Tuesday, humpday

Ordinarily, Wednesday is hump day. The day that sits squarely in the middle of the week, dragging, and sitting obstinately between you and the weekend. Typically, the longest day of the week. After Monday of course.

This being a short week, Tuesday is now humpday. And I feel a cold coming on. I’ve been sniffling all day, and my brain is about two steps behind.

Today was my first appointment with the osteopath recommended by Mary-Helen, and she was great. I recounted my litany of complaints, and she confidently told me that she had seen worse train wrecks, and that she would be able to help.

Apparently, most people who feel pain get something done about it within 2 years. The fact that I have been suffering with pain for such a long time has done some damage, and it will take some doing to fix things, but I can be fixed, and I should be able to live without pain eventually. It was pretty emotional for me, and I felt that a good dinner was in order. I wandered up to Wagamama (in some pain, but that is to be expected), and had a lovely meal. Vegan too – unless you count the wine.

Catching the train there and back gave me some long missed knitting time, and I am within 10 repeats of finishing the main body of the Melon Shawl. Hopefully I’ll be able to pick up some more yarn on sat at R+L (any idea how much yarn I’ll need for the border compared to the body?), and the right needles for the border. With even more luck, I’ll be ready to start the border on sat, while there are plenty of gurus there to help out if I get stuck.

Speaking of gurus, Sally has just started a blog, Pom Poms. Do pop over and welcome her to the wild world of blogging.

And lastly, many of us find therapy in our knitting (even those of us that are in pain if we knit too much), so it’s wonderful to see someone take the therapeutic aspect of knitting seriously. Check out Stitch Links for more information.

Have a great (short) week, I may miss a day due to tomorrow being my third wedding anniversary. Plans are afoot!
