Pop! Pop! Pop!

(Almost got 2 o's in that title, that would have given SUCH a different meaning... Eeek!) 😆

So, I don't get a great amount of comments on my blog.  I appreciate the ones that I do get, but still, I wondered if something was blocking folks...  And, Retired Knitter emailed me...

Turns out, the embedded bit for comments was blocking her.  Odd.  So, I tried to change it to Pop Up version. 

I picked the wrong time to change anything on my blog.  I have to remember, any body and fender work HAS to be done when our internet works...  So, I thought I had changed it, but no.  Sigh.

Today, since I have good internet, I decided to check if I could change it.  YES!  Success! 

So, I was also asked if I could get a email delivery of my blog.  Sure!  Uh.  As soon as I figure out how...  Tech support?  Help??  Cough.. 

But wait!  She goes into the depths of the stylistic stuff and nonce to make the blog... Dig here... No...  Is that... No...  What about... Is this it?  Well, boys and girls, I think that I found the send it by email thing, now at the left side, if I did it right...

I find that I have this habit of just rambling through things like this, while others I know, could have the blog up and have little blinking arrows pointing to the various important parts.

But, hey, I get there.  Just takes a bit longer. 

So, hopefully, if you've not been able to leave a note on my blog, now you can... And maybe get email, too... (Let me know if you do on the email, I still am not sure I did it right... Please??  Thanks!)

Almost finished! And good chair...

So my blog of Jan. 28, where I said I was going to knit up my Doctor Who scarf.  As of a tiny bit before 7 pm today, I have finished the knitting.  Now to weave in ends, and make tassels. Then I will have a fully-functioning scarf!  I am sort of looking forward to showing it to a friend of mine, who is an even more geekity Who follower than I am...

And the chairs of Feb. 5?  I must not have been the only one displeased with the things.  There was, like my plan, a chair from the conference area.  It worked, no leg cramps, and no upset deputies.  I think we have a winner!  (I feel like putting a sticker with Volunteer Use Only, or something on it, so we don't lose the silly thing!)

Not a great lot otherwise, this week to blog about, let's face it, knit across, slip one stitch, knit across, repeat until next color, repeat again, isn't screamingly fascinating to read about.  But once I get it complete, I will see if I can get a photo up.

The animals are enjoying a rare sun break here at the moment.  See if I can get some pictures of them, as well...

I have (sigh) 4 roosters now.  Mon Ami, and an almost white one I call Blanc.  Technically Noir et Blanc, but Blanc is quicker.  I have two more I want to name, one is really lovely, with red wings, and is loud and boisterous.  The other is more his shadow.  I will have to see what some of those sound like in French.  I suppose it is silly, but they are French birds, so I am sticking with french names.  Guess it gives me something to learn, as I know zip in the French department...  (I am also tempted to call the red winged one 2 a.m., because, I found out, he crows at that time!)  

Also, I have been trying to say hi on some of your blogs, but I am still not getting the phone to cooperate.😒   I will see about saying hello on the computer more often...

Time. Zoooooom, there it goes!

I thought it had been about 4 days since my last blog.  Ahem.

Not.

So, Just to let you know that I am among the land of the living...  Yon update on Le Doings.

I read all the comments.  Then tried to use my computer, which promptly committed some random blast of poo, rendering it useless for such things as GOING ONLINE.  (I am writing this at the cop shop, and Husband has said that I can use his computer when he's out in his shop.  And since he has a big order from the company he works for, I should be able to get some computer time...)  I still get emails.  That is something, I guess.  I just can't convince the computer that google.com is NOT a virus.  I have narrowed it down to my Norton program, I think, so with any luck, I hopefully shall get some sort of solution after running a restart.

Again...

I want to say that on the comments, La Shaune, your comment that there should be a knitting bag in the shape of a Tardis has given me an idea, which I hope to work on soon, and will post in the (hopefully) near future. 

Sharon, you should email me and I would see what I could do about the bag... If you don't mind a wait. :)

messymimi and Danielle, the even more annoying part, I exercised all week, and he didn't! Bah!!

Rain and Dreaming, this is the first time I have ever had dealings with a GPS, it was beginning to make me wonder what the fuss was about.  But in the city, it was a huge help, especially when I missed a turnoff...

bon bon, yes, I have found that knitting and sci-fi seem to go together.  Guess it's all that string theory, heh heh heh...

So, I have been helping at the Ren Faire site, cutting grass and weeding, putting off my garden, where I would be... cutting grass and weeding.  Life can be interesting that way, sometimes. 

My llamas... Have been very friendly with one another, all except Llama.  She just walks away from the fray, grunts, and just watches the antics.  If I don't get a cria* out of this, it won't be for lack of (Lorenzo's) trying! 

I have now had cucumbers, a few zucchinis, and 2 crookneck squash from my garden.

I have had a few tomatoes, but every one of them so far have been cracked because of all the rain we have had.  I keep thinking we could trade, give a few days of rain to some of the other states that are roasting, and they could give us about a 5 or ten degree up in temp to help with growing.  Right now, we are having weather more suited to April in this area, then August.  One bright spot, the fire danger is relatively low...

I was watching a movie, just getting into it, and our lovely digital programming got me, the signal went out.  (Insert various non-lady like words here).  I had a little bit of time before I went to the cop shop today, and went to the library.  I remembered they had videos.  I started snooping, and TA DA!  The movie that I had been watching was there.  I snapped it up, and most likely will watch it tonight or tomorrow.  Hey, I have the card, might as well use it, right? 

I was reading that if you just do the same exercising, that your body can adjust to it, and you don't lose weight as quickly.  So I have added a daily set of sit ups.  I started at 100, and am now up to 300.  It seems to take forever.  But this week I lost about 1 1/2 pounds.  So we shall see.  I keep trying to figure out how to add push ups, but so far my knee won't cooperate.  (I have no kneecap on one side, so pressing on it for long periods doesn't work.)  I might a "knee pillow" of some sort, and start with like, oh, 10 push ups, see if I go into paroxysms of agony, if not, increase.  It's one of those things that I just have to go slow.

And I am up to the 8th handwritten page on my book.  It's a start!  Few hundred to go...
Heh.

Wishing all my readers GOOD computer time,
Cat

* cria is the term for a baby llama.
