Backing Up

-
Fell March 1 and then ended up in the hospital on the 4th, nothing broken they said it was deep tissue bruising. But for just over a week I couldn't even swing my feet up into the hosp. bed, then when things were sorta looking up diagnosed with a pretty nasty stain of the flu, so much so they moved me in a private room with isolation in place. Came home on the 17th, making room for Covid19 patients, none yet that I know of. Was pretty weak when first home, gaining strength every day. And finally picked up my knitting. Planned on finished everything on my needles, first was the sock for the crayon challenge, even tho Desert Mesa was cancelled I had to finish the sock.

Then the blue Monsters for a friend in So Calif. Same colours just in different places will get them mailed staying home restrictions are lifted.
Last pair are for M (8 years old) in Pritchard, they have been on the needles since early January, wild and crazies.
All things considered I am doing OK here in my home, my meals aren't the greatest but by far better than hospital food, most mornings for breakfast got limp mushy toast, porridge with no sugar or milk, even had a friend bring me some scrambled eggs, she wrapped in the a towel to keep them hot, nothing tasted better.

About 90% of my yard is snow free, and even my driveway looks to be drying up. Glad to be home to see the trumpeter swans flying.

    Oh dear Lynne. I'm so glad you're home and mending.
    Stay home and enjoy getting back to knitting and hopefully spinning too.

    Those crayon challenge socks are lovely.
    Take care.

    Oh sorry you had a nasty fall and flu. Glad you are home now and recovering. The socks look great. I bet those eggs tasted wonderful. Food always tastes good when made by others with love. Keep safe.

    Glad to hear you're well again & safe at home & away from the Covid mania. Home is the best place to recover anyway, with your own bed, chair & no one else's germs . . . Just stay vertical.

    Oh goodness! So glad it wasn’t too serious especially at such a critical time to be in hospital. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

    So sorry you had a fall and ended up in the hospital--particularly with boring food! The socks are gorgeous! Your color combination always amaze me.

4 more pair on needles, work on each for at least 10 rows every other day before putting it down. Blue pair is farest along and have everything ready for sock #2. Blue pair will be identical all the others fraternal. A couple of nights ago bout 9pm saw a blue heron land in tree just south of the house, watched it preen for some time and when it was to dark for a pix 2 more landed in tree beside the first. Same day saw a kingfisher dive towards the river. Bear activity has cooled down, assume they are over at the Chilko River system fishing for salmon. Last black I saw was just its backside as it headed for the west fence got a quick pix but not worth posting. Nothing much happening in my wild mountain valley these days, some ranchers have finally been able to start cutting hay, and everyone else is hoping for rain. So many bad fires in BC again this season.

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da

Grizzlies

May 30th had a visiting grizzly complete with two yearling cubs, camera at hand got 3 pix before she and cubs wandered off. 2023 season off to a good start, 2 blacks and 3 griz in my yard. Sock knitting continues as always, pix of latest finished pair of Monstersocks. As soon aas they were finished started another pair using a midnight blue Hawthorne from Knit Picks, but instead of Monstersocks am going back to old standby fair-nordic patterns, dk blue will be main colour then orange, med gray, red and white for the patterns. Fairly conservative for my knitting. Went into town on Monday, oil change, checked in at Speedy Glass about a new windshield (come back in a week), picked up my new glasses, then a motel for the night. Tuesday had dentist appointment at 9 am, think its the last for a while, then renewed ICBC (license plate and insurance for another year), picked up some groceries and lastly Kal Tire where I finally got winter tires off my Subie (they go back on October 1).
