I was on leave last week....a whole week away from the office! I was so glad to have some time for doing just what I wanted to do for a change!
It didn't work out quite like I'd planned.
On Day One (Saturday) I did some laundry and household drudgery with (naturally) some knitting tossed in here and there.
On Day Two (Sunday) I went to visit my parents. Mom had an upper respiratory thing going on which was distressing, but otherwise it was a good day.
On Day Three (Monday) I went to a local park and spent a lovely day exploring their nature center and walking the lakeside trail, snapping digital photos of beautiful fall color.
On Day Four (Tuesday) I woke up sick. Can you believe it? I'd caught Mom's cold. Is my luck crappy or what??
So here's the good news: Mom's much better, and I was well enough to return to work today. And my brief illness caused me to have to stay in the apartment and rest. Which I needed. REALLY needed.
One day I didn't feel well enough to knit, but the other days were filled with mugs of hot tea, an Alka-Seltzer Cold medication buzz, and lots of yarn.
All in all, not a bad week. :-)

A Week.....A WHOLE WEEK!!
Once upon a time there was a knitter known on the internet as Cricket54. Cricket was a fairly new knitter fumbling her way through learning how to knit with help from friends and the wonderful informative sites she found online. She had some problems in 2009 due to a back injury and gives knitting full credit for helping her keep her sanity during the long wait for surgery that fixed the problem.
This year, knitting saved her sanity again (except for the fact that she's suddenly begun to post her blog in the third person for no apparent reason....*ROTF*) by helping her deal with an extremely stressful year at the office.
Okay, back to first person. I'm ON VACATION THIS WEEK!! *happy joyous dance* With any kind of luck whatsoever the most strenuous thing I'm going to do is knit and drink copious amounts of coffee (my drug of choice). I have several different projects on needles at the moment and hope to make some progress this week. I'm not putting any pressure on myself about it, though. Nothing has to be finished this week. NOTHING. I plan to knit while relaxing, and if I get tired, I'll quit.
This is my week to chill out and recharge my batteries. My motto for the week: "The dustbunnies have waited this long, they can wait a few days longer!!"
Hope your week is as restful as I plan for mine to be, dear knitterly friends!
