Back In The Game

Here I am, two days off the cruise from hell.
Friday, I just toyed around with my yarn, for a little bit, in the evening. Most of the day was spent, getting used to being home. Home, sweet home. Home, where the beer is free, and falls don't happen.
Yesterday...
I woke up, at 5:30 in the morning. My dog was zooming around the room, in what I refer to ( Read more... )

They're Wrong...Just Plain Wrong!

Last night, after tinkering around with my yarn, and hook, for a little bit, I went, and took a nice, relaxing bath. I pulled out all the stops. Candles. Bubbles. Epsom salt. A hot wash cloth, to rest on my forehead. And, a margarita (complete with salt on the rim, of the glass.) After the cruise (which turned out to be far from the fun, I had ( Read more... )

Going At It, Today...

Not too long ago, I wrote that I was sure to become a shoe whore. I have convinced myself (quite easily, in fact), that this is not such a bad thing. In fact, in my opinion, it is to be expected. I mean, I have, for as long as I can remember, been exiled, to the land of cheap, generic footwear. Before my surgery, I cannot remember owning a pair of ( Read more... )

So, yesterday...
When I sat down, at my computer, to write, I was beyond depressed. A whole friggin bottle of Zoloft would not have been able to remove the funk, that I had slipped into.

Why All The Destruction?

Yesterday...
All started off, quite well, on the yarn front.
Ok, ok...that may be an exaggeration. To be truthful, all started off, good (albeit slow), on the yarn front. I had breakfast (junkie cereal, all the way baby...yeah, talk about sugar high!) I made my bed (because, well...a nice bed deserves to be made.) I pulled out my craft bag, and ( Read more... )

The Neverending Row

Yesterday was, I am happy to say, tendonitis free. My wrists did not give me one single ounce of trouble. No tingling. No numbness. NOTHING! THANK GOD!!! Apart from the time that I lose, when tendonitis kicks in, there is also that HORRIBLE pain factor. And, to be honest, I don't think I would be capable of dealing with the pains of tendonitis, two ( Read more... )

Anything To Keep Me Away!

theyarnproject Sep 08, 2010 09:10

Yesterday...
It was the PERFECT day, to crochet. It never reached a temperature, higher than the low 80s. And, for a good part of the day, I was home, alone. There was no interruption. No conversations being held, in dramatically elevated voices, all around me. No scoffing, or lauging, at The Yarn Project, and what a 'silly' little thing, it ( Read more... )

My Name Is Michael. I Have A Problem.

Yesterday started off, perfectly.
I awoke, to the sound of water, trickling in the pond, outside my bedroom window. I peeled myself off my bed, despite wanting to stay in it, all day long. I came to the living room, had a cup of coffee, and watched some morning TV. After finishing my coffee (and reaching the end of my sitcom...oh, you just got to ( Read more... )

First things first...
I wish that my foot would stop hurting. It has been days (which seems an eterity). My foot has been acting up...going on with twitch fits, burning...the wound is delivering more pain than I can tolerate. And, on top of all the pain, I am pissed off.

Okay...I admit it. I am, at times, a COMPLETE ASS!
Sure, for the most part (or so I would like to think), I am a very cool, nice person. I joke around. I laugh.
But then, there are those moments...Something happens, big or small. And, it sets off this switch, in me. Nice Michael disappears completely, and MANIAC MICHAEL comes out, to wreak havoc.
