How to Waste a Monday

[anogete]

I felt like shit this morning, so I called in sick to work. This means tomorrow will royally suck because I will have to catch up on my work from Friday and Monday. It makes me tired just thinking about it. My fever is goneI, though I'm still hacking up my left lung every few minutes. If someone could figure out a way to spoon the mucus out of my throat, I'd be really grateful.

I finished the majority of the sweater I've been knitting. I shaped the upper back this weekend and started on the shaping of the upper front today when I couldn't sleep. The picture below is of the cables that run down both sides of the sweater. I've already put it on, but it just falls off me without the shoulders. I may have knitted it a size too large, but that might work to my advantage. It will be a nice, comfy sweater I can throw on and lounge around in.

I'm so sorry you aren't well, and having to catch up at work really does suck.

The knitting is beautiful, the cable looks terrific, thanks for posting pictures of it.

Nice job so far! That looks so warm (she says as she shivers in her room, wishing she had a plush robe to throw on)!

And at least the fever has broken. Drink lots of honey tea and hopefully things will improve. Be well.

i'm very jealous of your knitting skills! the sweater looks gorgeous. my grandmother is a knitting crazy woman and i tried to get into it when i was younger, but i never managed to catch on as much as i had hoped.

it's a neat skill / hobby to have! just thought i'd let you know :)

Thank you! You should try knitting again. It was a bit difficult for me at first, but after I got the hang of it, I did pretty well. It's just a matter of teaching yourself a little bit at a time so you don't get overwhelmed.
