Whine + wine = Me!

I’m whiney today! In fact, I’m extremely whiney today (be glad you weren’t here). So, today, I put drops in my ear, laid down, cursed the doctor to the point of his birth, cooked dinner, washed up, picked up after the dog..three times, put more drops in my ear, took several pain relievers (found the magic combination), attempted to play the sims, had a nosh and whined the whole time!

I’m a crappy patient.  I don’t even feel like knitting or crocheting.  Oh, I did find one that I could manage quite easily.  I love the “shell pattern”!  It totally rocks.  I did discover that crocheting takes up enormous amounts of yarn!  Definitely not the craft for the pricey stuff, I save that for knitting!  At the rate I’m going, I’m going to have an afgahan quickly. I still can’t do a granny square nor can I read some patterns.  There should be a rule book on pattern writing.  Some of the abbreviations make no sense nor can I find what they mean anyplace.  I can only surmise that the author created it, thinking “oh, this is super simple to figure out”.  Well, let me be the first to say, “it’s not that easy, please speak in simple plain crochet terms”!  So, when I see a pattern like that…I just skip it!  I have enough trouble figuring out the ones that make sense.

I’m much better at “pattern” squares rather than the fancy rounds/skip this/double here ones.  I love the ones that are solid pattern.  I think I’ll stick to those for a bit.  I can just make squares like that, it will work the same way, right?

So, I’m bitchy, whiney and pissy…oh, aren’t I just the proverbial ball of fun.  The only bright spot in the day is Ford, Maggie and Templar, they amuse the hell out of me!

Day Two of Ear Hell.

Ever heard the saying, the cure is worst than the hurt?  This is very true.  The stupid drops they gave me to stuff into my poor ear, hurt worse than the actual whole ear thing.  Can I sue?  There is not enough Aleeve in the house nor Costco that will help this.  Gah.  Needless to say, I have totally lost hearing in my right ear now.  Thanks Doc! Oh, please let me share the total cost of my prescriptions with you all….87.00 (and they gave me a shopping bag to hold it all)!!!  and that was with insurance, thank you very much!

P will be home tonight about 8pm, which means I probably should fix dinner or something?  Blech.  At least it’s cool today (i.e…actually it’s rather cold here and a light sweater is called for).

As for today, I’m taking aleeve, ear drops and assorted other goodies and sleeping in.  I feel like hell.  Although, not bad enough to miss Stephanie Pearl-McPhee tomorrow night!  For the Yarn Harlot, I would have an ambulance deliver me to the store!!!!
