CountryMouse's Refuge

I stay more up-to-date via Twitter than I do via the MSM (mainstream media), especially re: natural disasters and politics.

I got up about 5:30am. I'm still messed up on my mealtimes and sleep times. But I have not lost any weight! Yay! :-)

I was online for a couple hours , mostly catching up on twitters from overnight, especially pertaining to the earthquake in China.

Bunnicula went on a trek over to the shopping center to get baby food (beef), bread, cookies, other non-cold things. I think we're going to have enough ice cream and spring water until the weekend, when Cat'r will be up here. :-)

I found a shawl I was knitting in the summer of 2005. It was still on the Denise Interchangeable flexible cord that I had it on, although the needle tips were not attached while it was in storage--just "end buttons"/stoppers. I had also attached a little note as to needle size. Anyway, I've done a few more rows on it now. It's a mix of pastel colours, stripes of varying widths and types of yarn.

Bright sunny day. But...I prefer the nice cool grey drizzly-ness of yesterday. :-P

Miss da Cat'r. :-(

(written 1:08pm--InsaneJournal has been up and down today. I originally wrote this to be posted around 10:30am but edited it to fit what was going on around 1pm)

First this terrible storm in Myanmar and the refusal of the government there to allow (most) aid.

Now the earthquake and aftershocks in China.

Oh yes, and the Mother's Day tornadoes in the U.S. Midwest and South. :-(

Too many terrible things happening.

I hope the people who were twittering from China last night are safe and will be twittering again tonight (their day). I don't even know these people, but I am worried for them.

My thoughts/prayers/wishes go to all those who have passed on and to all those left behind in grief, danger, or any other bad circumstance.

The last of the stitches fell out this evening. And now the reality of how weird it looks and feels is hitting.

Feeling slightly freaked out...
