I have been so sick. I was actually going to get up early this morning and go to the walk-in clinic the moment they open the doors to have them check out my lungs. If I go early I can avoid waiting in a crowded room full of other sick people and crying children for HOURS in very uncomfortable chairs.
I've been putting off going because It seemed like I was getting better but I started to feel like when I have an asthma flare up situation which can get bad. I don't have that all the time. I have allergy induced asthma but most of the time I have no problem. I just don't think there's an allergen now but maybe just inflamation. Sunday will be 2 weeks from when I got sick and it's been *rough*. Everyone here got sick but I got it a lot worse. Other people stayed home from work a few days and then went back to work but it seems like a lot of people had a round 2 and had to take a few more days off before they were 100% better. I think that's what happened but I had a very short period of feeling better - less than a day - and then started feeling bad again - twice. Anyway, I woke up this morning feeling much improved so I took some more meds and went back to bed instead of going to the doctor. I no longer sound like a 98 year old chronic smoker who started smoking at age 8.
This past week I did make a few things. I have this ball of pink baby yarn that I've been trying to use up and I finally remembered what the yarn is. It is
Bernat Baby Coordinates in Baby Pink. That is what I made the
baby converse sneakers in. This is left over from a baby blanket I made for someone a long time ago. So I'm trying to use that up. I made this baby dress that was in my Q. The flower is made with
Caron Simply Soft Party in Snow Sparkle (same as the shoes). That pattern also had a diaper cover and booties but I didn't like them. I feel like the diaper cover wouldn't stay on/up and I already made shoes. I decided it would be cute if she had some little leg warmers. I found a ball of white
Bernat Baby sport in my stash that was left over from another project. I used up that whole ball to make two pair of the leg warmers. The pattern doesn't say how long to make them so the first pair are way too long - maybe as long as the whole baby lol She's pretty small. I made a small pair to go with the little dress. I'm thinking the dress could be worn over a solid onsie so the butt would be covered. Then I made a Bunny Lovey to match the blanket I knit in the Loops & Threads Soft Ombre yarn. I am trying to fill up a small flat rate priority box so I keep looking for something else to make for it. Last night I remembered that she likes angels so I made this angel out of a small ball of left over who-knows-what baby yarn. I think this is a nice little starter kit and I'm probably going to be making a lot more baby things.
I am rooting for a good week next week. I have a lot of things to do and books to read!
