Socks

Finished my monkeys. Well my sister's monkeys...unless something miraculous happens in the blocking process and they grow enough to fit my size 9 feet. Hey it could happen.

My brother informed me that he would really like socks. You know the kind I make not like the ones he's wearing. When I asked him what color he wanted, he told me that it should have 5 colors (5 being the number of the moment--he really wants to go into kindergarten like some of his classmates, and was really disappointed when I told him he can't go until he's 5). I'll dye something up that will, hopefully, not be too garish, tacky or feminine(my mother's concern).

I think I'm going to knit my youngest sister a scarf from the pink mixed roving I spun up. I cannot believe that 1-she's 18 now and 2-she's graduating high school. Now if she could only learn how to drive better, then the collective family can stop driving her to work and school.

In other news, my sinus infection morphed into a sore throat, fever with aches, and congestion thing. It's mostly over now, just have to deal with a slightly painful throat and the congestion. This is especially interesting when combined with my allergies. Mucus. Lots of it. I should warn you, I tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac. I can diagnose myself into almost anything.

I'm off now, not to shower but to take a little boy to his soccer practice. And I have nothing cast on to take with me. Crap. Wings lost yesterday. Sigh.
