The one word that leaped out of this at me, was “methylprednisolone”. Which has been my recent dear croup-kicking companion, and for which I am immensely thankful. Oh look: shiny!!! (Wait, is that ice cream?) Still coming down off the stuff and have zero interest in getting anywhere near a scale. Hang in there, Alison, and I hope you feel much better, very soon.

I tried, but didn’t get it–except that prednisone is not the best treatment. What color is it? I remember making a nice baby blanket for my second grandchild and hating it the whole time because it was YELLOW!
My knitting mentor said it was because yellow was ugly against my hands. LOL.

Translation, Please? Translation in Aisle Three!

Well, at least you’ll never have Sissy’s clinically documented ‘roid rage…

don’t you hate those days when you have to do all that paperwork stuff?

can’t wait to see what you’re knitting

Well, I almost understood what that paper said. A good thing that you do.

Ah, you understand that when you’re making something for someone else, it is for their enjoyment, not necessarily yours.

Ah, to be the exception rather than the rule. Failing that – knitting is always good.

I have the “grown-up day” tomorrow, not exactly fond of bill paying and phone calling. You can see the look of happiness of the person you are knitting for in the shawl you are knitting .
