CountryMouse's Refuge

Egads, where did the day go?! Late breakfast, reading, knitting, being online.

Bunnicula went back over to the shopping center this afternoon and got me four more skeins of Lily Sugar'n Cream, plus a crochet hook. I thought I'd misplaced one of a set, so I had him get me that one to fill out my Boye Crochet Master set. I don't even *like* Boye hooks anymore, but that empty loop in the case bothered me. :-P Turns out I found the hook (after he got back home, naturally!): it's in with the little baby banana amigurumi I haven't finished!

I LOVE Susan Bates hooks now! They go into the stitches better and hook the yarn neatly and smoothly and come back out with no problems. Also their hooks are consistently the correct size they have marked on the shaft. With Boye (and old Hero) hooks, I always have to check with a needle gauge.

Cat'r has a cold again, so he won't be coming up this weekend. :-(

He had a cold, then a stomach virus a couple weeks ago. He got over all that, but I think his immune system just hadn't gotten back up to par when he ran into another virus.

So he's gonna sleep a lot and all the other usual things one does to feel better and get better.

Feel Better, Ernest! errr Cat'r!

What I have been twittering about today:

• 01:29 @FLNonficwriter Thanks about the washcloths! They are really relaxing to do. Today I started two for Mama and one for charity. #
• 01:32 @7thscreen SO happy Daniel is doing so much better!!! #
• 01:32 @gqandy Hope you are better SOON! #
• 01:34 @DianthusX Trying to imagine what Squee would use as currency with which to tip...heh. :-P #
• 01:36 Okay, need to get to sleep NOW. 'Night all. :-) #
• 09:59 @bizarra Please keep us updated on your Grandma--more on Yahoo! 360*? Or Tinkerville? Praying for your Grandma and family and you. #
• 17:13 @indigonightbird Cool pics! Do you have to chase Pave? Is it one day only? How do you stay on paths if chasing/searching?? #
• 17:16 @FLNonficwriter I'm going to make one of those crochet wraps/cases like yours. Would Quicksilver hooks fall out more easily do you think? #
• 17:20 @FLNonficwriter Urgh nuts. I need storage for Quicksilvers that I had to buy loose. Ideas? Ten hooks! #
• 17:23 @FLNonficwriter Just found this! tinyurl.com/bg2jeu #
• 17:26 @indigonightbird Ah ok. I feel depressed about missing so much in AC:CF. Living room still a mess, Wii put away. :-( #
• 17:27 @FLNonficwriter The Google is my friend. :-P #
• 17:54 @indigonightbird True, plus I only need one thing in the Mush series: the flooring. And you gave me Jingle stuff. :-) Thanks again! #
• 17:55 @7thscreen DH has had this up for days--he needs to update: www.bookmice.net/darkchilde/spirit/healing.html #
• 17:59 @inkophile Ack! Link to your favourite Lamy not working! #
• 18:12 @inkophile Gorgeous pen! Looks like the Studio in Bronze that I've been wanting. Does it have a soft feel? Or hard lacquer? #
• 18:30 @inkophile Let us know when you get it how it feels. Blue one has that plush pettable feel! #
• 18:34 @7thscreen We'll keep the good energies going, just to be sure! :-) #
• 18:48 @inkophile I think the Studio *is* almost too heavy for my hand, but I love that soft feel of Cat'r's blue one. #
• 18:49 Need to go eat something. BBIAB...or so. :-P #
• 21:00 @7thscreen Yay! You go, Daniel! :-) :-) This has been one miraculous ride! I hope his mom is able to relax a bit now, poor lady! #
• 21:04 @JaneBunny I can't find How Stuff Works as a podcast at the iTunes store. What is the exact title? #
• 21:42 @JaneBunny Thanks! D/L'ing lots! :-) #
