and i am back!
here i am knitting socks in the ocean. does it get better? i don’t think so. i never see photos of myself knitting, although i am going to ask jake to attempt to take more, but i was surprised to see the funny thing i do with my pinky(s) like i am posh and drinking a cup of tea. i think it is a big part of what makes my carpal tunnel flare up.
we got home last night, after a 12 hour drive, of which jake did ALL of. i fall asleep in the car, really easily, so i slept on and off a lot of the way. i worked on my sock, that has been knitted and reknitted several times. today, i think i got things figured out better, i think i have got it. i actually made them open toed so that i could wear them in the warm weather or with flipflops or to spin, i will take photos soon.
we were so so so glad to be home. i missed to the cats horribly, despite my love of the beach, i have a hard time being away from home, although amy took great care of them and for the first time ever peeps did not poop anywhere in retaliation. yay peeps! after 10 years she is growing up! kahlo ignored me for about 2 hours after we got home and then came up to cuddle. pavel is very very close to jake, and i know he gets really upset when he is not around, so he totally lost his cool when he saw his papa.
before we left, i had noticed that kahlo seemed a bit firmer, she is our chubbiest cat, so so cute. when we got home, i noticed that she was noticeably thinner and when i weighed her, i think she has lost a few pounds in a few months, which really worries me. next week i will have to take her to the vet. and if there is something wrong…i can’t even think about it.
i feel a bit out of sorts and unfocused for blogging, so i will go for now, but i will give you a detailed blog with loads of pictures next time. i swear it.
xo,
n.

Oh yes, the retaliation poop….always a classic. Our car Ellie left a nice one on Van’s pillow once. And to add insult to injury she waited until we walked in the door to do it. That was a premeditated retaliation poop!

pippi…i have to make sure i am not out all day, drink a ton of water and have sun block slathered on me. we normally only go out for an hour or two and do it around 2 when the sun is not as strong. i used to not be able to go in the sun at all, now as long as i take it easy, i feel pretty good, if tired.
bonnie….he!
