1. I had to frog* a wrap I have been knitting. I made it too large, and wouldn't have enough yarn to make it work. Plus, I didn't care for the pattern I made.
Why is this a thankful?
I figured out this before I finished and had to pull it ALL out. I figured out the pattern would be good for a scarf, rather than the wrap (you can see the pattern better). And, I started a different pattern that I think will work much better.
2. Heard from a friend, hadn't heard from for a bit, she's doing well (as is her cat, who is an adopted rescue).
3. Just by chance, I turned on the TV, and a movie I had heard of for years (literally, it's a movie from the 70's), was on. I wanted to see it, sat down and watched. Not bad!!
4. Husband is getting quite good at cooking. I am gone during the day, and he took it upon himself to make dinner for me, since I am doing all the "stuff" at my parents.
5. I am getting somewhat more comfortable in my caregiver role... In fact, I had to put down that I am the caregiver, to go in and help at a doctor's appointment.
6. Which was for Dad. He had a large lump, needed to know what it was. Turns out it's a cyst, that got a bit grumpy. So, nothing serious.
7. I made the nurse crack up. They were say if it remains a problem, he could have it excised. I was being silly, and said, oh, we can have an exorcism right in the office! She nearly dropped her notes!
8. Re-jiggering my schedule, so I go to help Mom and Dad in the morning and mid afternoon, but I have time at home, or for tasks in town, during the day. It still has some bugs in it, but we're working it out.
9. The weather is good, so if I can get myself out there, I'll have garden beds to do...
10. Because Husband managed to get the grass around the beds mowed. It was either that, or rent sheep!!
* Frog. That is where you take the knitting and rip-it, rip-it!
So, have yourself a great week, and stay thankful!
