Must. Get. Control.

I must get control of life around here. Everywhere I look there is so much that needs to be done. Maybe I'll turn my back and go shopping instead? A trip to the LYS? Nah............gotta start slogging. Hopefully, by the end of the day there will be visible progress. Wish me luck!

Fragile

Feeling a little fragile these days. Now that the health scare is over, and the doctor has given me the "go ahead" and has lifted all restrictions, I remain incredibly nervous. I guess it is that old fear of mortality rearing its ugly head again. It is just like me to get through the crisis and then begin to fall apart at the seams. Happens every time. I feel like I'm dodging bullets.

So, I'm trying to harness the nervous energy into positive stuff--cleaning, knitting like a mad fool, counting my blessings. Deep breaths. It's ok.

What Were You Thinking??

Today was a scary one for me. At around noon, there was a tiny knock at my front door. I did not answer, because I did not know the person. It was a huge man with a rake over his shoulder, probably wanting yard work. But....no. He proceeded to look in my front and side windows, then headed for my backyard and garage. My son and I came downstairs, and by that time he had gone to the neighbor's to knock on their door. They didn't answer either, so he proceeded to make a long cell phone call to someone, and my son heard him mention "police." He then came back to the side of my house, sneaked toward my back door and knocked--very quietly--peering in the whole time. I called my neighbor, and then I called the police. He left quickly, and my neighbor followed him with his truck, pulled over 2 police officers, only to find out that one of them caught the guy. Who knows what he was up to? Seemed to me like he was looking for a place to rob. I shudder when I think what might have happened if my car weren't in the driveway, and my son and I weren't home. So, I have to go to bed now, not really knowing what happened to him. I'm hoping they arrested him for something and that we are safe. Think I'll be up until all hours doing laundry and cleaning. Nervous energy....

Someone Flipped A Switch

Someone flipped a switch and somehow I feel so much better! Finally, the pain has eased and only a little stiffness remains. What a blessing it is to be pain free!

I just finished sending off 9 RAKs to some folks in the RAK groups. All but two are surprises. What fun it is! I hope they bring a little joy...

Kitties are pestering for attention. Time to go! Happy New Year!
