Day of rest
Achy heads and dull sinuses plus out-of-whack backs kept us home today, trying to remedy our ailments with non-pharmaceutical treatments. For myself, I have been trying not to rely on pain relievers at every turn, so when I woke with a stiff, crick-feeling neck, I heated up my little wheat-filled pillow thing and settled it on my shoulders and neck. Aaahhh... yes, that's the ticket! Not as fast-acting, perhaps, as ibuprofen or Tylenol, but also not as hard on the body or tummy. Don't get me wrong - I am not swearing those off entirely, but just felt it was not so bad that I needed to resort to them, either.
So, we didn't go to church. Instead, I knitted on the second hat while watching dvds, and Doug watched bowling-tips videos on the computer.
The second hat is done! But it's, um, a bit big... in fact, nearly ginormous. Just at the brim edge, so I think I can fix it by threading some elastic thread around to draw it in a bit while still allowing ease for various head sizes. I did take photos of the Fiber Frisbee hat on Cynthia, but I will wait to post those till I have the Generic (and Ginormous) Ribbed Hat photographed as well. They're supposed to be sent off tomorrow, so I will be busy getting them ready to go out.
Speaking of tomorrow, my little great-nephew Mason will be TWO YEARS OLD already! And next Sunday his little cousin, my great-niece Lucy, will also be TWO YEARS OLD already!! My goodness, time flies! We love seeing pictures of them whenever possible, so parents, grandparents and other family members - if you are reading this, send me some cuteness, pretty please.
