Rippit Rippit

Yesterday I spend a fair bit of time in the frog pond. I ripped back my Martha Poncho. It was all just silly mistakes but I think I have it on track now. I am really wanting to cast on Susanne's poncho pattern and and and....... oh the list just never ends!

Since Sunday we have been having some rain and showers. It really hasn't amounted to much as far as accumpulations but it is helping to clean things up and green things up as well. I love the smell after a nice rain. We are still fairly overcast today, but they are saying that it is suppose to clear up. I hope so as the energy levels in my house are a bit high today and these guys really need to burn off some energy.

Yesterday I started taking my hemp hearts. I read the package and one thing other than the omega's that I noticed was they are high in iron, so that is another added bonus for me. I am hoping that they don't bother my system and that I am able to take them as they really do sound like they are good for you.

Yesterday also got Ryan's ticket all arranged so he can come home. It is going to be so good to have him home for the week. I know it has been difficult on him being so far away when Dad has been sick. The two of them have a pretty special bond. I sure hope that we can keep it a surprise that he is coming home.

Dad will be down today for his doctor's appointment. I imagine he will stop around the house when he is finished. He has done so well with all of this and just sort of taken it as it comes, but I am starting to think that it is starting to wear on him. His hands and feet have really started bothering him and that constant pain does tend to get you down. And now his back is bothering him so that is not helping at all I am sure. He really hasn't complained much at all through all of this, but that is changing so you just have to know that he has had enough.
