Well, it doesn’t look like much of a bag . . . yet . . . but it will. The bottom is done, and I’ve just picked up the stitches around the edge and knitted about three rows. Clearly, there’s still a way to go, but . . . progress, at least.

I also did two, whole rows on my stole . . . exciting, huh? That puts me at row 103.

But then, I got over an inch done on my sock this afternoon, so that I’m only a couple rows away from the heel.

See, I had some extra time this afternoon. I went to the doctor (who prescribed Singulair and an Albuterol inhaler, by the way), and then over to the pharmacy, where there was some kind of computer glitch with my insurance–one scrip was accepted, the other wasn’t. It was sorted out, but . . anyway, they had a chair in the corner of the drugstore, so I sat there and knitted. Kept myself quite entertained, in fact. Now I’ll just keep my fingers crossed . . . allergy medicines I’ve tried in the past have not agreed with me, but my doctor assures me that this one is “different,” so . . . hoping. Skeptical . . . but hoping.

Hey, without going into details, we’re having some problems that may (will?) hit the crisis point within a few months unless something changes . . . there are some plans, but they’re not moving quickly enough and, well . . . if you could say a little prayer, send some helpful vibes our way . . . it would be much appreciated. You know, before things become critical…. Positive thinking can never, ever hurt!

Oh, and some good news? My niece got accepted into her number one college choice! That is so, so exciting! She applied for early-admission, it’s the only school she really wants to go to. In fact, she talks about it the same way I talked about Drew my senior year in high school. That she just knew it was right the minute she saw the campus, it was just what she’d always pictured in a college. Really, she could almost be quoting me . . . I’m so happy for her! Now, its just that pesky little financing issue . . .

I got this over at Phyl‘s and thought it was cute.
