Out to Tatla on Thursday with me driving both ways, pretty much got a clean bill from Dr Rob. Results of latest tests, blood and everything else came back good. Other than having to prolly stay on Warfarin for the rest of my life, he thought I was OK. And then on Friday back to Tatla to take Lorelee in to catch a ride going to Williams Lake, once I got the Dr OK she decided it was time for her to go home, she had been here for one day short of a month, and I certainly know the first few weeks I couldn't have been here alone, so am grateful for her putting up with me for so long.

Am even thinking of going down to Whidbey Island the first few days of April, that of course depends on how much the excess medical is going to be, now with the blood clot history it might be prohibitive. Will check in Williams Lake when I take my inc tax stuff in early in March.

Back knitting on the wild socks for Tammy in NC, not yet able to stay with the knitting as I have in the past, first sock is done except for AT heel and down past AT heel spot on 2nd sock. Have reversed the colors on sock #2, will more or less still look like a pair because of the Hazel Knits solid main color.


Have heard from a couple of friends and a couple that read my blog as to where I was, truly just didn't have anything to write about, but now that my life is pretty much back to normal will try and do better.

    It's so great to know you are doing better! Thank God for friends like Loralee. She was very, very kind and loving to stay with you and give you the help you needed until you got the okay from Dr. Rob. The"dead yarn" thing was pretty funny. :D

    I was beginning to worry at the two week silence. So happy for all of us that you're mostly back to your former self. Always look forward to your posts that let me enjoy your life with you. Janice from Kentucky

    Bad news: on warfarin you can't have cranberries or grapefruit. Good news: warfarin is dirt cheap!

    Good to see you're back up and blogging-knitting too. Spring will be arriving very soon. We just 'suck up' the medical expenses of travel--just part of the cost of the trip!

    So glad you are feeling better. Love the yarn/spider joke! Great to keep a sense of humor-it made my day too. Take care.

    Hello Lynn! Glad you are feeling better. I can't imagine posting while feeling crumby; I've had my body leave me in the lurch a few times (medically speaking) and it was weird - messed with my mind. Here's to an interesting spring with nice animals and pretty weathers. Take it easy while your body and mind continue to heal up. BTW I always find your posts interesting and illuminating - I'm lost in the clatter of the burbs and your life makes me think about things.

More socks

4 more pair on needles, work on each for at least 10 rows every other day before putting it down. Blue pair is farest along and have everything ready for sock #2. Blue pair will be identical all the others fraternal. A couple of nights ago bout 9pm saw a blue heron land in tree just south of the house, watched it preen for some time and when it was to dark for a pix 2 more landed in tree beside the first. Same day saw a kingfisher dive towards the river. Bear activity has cooled down, assume they are over at the Chilko River system fishing for salmon. Last black I saw was just its backside as it headed for the west fence got a quick pix but not worth posting. Nothing much happening in my wild mountain valley these days, some ranchers have finally been able to start cutting hay, and everyone else is hoping for rain. So many bad fires in BC again this season.

Friday Jan. 5

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da

Grizzlies

May 30th had a visiting grizzly complete with two yearling cubs, camera at hand got 3 pix before she and cubs wandered off. 2023 season off to a good start, 2 blacks and 3 griz in my yard. Sock knitting continues as always, pix of latest finished pair of Monstersocks. As soon aas they were finished started another pair using a midnight blue Hawthorne from Knit Picks, but instead of Monstersocks am going back to old standby fair-nordic patterns, dk blue will be main colour then orange, med gray, red and white for the patterns. Fairly conservative for my knitting. Went into town on Monday, oil change, checked in at Speedy Glass about a new windshield (come back in a week), picked up my new glasses, then a motel for the night. Tuesday had dentist appointment at 9 am, think its the last for a while, then renewed ICBC (license plate and insurance for another year), picked up some groceries and lastly Kal Tire where I finally got winter tires off my Subie (they go back on October 1).
