Dec. 21st, 2010 03:08 pmNot much news today. Grandma's doctors came back finally and said that he can't find anything in her test results to explain the abdominal pain, so he's still working on that *shrug* Also still trying to find a dosage schedule of insulin and meds that actually works for her. Her lungs are clearing, so that's something.
Kept the kids up past their usual naptime, because they were running hard, and I wanted them to crash this afternoon so I could have some peace. It seems to have worked thus far. Yay!
Have made decent strides in my gift knitting/crocheting this week. The finished and waiting to be wrapped list, from the past six weeks:
* crocheted beret for Sis (made 2 actually, and she can pick the fit she likes)
* hat and slipper socks for nephew #2
* slipper socks for nephew #1
* cabled socks for mother-in-law
* cabled socks for father-in-law
* Sooper Sekrit Socks
* Sekrit Socks #2, which have already been gifted, because their person had cold feet and I'm a softy (but the cuffs still need buttons)
* crocheted cross bookmark for Grandma, to go with the new Bible Mom got her
* similar bookmark for Mom, because I don't dare make Grandma something small and lace without doing one for her too
Holiday knitting still in progress:
* Sekrit Socks v3 --first sock done to toes (ran out of yarn), second sock done halfway through leg; will switch colors at toes to stretch that yarn
* hat for nephew #1 -- about 1/3 done
* slipper socks for Sis's boyfriend (which are HUGE!)--1 finished, second nearly done with leg
Not yet started, and may not get done:
* hat for Sis's boyfriend
* socks for The Bug (who has hand-me-downs from The Miss, in colors that suit his manly dignity)
I will admit, about half of the stuff on the "finished" list still needs ends woven in, and one set still needs buttons sewn on. But that's an evening's work, total, once it's all done.
I really want to put all of it down and do something else. Which is mostly just a bad case of project ADHD. On the bright side, every project on this list has used up at least one skein of yarn. The socks for Sis's boyfriend have will probably use up 2 full skeins plus three partial balls. Yay, d-stashing!
