The Joy of Getting

The joy of giving continued. First I was given a bed filled with germs. Boy A had climbed in bed with hubby early Saturday morning, and he breathed on my pillow, and spread germs all over my side of the bed. Of course hubby's side of the bed was filled with the same kind of germs. I wasn’t going near that bed until both guys were better and I could change the sheets. Which leads me to the second gift, the joy of sleeping on the sofa for two nights. It was the first time since before we were married and were sleeping under the same roof that we didn’t sleep in the same bed. I enjoyed it. No one to steal the covers, no one to wake me up with snoring and no extra germs. I think this means I’ve reached a new stage in my marriage. And I think it is a good stage. Last but not least they also gave the bug to me. It was a nasty bug and it earned me 2.5 days off of work. Of course most of the time was off work and either sleeping or feeling so miserable I wished I was sleeping.
I did knit a lot while the guys were sick. In fact I made my first felted bag. I am pretty pleased with it. If I do another one I do something different for the handle. I did it with two strands of yarn -two different colors. I would have liked it better if I had kept the colors separate, either done it in blocks or stripes. Oh well next time.
I have fallen in love with Mason Dixon Knitting. It has lots of ideas for things other then sweaters. While I am working on a sweater, I want to do other things. So I’m working on blanket too. I am just too cool for words.
