socks for Katie, plus a lesson in stress and the immune system.
sock #1
The second sock is nearly at the heel part, so I will finish it when I’m in Honduras next week. I’ll mail them to you when I get home! It has made me so happy to make them for you, and I look forward to making the next pair, too. I’ll use a different pattern, of course.
As immune systems will do, mine crashes after a prolonged period of stress. It’s been working and working, carrying me through the stress, and when the stress backs off just a little bit, crash. It’s kind of fascinating, if you ask me. My stress is still very intense; I woke up at 4:45am this morning so I could get to work early. But I guess the relief is coming, so crash. So just in time for my beach vacation: a cold, thankyouverymuch. Still, I’d rather be there with a cold than at my desk with a cold. If I have to have one.
Off to have a steaming bowl of tomato soup and an intense regimen of ColdCalm. And early to bed, so I can early to rise again tomorrow.
Yay! They’re so super cute! Looking forward to them. I hope you find the relaxation you need on your vacation. I’ll be thinking about you!
I’m so sorry to hear about your cold! I recognize that syndrome, though — every academic I know spends at least some of their holiday break sick; we can’t afford it during the semester, but come a break, then wham! I hope yours goes away quickly so you can enjoy your time in the sun. That’s a lovely sock, by the way, the colors are beautiful.
