When I Type “Blood”, Do You Faint?
The bag hanging above me was about half-way through its drip, drip, drip efforts to complete my second blood transfusion of the day yesterday. My count headed down towards 8.3 or so, prompting a new reload. As I understand it from what the doctors said, my two successive treatments of chemo (with the second being significantly stronger than the first) are what can make things take a bit longer. So we’re still watching and waiting as we head through the weekend and into next week.
Knitting On Another Planet
I’m going to see how far I can get through my second ball of yarn this weekend. Our dear friend Victoria sent me a books-on-CD version of Neal Stephenson’s novel Anathem; this weekend I’m going to see if I can listen to it while knitting at the same time. I know I can do stitches successfully with music, and even with football narration from the TV. This challenge will be actually paying attention to the words I’m hearing while continuing my Knit-2-Purl-1 pattern. Hell, if Judas Priest didn’t disrupt it, a fun mind-stretch of a story would seem pretty weak in comparison, right? 🙂
