Retail therapy = more yarn to hide

Well, I was having an extremely stressful week at work, and I decided to go
on my lunch hour yesterday to a LYS. The lady who runs it has been knitting
for at least 60 years, no kidding, and she's in poor health. You have to
call ahead to see if she's up to opening the store on the day you're
planning to come. Anyway, as fate would have it, she was open on the day I
*needed* to surround myself with yarn. :-) I came away with some 10 skeins
of some lovely DK weight wool yarn on sale for $2.00 apiece to make
cardigans for my two boys. yea! I was late getting back to work, but I
felt much better.

Now I just have to finish the baby blanket I'm making for a friend and the
latest Koolaid hat. I had promised myself I wouldn't buy more yarn this
year, but I'm willing to forgive myself and move on. :-D

Good on ya lass! I like a positive outlook.

We have an old family saying - "A little of what you
fancy does you good". I think you feel a lot better for that ;-)

You did a service for both the LYS owner and yourself!

Thank you for asking, Mirjam, I am finally improving. I had a setback
last week, running a high fever even while taking very powerful
antibiotics (750mg Cipro twice daily) but decided to wait and see if it
was perhaps a viral infection on top of everything else. It would seem
so, as my temperature has come down a lot and at the same time the
headaches are less severe.
