I can't hear well and I can't taste anything. I suppose now would be the time to enter a hot-wings competition...
That is all. Just feeling gross, and letting Rosina watch TV because I don't have the energy to pull out the play dough and paints. Blech. Maybe I'd feel better if I got dressed.

I guess I was pissed off...
Last night I was thinking about Hobby Lobby, and this was a quick search away:
You know you all needed this in your life. Madeline Kahn, you were the awesomest of the awesome. And seriously, when women's health is in the news, Madeline Kahn. :(
So everybody has that person in their life who thinks they are the first person in the world to ever go through a completely normal life event, right? I am dealing with this right now. I want to give this person the benefit of the doubt, but everything they do is getting SO ANNOYING to me, to a nearly irrational degree. Do I need to get a grip? Perhaps. Do they need to stop acting like they have discovered The New World, when there were already people living there? Hells yes.
My annoying work project will apparently be an ongoing one, but the initial frenzy is over, so my hours will be more normal for the time being. There have been a lot of changes in a very short time (our office has even moved, to a part of town that will make my commute, once resumed, about 15 minutes longer--not even counting the obscene morning traffic between here and there--but our old area was just not safe at night anymore, plus the new building apparently has a consistently-working HVAC, so that's nice), but I think they are all for the better. The person I used to work for/with was capricious and unpredictable--though he never had anything but good things to say about my work--and the new people are, well, normal? I should not be pleasantly surprised when people act consistently, and are actually friendly! Also, a few years ago one of them provided our office with the best brownie recipe EVER. I mean that. The secret ingredient: pistachios. One of these days, when I see a good deal on pistachios, I am going to make them, and will attempt to not eat all of them in one sitting. They were SO GOOD.

To sign off on a happy note, because we are all sick here (even Mark, who is the most helpless and annoying sick person ever, bless him) here's a blurry picture of Rosina in bunny ears. She thought it was hilarious when I pretended not to recognize her...

Go home, Winter; you're drunk
What's that? Somebody on the East Coast complaining about the interminable winter? Oh, how novel... I suppose we must really be done now, in this state at least, but even two days ago there was a possibility for snow. Jeez.
Right around the time of my last post I got a sample to knit, and it was more time-consuming than I'd assumed, even before a few minor issues came up. My wrists were killing me! While the body was blocking, I dashed off some chemo caps and some tawashi for a swap, then jumped right back in. As soon as I finished that I knit two pairs of socks during the Olympics (that seems so long ago!). Then I finished my Temperature Scarf and a Pinwheel Sweater for Rosina, all while dealing with a much heavier workload than normal (yay extra pay, boo extra hours spent Googling). Also, there has been some snow in the past two months.
At least she looks happy about it...
Anyway. So things are okay here--ups and downs, I guess. Neck issues, eating too much junk, and I just caught a cold from Rosina. At least I know it will be brief... I finally broke down and started a Color Affection, while I was on a garter stitch kick. And my next project will be another thing I said I'd never knit: a fingering-weight cardigan. It will take a LONG time, and I haven't picked a pattern yet, but we are planning some serious road trips this summer, so it should keep me out of trouble. I got a huge cone of (I think) LB 1878 from my parents for my birthday last year, so free sweater!
Speaking of my birthday, it is in nine days. It is a prime-number birthday, which is not a cool thing in my dork mind. I'm thinking about making it a Selfie Month--"this is what a prime-number-year-old looks like", or whatever. I guess I need the boost! We shall see.
