Second Verse

likely same as the first.

Normally, the first Tuesday of the month has a lovely Zoom get together sponsored out of Acorns & Threads (Portland). I attempted to participate two weeks ago, it didn’t go well. Neither head phones or cranking up the laptop volume proved a good solution. So am skipping this week.

And actually the same goes for the monthly Knit Group that meets at the Kensington Library. People are talking as they watch their knitting…… And, as Alison has so kindly put it – higher pitched voices are harder to hear. Especially for someone who already has a high frequency hearing loss.

So skipping all of that this evening. Instead, I will run a couple of errands, spend the night at the Eldests house as she is working night shift. One doesn’t leave almost two and 4 ½ to their own devices… And my wages get paid in hugs.

I head back to primary care tomorrow. Hopefully someone will have a good idea of where we go next….

(oh, and I added another 874 stitches to the full coverage piece. Now at 73%. I know it will be done before the end of Hanukah, just would like it finished sooner…

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
