All Quiet on the Eastern Front....

Wow, it's been sooooooo long since I've posted I don't know where to begin. Well, I know I've been away for a long time, but trust me it was not by choice, but rather by emergency. I know I told you all that my dad had a successful open heart surgery; however, at that time what we did not know were all the complications said open heart surgery would cause to other body parts. My father is still in the hospital, still trying to recover though it has not been easy. I don't tell you this to scare you and make you think I take back what I said in my previous post. Quite the contrary, if my dad had gone and gotten regular check ups, if he had taken his insulin and been a good diabetic then he probably wouldn't be in this position. But now, there's not point in saying "if", we simply must roll with the punches.

However, you can imagine what said punches have done to my knitting... they've basically killed it! There's no time to knit, and when I do find a few windows of opportunity here or there I find myself getting sleepy, well because I'm tired! Oh boy, how I long for the days of Finished Objects and knitting while listening to my favorite podcasts. Oh well, what can I do, that's life.

For now, I only ask that my dad gets better and maybe, just maybe, that I have a Finished Object by the end of the year (is that greedy of me.... :op) Oh and one more thing, I said "on the Eastern Front" rather than "on the Western Front", which is the way the saying goes, because well, I'm living in the East right now (yes, it's the Middle East, but it's still East of the West... Okay I just confused myself... lol)
