Another follow up apointment for my shoulder today. If you’re just joining the party, I had shoulder surgery on June 8, 2005. Five weeks ago. It has been a LLLLLOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG 5 weeks. No golf, restricted knitting, no running…its a miracle I am still sane (at least as sane as I normally am, which is questionable). Yesterday was a depressing shoulder day. It was sore from knitting…yes, knitting. Doesn’t that seem crazy? So I went to physical therapy pretty depressed. Luckily for me, my therapist must see that quite a bit and did a pretty good job getting me out of my little mood.

Since I have to get out to go to my appointment anyway, I think I really need to hit Knit Happens in Oakley again. It is maybe 10 minutes from the doctor’s office, which is way too close not to pay it a visit. On the one hand :thumbsdn: they are going out of business, on the upside though :thumbsup: all yarn and needles are 50% off. Oh joy. I am still so on yarn probation, but how can one possibly pass up beautiful (Debbie Bliss, Trendsetter, Baby Alpaca, Cascade, cashmere, jo sharp, etc. etc) yarn at that much of a discount? OOOOOOHHHH, another thought…maybe it is even MORE than 50% off by now. Must go. NOW.

Since everyone thinks their cat is the cutest, I am sure there will be a lot of entries to this contest. Lucia of the Knitting Fiend blog is sponsoring The Knitting Fiend’s Cute Cat Contest, 2005. The entry form is HERE. I don’t know if you want to bother to enter your cat though, since I think my Chinni is destined to win. :cheer: Please vote for him HERE. In case you can’t tell which one is Chinni, he is the one where you can actually see his face. It is impossible though to photograph him without his brother Rocky, as they are ALWAYS together. Gives a more literal meaning to siamese, doesn’t it? They are both 5 year old Applehead Siamese. You can read more about the Applehead Siamese at breeder Diane Dunaway’s information page. Our little babies came from her and we couldn’t be happier with them.
