Poor Alison has been reading the archives- clearly I need to up the output around here.
Work, well, today I witnessed informed consent for someone who is very hard of hearing. The entire sep down unit is now fully informed of the risks and benifits of a PICC line. Maybe we should have gotten consent from everyone, just to save time in the future. It was pretty funny in the way that nursing is often funny- horrible, but funny. The PICC nurse was bellowing away about the risk of infection, embolus, and nerve damage, making it sound dire. Then a more cheery bellow about how the line can last for up to a year, and most blood draws can be done from it, so no more sticks. She signed.
Knitting. Socks, except I've noticed that I don't like most of my vast stash of sock yarn. I don't know if my tastes have changed, or if I am just sick of the site of it. I'm going to try and work my way through Lucy Neatby's book, and see if that perks things up.
Like thousands of other people, I went to Maryland Sheep and Wool, and had a grand time. Won a prize for spinning blind folded, which was fun, and the friend I was with bought her first spindle, so, Bwhhhaaaaaa, she is now a member of the club. I was about to add a photo of a dear little goat, but apparently I am not smart enough to use the new updated blogger, and so that will have to wait untill my technical support dude returns from out of town.

About Me
- woolywoman
- I'm a former critical care pediatric nurse. Now I just teach folks how to care for their newly installed medical hardware.And, I knit like a fiend, spin some, make stuff,quilt in a supremely non linear way, let the kids make giant art related messes, have only two half trained dogs, a tolerant husband, and generally make anyone who has ever seen my house feel better about their house keeping. Run on sentences and misuse of the semi colon; also favorite activities.

Eh, that's just Blogger. They also have it right now so that if you hit Preview it won't allow any comments on that post; the way around that is to cut and paste from the dashboard into a new post, delete the old one and repost it. Voila! Comments!
That said, my technical support guy moved my blog off Blogger yesterday onto Wordperfect, which has a dashboard only a geek could love the looks of, but never mind. My site was hosted on our server, which was just dying under the load. Who knew. So if a link breaks, it's still at spindyeknit.com/blog .
And I'm sitting here, going, you went to MARYLAND and you didn't take ME?? I grew up in Maryland! I tried to get my publisher to push up the date so I could have the excuse of going and signing books there, but no such luck. So I'll be at Stitches East instead, along with DH, staying at his folks' not too far away. Gonna get my fibery festival back home one way or another. I'm glad you got to go!
Tell your sweety a great big THANK YOU!!! It was SO good seeing you yesterday!!! (Okay, I know those exclamation marks are hyperventilating. Quick, someone call me a nurse!)
