Quiet

I have so little to tell you today, really. A misty, foggy, drizzly kind of day. Luckily none of that ice storm hitting so many other people--I don't mind snow, but ice can be scary! Our office was open today, but oh-so-quiet. Several people were out, no mail, few phone calls. So basically, I was bored most of the day, but of course, since they've tightened even further the internet restrictions, couldn't even ease the time along by browsing the internet. It was a long, slow, quiet day.

Knitting-wise, there's nothing to show you there, either. My two sweaters are moving along, but at such a snail's pace, they're not worth photographing because they'd look pretty much the same as they did the last time. Ditto the spinning--I did figure out that what's bugging the Journey Wheel is the tension--to get it tight enough for the upper band to spin the flyer, the tension around the main drive was too loose, and the drive band just popped out of its groove on the wheel. I'm thinking about getting a silicon drive band for it--a little more flexible than string, and maybe that will take care of the problem.

The only other thing, really, is that I got a call from Dad this afternoon, saying that Mom was having that troublesome tooth extracted this afternoon. Poor Mom! So tonight she's very sore and very tired, the meds are making her stomach hurt, and well . . . we're all hoping she'll be feeling better by tomorrow. Meanwhile, I stopped on my way home from work and picked her up some more chocolate pudding, some rice pudding, some Lipton Noodle Soup (her fav), and as soon as I got home, made her Jell-o. Can't have too many soft things, right??

And, really, that's my day in a nutshell. So quiet, it's not even worth a photo  . . . maybe tomorrow!

Well, quiet days are better than too exciting. Isn't there a curse that goes something like "May you live in interesting times"???

Your mom's diet is giving me flashbacks...I lived on chocolate pudding for a week. I really hope she stops hurting soon, I feel so bad for her!

[Risa]

Poor Mom. I hope she's better today.

Quiet days are a mixed blessing. I know they make the day slooooooow and very long. I hate that locking down of the internet at offices. We have some lockouts in place too. So far nothing that I would ordinarily hit, except for the stream of my favorite radio stations.

Hope your mom is doing well!! Bummer about the internet thing at work....

I feel like we have flipped our states around. I woke up to 5 inches of snow and it is now at about 7in. I'm so used to the drizzle;)
My mom is pretty happy about the weather as she had an appointment for a painful dentist experience this morning.

Your poor mom. :-( She's probably about had it with her teeth lately, and going to the dentist and all. Hugs.

My Nick spent the day at the dentist too, he feels your moms pain, quite literally.

I love quiet days, although not being able to pass the time browsing the internet could be quite annoying.

Aw, what a good daughter.

I'd hate quiet days at work with no net access. I suppose you couldn't read or knit surreptitiously either?
