The Plague's Not as Fun As You'd Think

I really should stop tempting fate.

I read some blog post a while ago about someone who was laid up sick and who got a lot of knitting done, and I thought to myself, self, wouldn't it be nice to be laid up sick and get a lot of knitting done?

Well, I got the former all right, but not that much knitting came out of it.  That's because when I get sick, it's not usually the mild sniffly drive-by kind of sick (okay, I don't actually slow down for those, this may be why), but it's usually the asleep for 20-hours-straight kind of sick, and this was one of those.  I woke up for an hour or two, then tried to knit and went right back to sleep.  Fat chance.

A few rows were knitted on the MS3.  Not so much as you'd notice, but more than were in this picture.  I'm a fair bit into clue 3, let's say.  Way behind most of the rest of y'all but what would you expect?

Yes, and now my computer can't even post a photo.  Some stupid explorer window that won't close.  I'll put it up there next time I'm in a quiet space on the home computer with no kids climbing on me.  So, that should be in the next six months, I'm quite sure.

Never mind, I'm going to bed.  Just a shout-out to let you know that I'm (almost) alive.  Thanks for the wonderful dialogue on the Serious Stuff post.  Don't worry, I won't be doing too much of that.

PS: I've also been knitting socks.  Shocker!

Fortunately, I don't get sick too often, either, but I manage to do it up in similarly spectacular fashion. They say that adults aren't supposed to get high fevers, but 104 is not at all unheard of for me. In fact, I once signed an offer on a house with a fever that high. Hope you're back on your feet quickly.

Socks, of course.

Well, you're stil ahead of me, I'm toiling along in clue 2. Feel better!

[Lee Ann]

Love to you...hope you feel better soon.

Oh no. I'm sure that plague was meant for my house, as we've had so many things go wrong this summer that I've been waiting for locusts and frogs and boils and such. So sorry that it went your way instead! Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry to here you've been ill. Sleep is good, though.

(noticing the scrolling cities. Somebody from Loughborough is reading. Cool. Mat grew up there. And I can't believe there is a town in PA called King of Prussia)

Oh no! Feel better. Sending healthy vibes out west. healthy. healthy. healthy.

[tina]

feel better soon, nothing like a bit of the plague to get a girl down. When you are feeling perkier you will get your needles back under you and make up for lost time! I'm way behind you on MS3 as well----
sending good juju for health and strength!

[Kathy]

Feel better!

[Beth S.]

Poor Cate! :-(

[melissaknits]

oh, huge bummer. huge, huge bummer. sorry.
my ms3 is stopped at chart 3. tooooooo busy - fall catalog projects!

[Lucia]

Please feel better soon! I think I tried unsuccessfully to come up with something reasonably intelligent, ok, coherent, to say about Serious Stuff. And I'm not even sick. Feel better soon!

[--Deb]

Um, feel better?

[Manise]

Feel better soon, sweetie. Hugs to you. Socks make perfect sense.

[Dr. Steph]

I hope you feel better soon. Being sick in the summer sucks.

And you're still ahead of me on MS3--I'm still on clue 2.

[JessaLu]

Feel better!

[Lisa]

Feel better!!

I too tried unsuccessfully to think up something clever to say on your last post - but it did make me think. Mostly about how a lot of men I know think they need to convince you to think the way they do - and yes, I know that is a very general statement.

I certainly hope you are feeling better! Welcome to Autumn Rose KAL and I can't wait to start it!
