100%

I'm happy to report that all of the health issues I was dealing with from December on, are now officially over. I am 100% back to my normal self.

I'm just so glad it's all over. It wasn't so much all the health issues that had me so down, they were all things that could be dealt with, it was all the medications I had pumping through my veins. My god, it was horrible. The side effects all together made me feel so lousy, and I was so depressed. I didn't feel like myself anymore. But luckily as of yesterday morning, everything is finished. No more side effects, no more issues, everything has run it's course and is out of my system!

Needless to say, that now that I'm feeling better, I'll be back to blogging again on a regular basis. Or as regular as tax season will allow! I can't believe it's here already. Where did the last year go?

On the knitting front...

Remember this?


It's grown quite a bit. I've been knitting on it exclusively and am hoping to get it finished up in the next month or so. Everytime I pick it up, Joe remarks that it's so beautiful. He appreciates handmade items, and uses the afghan his grandmother crocheted on a daily basis, and keeps mentioning that he's been hoping his sister will make him another afghan, so I'm contemplating gifting it to him when it's all finished up. While the colors are starting to grow on me, I don't love them and wouldn't really use them in something for myself.

This afghan was originally started as a gift, and for a while there, I wasn't sure who would be the lucky recipient. I think the combination of knitting something I didn't truly love and not having someone imparticular to knit it for was the reason I couldn't really get into it. Now that I know someone who would truly love and appreciate all the time I put into it, I really enjoy knitting this again.

Stay tuned for a newer progress picture, probably next week sometime. I've also picked up a new hobby and will be posting pics of that as well!
