I called in sick today. This cold has moved from my throat into my chest and sinuses and I’m one hurting unit today, but I still got up at 5:00 AM.
I should not have pushed myself so hard over the weekend; I think I may have overdone it and made myself sicker. Bed rest it is for me today…and possibly tomorrow.
Being sick and taking a day off isn’t all what it’s cracked up to be. I’m too sick to study, but very stir crazy so I decided to pick-up a sock I started knitting a couple weeks ago and start at it; I had only completed the ribbed cuff.
It’s slow work, but rewarding at the same time. Knitting has a rhythm that can entrance oneself and before you know it you’ve gone from the cuff to knitting the gusset heel.
This pattern is an oldie, called monkey. You can find the pattern on knitty.com, it’s free and here’s the link. Over the years, I’ve probably knitted 20 pairs of these socks. Sometimes it’s good to do something familiar.
I’m learning to find my joy again in the simple pleasures. Life goes on and I with it.
