Sorry. I seem to have fallen off the blog wagon this week. We went to Halifax this past weekend and managed to fit in finishing Christmas shopping together with visiting with great friends and their 3.5 and 1 year old. It was a great weekend but one of those great weekends where you arrive back to your house and reality and feel a bit
deflated. Or, perhaps for me, the better description is that I am just plain tired. I guess I’m out of shopping shape! Therefore, the usual 1 to 2 to 3 hours worth of ‘me’ time ( = blogging time) I get when Iain is napping has seen me snoring away next to him. I usually manage to get up and shower before he gets up but that’s about it (the neighbours are thankful for the small effort, I’m sure). Plus, my hands are terrible. Killing. Me. I went to the doctor again today and came home with a new type of cream to try and a referral to a dermatologist. Thank. God. I will choose to ignore the 6 – 8 month waiting list in my hopeful glee…
I’m sure you’ve guessed that horrendous hand skin = no knitting. I have been getting some hooking done – the drive to Halifax put a great dent into that project – and I hope to have something interesting to post for you within the next couple of days. It’s still fibre related so I feel I’m still hitting my blog parameters (heck, it’s my blog so I can do what I want! Yeah!).
So, what’s up with you? Want to come over for a cup of tea and to reflect on the world? Wait. Iain has a doctor’s appointment tomorrow (funny how these things can never be arranged for the same day, isn’t it?!?). There goes my ‘me’ time again. It’s hump day though and I hear there’s a weekend coming up soon…
Here are belated Halloween wishes from our house to yours!

How frustrating - Hang in there though Patty.
Awesome costumes (and well worth the wait).
Keep your horns up!
Adorable costumes....hope you feel better soon.
I hope your new cream stuff works. The first stuff prescribed for my daughter didn't work either, but the second stuff - major - clears it up for months at a time with one or two applications. SCORE!
Cute pic =)
and I'm all about the napping these days - since I didn't do that when the kids were babies the way I SO shoulda done.
Oh, what a cute picture!
Sorry about the hands. I hate that multi-month wait to see a doctor. Americans are always pointing to just that situation as a reason not to have "socialized medicine", but I have private insurance that costs me almost $1000 per month (yes, you read that right) and I STILL have to wait more than six months for an appointment with a dermatologist or gynecologist, so what's the difference? The last time I tried to get an appointment with my doctor (which I needed to get a refill of birth control), they told me it would be seven months! I pointed out that if I had to wait that long, they might just as well book my delivery room at the same damned time!
Sorry. Little rant there.
What a great photo! It looks like you had a great holiday! :)
