Where'd summer go -- oh yeah

It is still out there.  Frankly, I'm a bit detached from it.  In the weeks since I last posted an entry, it has been a time of change.

My MS medication has been working, but I am still heat-fragile.  My sense of balance is much better and my cognitive skills have seen a definite upswing.  Energy level is iffy, but things are not worsening.  Yay!

Beloved and I have moved downstairs so I can be cooler.  (Did I tell you that my balance was so bad that I was afraid of stairs there for a while?)  It has been a streak of compromise, but there have been advantages.

My mom was ill and had to be in a rehab facility for a few weeks.  She is home now and is back to her regular lifestyle.  A hint to the folks figuring out health care reform -- include counseling as part of anyone's health care.  Us relatives can only do so much....and since when does a lady of 86 years listen to her kids?

I've been doing some knitting and crocheting with an aim to increase my inventory for the Etsy shop.  I found a knitted beret pattern that uses sock weight yarn but I didn't like the way that the decrease for the crown looked, so am going to try to figure out something more attractive.

So overall things are good here -- apologies for not writing sooner.  Facebook has taken over some of my daily time lately (blush)

fiber, family, friends
