Traveling Hangover

I’ve had a headache for the past three days. My guess is that I have a hangover from traveling. I haven’t been hungover for many years, but it’s not a feeling that I forgot. Generally my hangovers didn’t last three days, though.

The trip was great and I’m so glad we went. I found some Children’s Dramamine for LouLa, which worked on the way there. But, I forgot to give it to her on the way back and we had to pull over on a *very* busy interstate to clean her up (I’ll leave the details to your imagination- She had yogurt and blueberries for breakfast ). I searched through the suitcases and found it and she was fine after that.

I was lucky enough to have something waiting for me when I got home:

I signed up for the Blue Plate Special from Khris at Chewy Spaghetti and got my first shipment. I’m looking forward to two more and I hope that she continues offering them. She is offering a three month special with holiday themed yarn. I think there are still some openings available.

I requested a solid-ish color and I’m really happy with what she sent. It’s a really pretty pink and it’s very soft. It’s sportweight, which I’ve never used for socks, but I have lots of patterns and she was kind enough to include some suggestions. She also sent along some goodies. On the top picture you can see the cute bumpersticker, which I’ll tape to the back window of my car. You can see on the bottom picture the cute bag that matches nicely with the yarn. You might not be able to see it, but the button on the bag says, “Make socks not war,” which fits perfectly with my personal sentiments.

I have done some knitting, but I’ll leave those pictures for another day. I need to go take some more Advil and fry up some bacon. Isn’t that supposed to be good for a hangover?
