Snow chaos

Well the snow hasn't stopped and the girls went to school this morning in a blizzard as school was open , only to be sent home again at lunchtime.

I am off work at the moment as my legs have given out on me at the moment and having a bad time with my CFS. So when I have been able to , I have picked up my knitting and have been working on a lace version of the 198yd shawl with extra repeats and it's coming up lovely. It's nice to be sitting in the warmth of the house, resting my legs and happily knitting away.

Snow has arrived

Woke yesterday morning to a blanket of snow , but had no more through out the day. I sat curled up with a knitted blanket , and knitted quite happily. Then we woke this morning to a blizzard , but it went off mid morning and hasn't returned so far fingers crossed. Am glad I am all snug and warm in the house and have my knitting and Christmas movies to keep me occupied lol. Just waiting for the Strictly and xfactor results and then have an early night I think.

Oh dear :(

Well had a bad day at work on Tuesday , got to work at 7.45am and parked in the basement and then discovered both front and back lifts were out of order and if you don't know me I have osteoarthritis in my knees , walk with a stick and I do not do stairs. But stupidly as I was worrying about being late I decided to walk up 4 floors to get to my desk. This nearly killed me I was struggling to breathe and my legs were in agony and I was struggling to walk. Very kind work mates helped me to my seat and got me water etc. I struggled the whole day and also missed my chair when trying to sit down and had to be helped up :(. Was so glad to get to the end of the day and I really struggled to drive home as by this time my knee was like z balloon. Got home crawled up the stairs to my bed and looked at my right knee and the swelling was all around my knee and for at least 6" below and above. So it was time to dose up on pain meds and stay where I was.

On Wednesday I had appointment with the doctor and was still not able to drive so hubby had to take me. Doctor gave me a line for 2 weeks to allow me to recover and take things easy. I took things easy for the rest of the day then mid evening exhaustion landed on me and I could hardly move and my eyes kept shutting , thinks the ME / CFS kicked in and it took every ounce of energy to get up stairs to bed. Crashed out and struggled to wake up this morning when I phoned work and then lay back down and am still lying there . Have some knitting beside me , but don't have alot of energy so don't think I will get much done lol

Think I might blog daily if able to as I might go mad being stuck in the house for days. Please feel free to cheer me up if you can either here or on ravelry, Facebook or twitter xxxxxx

Winter has arrived

Well winter arrived this morning, went out to go to work and the car was frozen solid , took ages to thaw the windows and the car didn't even hear up on the journey to work. Going to sit curled up on the couch with my crochet and design some crochet cowls for a friends charity event.

Knitting group

Was great to actually get to knit group this morning as I haven't been in weeks with one thing or another. I was good to catch up with my mates Nan, Liz , Aileen, Sally and Linda . As usual didn't get much knitting done as we were too busy gabbing lol. Fingers crossed will get there on Wednesday night as we are drawing the secret Santa yippee wonder who I am buying for.
