Calendars
Well, see what I got? My very own Chappysmom calendar PLUS a Chappysmom mug. (Because, well, I had to.) How cool is that?
Speaking of calendars–don’t forget–tomorrow, November 15th is the last day you can enter into my Calendar Contest! There are a LOT fewer entries than there were last year–less than 20, which means 100 of you possible entrants just decided I wasn’t worth the trouble this year.
But, come on . . . I got SHINGLES FOR MY BIRTHDAY, for heaven’s sake, and I’ve hardly complained at all. All I want is a chance to see your November calendar pictures (sniffle). That’s not too much to ask, is it? I’d even extend the deadline if I thought it would really help . . . Come on, folks! Not a single beefcake picture in the bunch this year, so far….
Now, I’ve been spinning. Or, technically, plying the last couple of nights. It doesn’t look like much, but that’s more than two hours’ worth of treadling, and I’m nowhere near the halfway point.
The colors are pretty lousy, too, I should tell you, but then, it’s gray and cloudy and wet and, well, no natural light was available for the taking of this photo. And, I’ll admit to being too lazy to move the wheel closer to the light because I didn’t want to bother having to move the lazy kate, too. Sorry. I’m tired.
I posted the other day about having a sore throat and wondering if I was catching a cold. I don’t think that I did, but my sinuses are NOT happy right now. I don’t know if this is allergies or a side-effect to the Shingles, but while I don’t feel sick, I don’t feel entirely well, either. And, I don’t know, is this a normal thing with Shingles? I couldn’t find anything online that mentioned these kinds of symptoms at the END of the rash. And, speaking of the rash, it’s healing, but today, my shoulder is sore. Only, I can’t quite tell if that’s because of the after-effects of Shingles or because I’ve done so much plying the last couple days.
In other words, I have no idea how I feel, so I just kind of shrug when well-meaning people ask me.
Now, if only I could get Autumn Rose’s neckband to cooperate….
Come on, folks, show me your calendars!

House Calls
I was going to enter.. but my calendar doesnt have a picture! Its just a plain ol text calendar from my kid’s school. I just never got around to buying a nice picture one last year
I wish my calendars were more interesting! (you saw them…). I have heard that shingles is painful, not just itchy. Maybe you do have a lingering sinus infection, perhaps unrelated to the shingles? Steamy pots of water with things like pepperment/eucalyptus are good… with your head under a towel… vaporizors, some folks like sinus rinses, but they always push the nasty stuff further into my holey head.
Ok. I finally was at home with my camera and got my pictures taken. I posted them tonight. As for the shingles, I have no idea about sinuses, but here in St. Louis allergies are absolutely hideous right now. I cannot, for my life, figure out why. Usually, by this time I’m beginning to feel a bit better. I do apologize for the lateness of my calendar entry.
I entered last year, but I have had a look around, and somewhat surprisingly, I don’t have a calendar for this year anywhere in my house! How did that happen?
It’s so gray today, but I’ll send a (bad) photo of my calendar.
I imagine you’re still a bit rundown. Feel better soon!
Feel better soon! I’ll take a photo of my DH’s calendar because I don’t have one!
I don’t have a calendar to show you! Sorry. Wish I did…
I hope you feel better soon…
Sheesh, you can’t catch a break, can you? First you get Shingles for your birthday, then you don’t get the number of entrants you want (and deserve), and to top it all off – NO BEEFCAKE ENTRIES!
I have been so flippin busy I keep forgetting. I’ll try and remember tonight. In between eating, taking the cat to the vet (again), giving 2 cats there medicine, going to the grocery store…aaargh!
I would enter but my calander is the same as last year, being “perpetual” and all. Kind of boring. I do hope you feel better soon and I can’t wait to see the finished plying in all its glory!
