs is numb in the foreleg too.

Oh lovely the missing Olds purchases have been found. I just got an email from my friend to say that she had discovered that my purchases were among her stuff. All's well that ends well.

I'm kind of feeling a little numb this morning... like I'm trying to figure out just what happened to me. Over tired. Over tired. And over tired some more. Even though I slept 14 and a half hours the first night I was home and I slept 9 hours last night I just sort of feel numb.  There even seems to be a bit of brain numbness going on. I hope nobody tells me anything that I should remember because my brain feels like its just plain numb.

I wonder when I'll feel.... well... not numb. 24 hours? 36 hours? I hope not too long. Maybe I'll go back to bed. Perhaps when I wake up I won't feel numb.

Numbny numbny numbnynumbny num num. (to the tune of the lone ranger) Numb!
