I guess it’s going around or something. First Carole’s daughter, then Scout, and now me! I’ve had a sore throat most of the week, but it seemed to be getting better, until it got the best of me this morning. I woke up and knew that I wouldn’t be going to work today. I think it might have been the hacking cough coupled with sharp pain that tipped me off.
So anyway, I now join the ranks of the sick, and will be hanging out at home for most of the day. I suppose it’s not all bad, since now I can catch up on BSG and get some knitting done. :) I’m very anxious to finish this sock, mostly since I’ve ripped it out about 5 times now. Gauge has definitely conspired against me for this sock, but I finally have beaten it, and will soon finish a lovely Jaywalker, knit toe-up with a short row heel in my 1500 MHz Sport Sock Merino. It’s quite nice, and I’m looking forward to knitting the other sock, now that I’ve figured out all the weird gauge issues. (This of course assumes my feet are somewhat the same size. If this assumption is wrong, then I’m screwed.)
I also have a confession to make. I’m a bad father. Emma’s birthday was last week (the 22nd), and I completely spaced it until this week. I know some of you might think it’s a bit odd, but I felt bad that I didn’t get a cake or anything! When I’m going to dog obedience class every week I always remember, since we are allowed to bring cakes and treats for our dog’s birthdays, but my schedule this semester has prevented me from being a regular. I suppose not all is lost, since Emma doesn’t know it was her birthday, so if I get the cake and celebrate a bit later, she won’t mind ;)
So Happy Birthday Emma! You’re 14 in dog years now! And just as ornery as a human teenager! ;)
And speaking of birthdays, Happy Birthday Scout! Hope you feel better too, cause sickness is the suck.
I’m off to drink some more water, blow my nose, pop some pills and cozy up to a dog or two. This would be the perfect day if all the sickness was gone!
Get better adam! and Happy Birthday to Emma.

Happy belated birthday, Emma!! And I hope you’re feeling better, Adam…
Feel better adam! licorice and slippery elm in tea seem to help. ice cream too. emma surely doesn’t care, she only wants to curl up with you.

ugh, feel better!!! Give your doggie a birthday smooch from me.
Feel better and thanks. I’m still in bed….
