We got groceries done that will last us for a while at least and way under budget do to generous help from Katie. Forgot to look for pajama tops/sets because my brain was not braining well. She wanted to take us over to target because I said I needed elastic but we went to Michael's instead which came up zero. I don't think Target would have had any better chance but it would have reminded me about getting pajamas.
Oh well.
Other than that, running through check list, will probably use backpack for overnight bag since that bag is in storage and don't really need much. Clean underwear, one pair of socks, tooth brush/paste, spare shirt for going home and the only thing I have for bottoms is sweatpants which is okay for travel. Bringing my 'purse'/knitting bag for personal stuff, wallet, glasses (just remembered to find my eyeglass case), watch and likely will have the sock that's almost finished just in case. Not sure if I want to bring my ipad for games because it's overnight, and left arm may have IV in it and right side chest muscles will be compromised. Will see what happens. Fewer things to track of is better.
I got online this morning and did the hospital form and check in already, paid the copay for the procedure so that's all done when I get there and things will go a lot smoother. Not sure if Amber is going to stick around but hope she does because Jon will need a ride back home to take care of Rocky. Don't think he would want to sleep at the hospital and not sure when I'll be getting out. I only know that Amber can get us to the hospital tomorrow, not sure about Tuesday ride home. Will have an answer hopefully soon.
I'm trying not to stress and I think I'm doing okay. I'm more worried about Jon than what I'm going through. He worries about me and I can see in his eyes that if he were to lose me, it would not be good for him (which is obvious you'd think) but more that we are such a pair that it would be a huge hole in his life (again what married couple has not had that). There's so much he doesn't do on his own, like simple cooking stuff, taking care of Rocky... he loves the little guy but he's never scooped his litter box. Silly things like that.
I need to show him on my computer where all my passwords are just in case, I know I know it'll be fine but there's always that tiny chance of things going wrong. So even if I am perfectly fine, cooking will be chancy for a few days, I'll have things to keep track of on my own, follow up visits next week and the week after and still no car.
Still trying to decide whether I should sell it or not but then will need some form of transportation indefinitely. Too much to think about right now, need a distraction.
Ohhh look yarn!
So yeah... the shawl yarn is expensive at $40 per skein and you need two for the gradient and one for the solid. I went online to Hobbii yarns and they had something that will do for slightly less and much more yardage. My friend gave me the money for it because Michael's sucks for yarn now. The substitute yarn is same weight, not exactly the same but close enough. There are gold beads also incorporated into the solid section in the 'Starbird' Jedi symbol but not going to worry about that right now (if I had access to my bead stuff I would have more than enough). I could use a knitting stitch that would create a little opening so that could work as well. Will I ever finish this shawl? Maybe, maybe not. But it's nice to have that in my queue. Most of the projects in the book are medium to difficult for the average knitter (as you can see from the projects on the cover).
So that's all for now, no updates for a few days...see you on the other side.
