I finished the baby sweater late late Saturday night. When I woke up to go to the shower my sinuses felt like they were packed with cotton so I didn’t go.

The house is as clean as it’s going to be for now. My parents arrive in about four hours. I still have a head cold / sinus thing and I just washed my hair anyway.

Melon’s favorite food this week is a canned kipper snack we found in the exotic tinned foods aisle. It’s among the more disgusting seafood items I’ve ever seen but she’s eating it so I’ll put up with it.

The construction seems to be going on further down the road now. Although sometimes we get a boom or vibration from the trucks. That makes the dog bark. She’s also taken to barking when the phone rings. Good thing it doesn’t ring that often. I think she can sense our annoyance with the phone so she barks at it to make it go away.

I’ve eaten so many cough drops I’ve given myself a stomachache.

And I’m on the third day of my period but I can’t eat chocolate because it coats my throat and makes me cough.

Please excuse my posts all being about whining or knitting lately. I haven’t really been thinking about the website very much and when I do it’s usually to whine or show off knitting.
