Tuesday

Here is where I was at this morning.  But looking at it while I waited to get my foot x-rayed, I decided that I wouldn’t be happy with the finished item unless I ripped it back and started again.  So I did.  Good thing I spent so long at the hospital today, I am back up to three pattern repeats.

And my foot is fixed.  Well, fixed enough to give up the boot.  No football for another 6 weeks, but I should be fine after that.

Bought a suit, for the increasingly likely NZ trip (Jussi, I don’t know what the itinerary is, but I’d love to catch up).  Also picked up a really cheap GPS – advertised for $299, got it for $290.  Which would be absolutely spiffing if the damn thing would talk to the satellites.  Works perfectly, but doesn’t seem to want to do the “P” part of “GPS”.  Pretty sure it isn’t a carbon unit error, Mark couldn’t make it behave either.

PS.  Today I passed another milestone in my knitting career – I ripped something back for purely cosmetic reasons.  A first for this goal oriented knitter.

PPS.  Bloody shoulder hurts again.  Asked the foot man “WTF”, he reckons disk injuries can wax and wane, but to be sure, best see the specialist again and get another MRI.  That’s $600 at least – and the outcome would be the same as before.  I can choose to have surgery, or wait for it to go away.  If only it wasn’t affecting my knitting, I’d cope better.
