Dec. 18th, 2010 03:28 pmI'm running on 3 hours' broken sleep, so this is likely to be scattered, but I haven't updated in a while, so bear with me.
Grandma is still in the hospital, and still waiting for test results. At least, neither she nor Mom said anything about that when I talked to them a little while ago. (I did interrupt their card game though, and they may have just had more important things to think about.) Grandma's doctor has had her in some physical therapy, trying to build up her strength so she can walk to the bathroom, and up and down the hall, but that could just be part of the "you've been in the hospital almost 2 weeks and Medicare's getting cranky" thing.
I haven't heard any more about the possibility of Grandma going to a nursing home, but the past few times I've talked to Mom, Grandma's been in the room. We'll just have to wait and see, there.
The Bug has been refusing to nap or sleep or stay in his crib, which has been for stressful days and sleepless nights for me. Short of tying him into his bed, I don't know what to do. Mom says he'll outgrow it in a few months, but that doesn't do me any good now.
He's also been climbing everything but the walls. I've had to take away the kid-sized rocking chair, the little denim-covered chair, and their toy basket--basically, anything The Bug uses as step stool, I take away. Which does me no good in the pantry (he climbs the kitchen chairs), but keeps him out of the book cases and off the tv and buffet.
The packages from By's folks are all here--books for me and By, and toys for the kids. Hey, a bunch of it arrived without wrappings. The last package had a wonderful wooden bed for The Miss's dolls, complete with matching sheets and pillowcase in eyelet lace.
The Sock Report: Have mostly finished the other pair of Nephew Socks (heavy weight slipper socks in washable acrylic), and am having trouble making myself work on them. Hate using those big needles.
The first of the Sekrit Socks v3 is mostly done, and the yarn for the second wound into a ball. Am hoping I've got enough yarn to finish these--I'm using two skeins of the Formerly Terribly Turquise Yarn, and that's all I did in that shade. Wish me luck.
I still need to make, by Christmas: a hat for my sister, a hat for her oldest boy, hat and slipper socks for her fiance, and some socks for The Bug. And finish the two projects above, of course.
