Been a rough month, between coughing enough to end up with a detached retina, surgery to fix that, and the annoying side effects of the surgery, namely a "bubble" in my eye that moves when I shake my head. It sort of sloshes around, and is kind of annoying. Makes it hard to read, write, and worst of all, nearly impossible until this past week to knit, doodle, or make jewelry.
I'll have some glorious pieces to post once I figure out how to take a halfway decent picture AND how to post them here. There were some beautiful finds in Tucson from my friend and "personal shopper" Lizzie from Copper Rocks -- and a collection of gifts from her and my friend Michelle in my last cab order. Suffice to say I probably have enough cabs right now to last me until Tucson next year. I don't think I could be trusted to make the trek to Tucson myself, though, unless I wanted to mortgage the house. I have almost as little self-control when it comes to rocks as I have with sock yarn.

Friends
I've been quiet the past week or so. Intentional, since I'm really trying to start and end my day with some sort of good thought instead of hitting the floor in the morning whining. Oh, I've whined off and on to my on-line friends, but I've really friend to limit that. I know we all have our issues, and when all is said and done, mine aren't that bad in the scheme of things.
When I brought in the mail yesterday there was a package, and my first thought was "great, [unnamed vendor] finally sent my rock order.". But no, that wasn't it.
One of those "on-line" friends sent me a daily devotions book. She just felt that I needed it. It dawned on me. It was getting hard to start my day with good thoughts when I didn't start and end it with God. So, Diane, and Reverend Graham, I'm starting and ending my day with God.
For those who declare that on-line friends aren't real friends, I wholeheartedly disagree. Friends are those who care about you, who give you a [virtual] shoulder to cry on, who celebrates your victories and lift you up in your defeats. They're the people who will tell you when you're right, but can also tell you when you're wrong.

Doodles, jewelry, and yarn...oh, my!
Too many vices? Maybe.
I like having a release for my pent-up inner artist. Ok, and having people compliment me is pretty darn cool too.
Now, if there were some way that the doodles, jewelry, and knitting could somehow use only 1 stash, and that stash would magically refuse to take over every corner of my house, I'd like that. Hey, I have simple demands -- I don't ask for much.
