"Kathy, this is the worst time of day, nearing five, gloom ubiquitous as harm, work shifts changing. And our lives are on the line. Until we die our lives are on the mend." Richard Hugo (found here this morning).
I've had an ear ache the last couple days (feeling better today). A friend suggested a warm wash cloth might feel good and that reminded me that I had a hot water bottle I'd never used. It helped a lot.
As these things happen for me, I laided the hot water bottle next to my current weaving project, a sample to see how a knit t-shirt would weave up. It will make a lovely cover for the hot water bottle. I do like the way the knit shaped up and hope it washes well...
