The fog is lifting. . .

Hi everyone,

I can't believe we're already in to the 10th day of this new year and I'm only just starting to feel somewhat 'normal'. I've hardly done anything since I packed the Christmas decor away (ok, truth be told it's STILL not all put away, some boxes are still in the dining room!), so I've hardly got anything to blog about ;-) 

I finally got in touch with my ENT (Ears, Nose Throat specialist) office yesterday, hoping to get an appointment to see my Dr but he is booked solid this week til Friday morning! No kidding, I'm sure I'm not the only one around here suffering badly with all these allergies. Thankfully they were able to call in a prescription to my local pharmacy and I went yesterday to pick it up. Can I tell you I'm already feeling SO much better this morning. SO MUCH better that I actually went up to the gym with Cheryl at 8.30am!  My hearing is still a bit 'fluffy', feels like theirs cotton wool stuck in my left ear, but it's not as bad as yesterday so I know it's improving every hour. 

I'm still not doing much around the house, other than laundry, dishes, knitting and reading ;-)  So I have no pictures to share. But I can't have a post without pictures (I sometimes do, but it's rare!), so here's one final Christmas photo (or two), I found these pics on my other camera and forgot I'd taken them. Remember the pretty candy cane vase I made . . . 

 The week of Christmas I bought some lovely red carnations to put in it - they lasted all the way through new year too :-) Sadly last week I threw the vase away! The can was all rusty from the water and there's no way this would last a whole year in the garage with the other decor, I would think the candy canes would melt once it got over 100 in there during the summer. It was a cheap make, just $2 for a box of canes, soI'm sure I would do another one next year.

 You can see more of Jason's Christmas windmill in this picture. We've always wanted one of these and I found one a couple of years ago on Ebay.

And with all my talk of knitting, if you're wondering what's on my needles at the minute, it's this. . . . 

It's called the Dahlia Cardigan. Mine is in a light blue. I've knit most of it and am working on the first sleeve at the minute. I'll be sure to share photos once I am wearing it :-)
