Back in the game?

Wonder if this is a good sign? After not eating for the past four days, and prior to that, I had only eaten for 2 days after the last go round of this crud, I wake up at 4 am this morning, famished! Yes, I said 4 freaking am!!! My schedule right now is a train wreck. I tippy-toed (didn't want to wake Scooter) into the kitchen and zapped me a bowl of Cream of Wheat cereal in the nuker, and poured a glass of orange juice to wash it down with. Oh my word, the noises my stomach is making afterwards...I'm not sure if it's woefully saying "thank you", or it's going to twist into something ugly again. Time will tell, but since I'm not dizzy or feeling nauseous now, I'm opting for the more positive "thank you". What a crazy diet...when this has all completely passed, I'm jumping on the scale! Oh, and I'm anxious to call my mom this morning to tell her she can stay home today and take it easy. Bless her heart...I know she means well, but she has been coming over every day to fix me tea, hot chicken broth, and an occasional piece of wall board dry toast, none of which I wanted or could keep down. I am so very grateful that my mom is still with us though, and I actually think it's kind of funny that she still hovers over me like that!

Having said all that, I'm sad to say there has been absolutely NO knitting happening. I didn't even have the strength to lift my needles or crochet hook. The desire was there, but no energy or focusing. I can't remember the last time that happened. Probably was when my last child was being born nearly 33 years ago, but if my ex-husband had handed me a hook or needles and yarn, I probably would've sure tried it! lol

The plan for today is to stay down and take it slow, cast on for a new project...(yayyy, I'm excited again!), and keep the diet light and bland.

Oh geez, I almost forgot...I do have some yarny goodness to share with you!! I received my Socks that Rocks yarn yesterday that I ordered. I can't stop staring at it. If you have never tried this yarn, you need to. That's all I'm gonna say. I used it before when I made my chevron scarf which gets me compliments everytime I wear it. I swear this yarn is absolutely gorgeous!!! The colorways shown are County Clare on the left, and Dragon Dance is the other. I'm not sure what they want to be yet, but as soon as I know, you will be the first I share it with! You can find it here. One of the things I need to do for 2010 is go through my stash and take inventory. It's like it's magically expanding..how does that happen? I'm so lucky to have such a supportive man in my life that hears me everytime I make the slightest exclamation over some yarn I've found and says "you NEED to get that!" Ummm, ok honey! I mean, who am I to argue with that? I really do try to keep it under control though, so moving right along, I'm off to pick up my needles today and use some of it! Hurrahhhh!!!
