During 4th of July weekend my 6'2" 19 yr old nephew kicked me in the head, specifically my right ear underwater in our pool. The result of that was a perforated eardrum. Never having had the pleasure of this experience I had absolutely no idea how uncomfortable this injury can be. The hole in my eardrum was in no big hurry to heal up so it has been a drawn out process. Right now I am left with cicadas buzzing in my head 24/7. I can tell you there is nothing more annoying than that type of sound that will not go away EVER!!!! The doctors keep assuring me it will get better, but I confess to having my doubts. So far the little beasts continue to party on in my head. As a result I have been knitting and crocheting like a madwoman to distract myself. I continue to make cloths for the kitchen and I don't think I will ever use a sponge or dishcloth again after making my own with cotton yarn. They are with out a doubt the best ever. We are off to Denver next week to be with my mom for the 1st anniversary of my dad's passing and spend a couple of days with friends up in the mountains as well. As a thank you for our friends I made some wine bottle bags which we will fill with some nice bottles of wine. I also made baby-to-be Liam a car seat cozy and a beanie. Krissy has informed me that I need to remember he is a boy sooooo I made the cozy with camo yarn. It turned out adorable as did the hat (I used the camo yarn on that as well). Finally, my companion when I am sitting in my favorite chair knitting is Romeo, our gay blade Italian Greyhound. I love that little grey boy, he warms my heart and is a constant reminder of what it means to be unconditionally loved.
