The Clouds Part

September 24th, 2008 · 13 Comments

The last couple of days have been getting better and better. ¬†Its been like the clouds parting and the sun shining through. ¬†A few days ago, there was just glimmers of sun here and there. ¬†Today is nothing but sunshine! ¬†My headache is pretty much gone. ¬†There are still after images of sorts when it threatens, but worlds better than it has been. ¬†Sadly, a multiday headache is not something new for me. ¬†I’ve battled them since I hit my head in a car accident when I was 8. ¬†Again, I thank everyone for their commiseration, suggestion and support. ¬†It was much appreciated.

Moving along…Kat wore her new socks this morning. ¬†

Not sure what is up with the look on her face. ¬†I think she was confused as to why I was taking her picture in the car this morning. ¬†She doesn’t quite get the whole mommy blogging knitting thing yet. ¬†She will :)

And now for the regular update on T&C. ¬†I’ve finished 16 of 24 stitch increases on the first sleeve. ¬†Its progressing nicely and I should have the sleeve done before too much longer. ¬†Sorry for the crappy photo, but I took it quickly on the ferry this morning (which mind you was redirected to the World Financial Center since Pier 11-Wall Street was closed entirely. ¬†Some bullshit about the UN. ¬†I hear rumors that W was coming in and they closed the harbor. ¬†Give me another reason to hate the idiot. ¬†I got a nice long walk across the island. ¬†I couldn’t have gotten further from my office without going uptown on the freakin ferry!.. but I digress)

Finally, I’m so in love with my new bag. ¬†I ordered a Swift by Tom Bihn and it arrived on Monday. ¬†Here’s a shot of the outside (with iMac in the background ;)

I got the crimson/black in the ballistic nylon. ¬† I’ve got all my daily needs easily packed into this thing. ¬†The straps are long enough to sit comfortably on the shoulder over a coat, though I haven’t tried that yet. ¬†Even with all that’s packed into it, it doesn’t weigh a ton. ¬†Not exactly sure why. ¬†I had the same crap in my Lady B and it nearly dragged me down. ¬†With this I’m tempted to toss in a book or two.

Cool bag.

Not sure how much knitting I’ll get done tonight as I picked up the new Batman Lego videogame at lunch today. ¬†Mom and I have played the Star Wars and Indy versions and loved those so I have no doubt this will become a pretty big time suck for us.

Craft on!
