the slow road

Hi!
Home again, home again, jiggity jig... This is my 6th week out of work - I would have been back to work today full time, most likely, if it weren't for my little spinal fluid hiccups. Luckily, I have another 3 weeks or so to recoup, and today will involve a little extra pampering thanks to Mrs. Jones' birthday present. I am very much looking forward to having extra pretty soft feet to put up while I do almost nothing but knit, read, and well, blog I guess.
I am, at present, wearing the pink sweater that I've been working on seemingly forever, but I didn't actually do the last finishing step, and I think I need to before the public gets a viewing. Soon, though, very soon! And in the meantime there are lots of socks to knit! :) Shut up... I'm not crazy.
Most of the badguys know that I have officially entered the realm of the lame and I created a myspace account. I am now friends with Moby and TMBG, as well as with The Inkwell Collective, as it should be. I have to admit that it is very exciting to get in touch with a few actual old friends, though. I have to say that I find the pages to be not as user-friendly formatting-wise as blogger is, which makes me not want to spend very much time on it. It has, however, inspired me to consider trying to organize a 13-year reunion for my graduating class (since we skipped the 10-year thing, which only makes sense for us). I'm heading home this weekend for Grandma's B-day (and free corn!) and if I run in to any of the alumns I may see if anyone would be up for such a thing.
The little girl had us up at 4:15 this morning. Lesson: if we let her sleep all day, we can't go anywhere at night without doing something to tire her out first. Or else. Thankfully LiFest should be over any day now and we can go back to the DP.
Dang... turns out when you spend a month on your back, there isn't much interesting to write about.
