Oh, I did do some work on our tentative itinerary for the trip...a big job for me. I think I've taken care of most of what I need to for the trip to date, but so much that needs doing has to wait until nearly last minute - I've a looooong list of that stuff!! I hate last minute!! I'm always afraid I'm going to forget something vital. Before my stroke I could go with the flo, even though I was the worrier of the family. What a difference since then........now things have to be planned fairly well or I panic....does that ever suck!! I have firmed up some of our plans with a few friends and family we plan to visit - a big help. I'm nervous about the flight......not really the flying part so much, but the check in, getting from gate to gate, etc....we've never done this and I'm afraid I'll screw up something....miss a connector....or something will be wrong with our baggage or it will get lost. I did arrange for electric cart and/or wheelchair service - I'd never make it from gate to gate walking! I've gotten so much advice from others who've flown....it's all so different that none of it seems helpful now! Well, either all will go well and I'll be fine, or things will get messed up and I'll be so stressed I don't cope. Sigh.
Yesterday I did errands and got the groceries. I was bumming.......bought a couple of pair of new sneakers on my last Walmart trip (2 wks ago). I've worn a size 8 in all the Dr. Scholl's for over 6 years, so I didn't try these ones on when I bought them two weeks ago.....wouldn't you know, they're too small and I need an 8 1/2. And, of course......the store didn't have that size, so I ended up having to return them and get a refund. DARN!!! The second pair I bought that day, a pair of Starter brand on sale for $16, were to be my "kickin around" ones...and I did try those on......an 8 fit me ok...but being "cheap ones" are not comfortable for all day wear. Now I need to either try to find the Dr. Scholl's I wanted in a different store or go buy some expensive sneakers so I'll have a good pair. Sigh again.
On to more fun topics!! Here's the picture of the last completed project....another hat and scarf done in worsted and Fancy Fur.I've got another little tote started, but I've not worked on it in over a week.....just can't seem to get interested in it again. So, it'll sit in the basket and wait for me, hollaring occasionally. I did do a few rows on the baby dress WIP....I'll probably finish that before our trip.
I want to do another bolero/shorty sweater with the Fancy Fur, but I'd like to find an easier pattern. I've a couple that call for worsted yarn - tried to adapt them for the bulky with no luck as usual! I should have known better...I never can do that and it just makes me mad at myself...dur!! I'll have to look around and see what I can find.
So.....I'm outta here!
