dear diary

its been a while since i last post.

Late in May my Patrick was stolen and i have been very depressed.

i hope that whoever has taken my boy is loving him.

i am just now starting to knit again and i finally found the rose for Octavia.

all in all it has not been a fun year.

missing kitty

Its been about 2 weeks now since i last saw Patrick. My little Patter-cat has been stolen by some evil person. i hope he will escape them and come home.

camera phone

I have to say that I am totally impressed by the camera on my phone. the clarity of the pictures is wonderful. the best thing is that I can sneak in for a better angle than I ever could with my minolta or yoshika slr. I will never give them up but I must say that I am willing to branch into the field of digital

Robbie is such a handsome little cat.

updates

I now have my car. YEAH!!!

a glacier blue CR-V '08 now the fun part getting it paid off. as well as other bills.

my Isolde still has not had her dental appointment but she is doing better under the antibiotics and i had not realised just how little she had been eating. so now she is eating and pooping like a younger cat. yes this makes me happy. other cats in the colony have had eye issues lately- i think it is allergy as they lay out in the wind with the pollen balls flying around. if i catch them i rinse their eyes they do not seem sick in any other way.

about me i need to take better care of myself beyond starting to get manicures - the migraines seem to be under control. and the rite size bra is helping my self esteem. but the back aches are still there and pain has been going down my left leg.. so i need to get serious about finding a health regime and follow it.

now to the important things YARN. I got my order from Virtual Yarns the colour is SO gorgeous
i keep petting it. I am working on my swatch now to check the gauge. I know Starmore patterns are on a tight gauge and i tend to knit loose so this will be a challenge my hand hurt thinking about it. and to help keep my hands relaxed i am going to switch out between projects of different size needles and of course frequent kitty petting and grooming

and the car is....

i so thought i was going to get the HONDA FIT, it was just so fun looking. then i really saw it nice shape kewl color, all the bells and whistles, and just how low slung it was. there was no way it would get into my parking spot let alone over a speed bump. and to think of when i have to go up north and drive down dirt roads.

So no. no cute little FIT. i ended up with another CR-V, in glacier blue metalic the color of my Isolde's eyes. i was 4 hours at the dealership, and now own a new '08. i always thought i would buy preowned, but a new was actually cheaper--go figure.

I did get some knitting done which was good. my Octavia is coming together. I still cant believe i am willingly knitting a pink pullover. it seems pale to me so who knows maybe i will dye it later to a darker shade but it will stay pink. i miss that little cat.

new car

no i do not have it yet, i did make an appointment to look at a Honda FIT. will that be my new car? i miss my CR-V. and need a car at least tall enough to get up my curb. i think i will go with the red color it my be the best color choice that is available the copper looked palid on the one i saw today and i am not sure what i can tell on the pictures that were posted online. the red stood out but maybe the berry, i have to see the true color to choose.

on to my knitting, my Octavia top is coming together it is not fighting me anymore or i am not fighting it i don't know. i am getting tired of the pink but then i am drawn to pink right now and that in itself is disturbing to me as i despise the color.

car trouble

Yesterday i was in an accident. I was going to work, and the check engine light came on so stupid me i glance down then boom hit with airbag car stopped and my car is kissing another. I was stunned, shaky, could barely think, patted the airbag a couple of times. I heard someone say are you ok? but i could not think to respond. I finally got my cell out and called work to let them know i was in an accident, then called Mom.

I glanced up and saw a family standing at the corner watching, i think it was the passengers of the other car. I reached for the glove box to get my insurance papers, so i could give the people the info and try to call the insurance company. i hung up since i could not concentrate. at that time the Fire Marshall pulled up to find out what happened,and told me to not try to get out of the car. i had just slid my legs out, he got into the back seat and started to prob my neck, then held my head in place until the ambulance got there.

They put a collar on my neck and put me on a back board. I stayed on that board for at least 5 hours. xray and catscan and even a shot of morphin. just laying there doing nothing for 5 hours except feeling my neck and back hurt.

Today i am home waiting for my mom so we can go get a property release form so my car can be picked up from the towyard and the insurance adjuster can look it over. i like my car and i do not want to say good bye to it. and i wait to see my doctors
