My ears are healing well. Still crusty, but hey, I removed a fair bit of skin and cartilage. I expect it to take a while to heal. All things considered, they are doing well. My wrist is pretty much healed up as well. I wanted to go in and work on the bird tomorrow, but my sitter is unavailable. Maybe next week. No, next week we’re having cake for Malachai. Maybe the week after.
I ordered some knitting books from KnitPicks.com. Their books are 40% off, so it was totally justifiable, seeing as I ordered two books I’ve been eyeballing for quite some time and couldn’t justify. I almost got both for the price of one. I use the KnitPicks interchangeable needle set. One of my friends got it for me last year, and I have used the fuck out of it. Well, I had recently ordered some extra connector cables, and it pulled out of it’s seating. I contacted KnitPicks and without a question they sent me another pair of connectors. I had offered to send the broken set back, and they said to just dispose of them. I was most impressed with their customer service and prompt delivery. I’ve ordered from them quite a bit in the past and never had a problem and so had never dealt with customer service. I was very pleased to find out their quality extended from their products to their care.
I also ordered some stuff for Shiva that she needed. Not knitting stuff, some stuff from BabyBecause.com. I needed a new diaper bag, and I picked up some training pants. I need to get a covered trashbin as well, but I can get it for less from Target (to use as a diaper pail). I did not buy more disposable diapers today, we’re switching back to 100% cloth. I am hoping it encourages her to get out of them quicker.
Gave Sasha her bath today. Sara was brushing her and stopped and put the brush down. Sasha took her paw and put iton top of the brush, sort of pushing it towards Sara. Smart lil doggie we got. I just wish she would heal quicker!
Now onto my social commentary…
“Idol” Contestant in Labor Nails Audition
I don’t really have anything to say about this. I hate that people assume that pregnant women in the early stages of labor have to be at the hospital now. They probably don’t. The baby was born the next day, so either she had a long delivery or she was really in the very early stages. Why is this even news? Women go into labor in weird places all the time and ignore it and continue on with what they were doing.
This one is pissing me off because he was already getting divorced. He should be suing over the additional money they are costing him, not the divorce itself. Of course, also, why the hell is this news, and maybe they are reporting it wrong anyway.
