But, I don't wanna go back to school... Wah...

Today was my first day back from winter vacation. If you are a regular reader, you might have noticed I haven't been posting everyday like I had been doing.. WHY? I was SICK.. and just didn't feel that good. I had follow-up doctor visits every 3 days and I'd get more 'meds' too.. At first I was taking 14 pills a day! I know that some of the pills were antibiotics and the rest? Here the pharmacy gives you your meds all divided up in little packets for your daily dosages-- and in my case it was 3 times a day. So, I just marked the packages: AM, L (for lunch), and PM. I was taking whatever you take for a severe upper respiratory infection.

I'm on the mend now- but, I feel like I was cheated out of some of my vacation days though.

I did manage to knit some, went to the market a couple of times (even if I was dragging and wished that I was home laying down), and watched some old movies on DVD.
But, mostly.. I was sick.

Here is the most recent knitted project- a cable hat...

And a couple of my friends went to New Zealand for Christmas. I'm teaching one of them how to knit and she brought me a skein of this wonderful 'hand-dyed' 'hand spun' wool from New Zealand. Doesn't it look like a box of crayons?

I bought these two colors to go with the NZ yarn-- I was thinking about either a purse, cuff on a pair of gloves or mittens, or even a scarf accented with the 'crayon box' yarn. I think that I like the blue yarn best??? What do you think?
