Birds and Frogging

Angel update: She got her last dose of antibiotic last night. She is taking some tentative steps but she is also still stumbling and falling a lot. Periodically I have to right her after she gets stuck on her back. She has started pecking seeds from the floor and even grooming herself a bit! We are still spending a LOT of time together but she seems to be OK with me handling her. We have even figured out how to get most of her meds in her instead of on her face. Some of her feathers are a stuck together, red, and crunchy from the antibiotics so I tried to was her face a couple of times yesterday. She wasn't keen on the idea tho she did seem to like my towel drying her! She still has the 2nd med to continue but we are dropping it down to every other day for a while (then every 3rd, etc).
Teddy is still noticeably quieter than normal but he isn't constantly watching over her. Maybe they have gotten used to my holding her up so they can 'talk' and see each other...

I had a few inches done on Marina Piccolla when I brought it to knitting group Tuesday. I know some of the pattern was getting lost in the yarn colors but I just wanted to knit! They suggested that I pick a different pattern for the Tofutsies and a different yarn for Marina.

Took me a few days but I ripped it out. AGAIN!

Thursday I wasn't feeling so great but I did go to work anyway. And that night I managed to cast on for Simply Lovely Lace Socks from Interweave Spring 06. Yesterday I was feeling even worse so... Guess I gotta stay home and knit all day, right?!?!? I slept till noon and puttered around the house a little but I did get the cuff pretty much done before heading off to bed last night. I sometimes work 2 socks at once but with all the knitting and ripping I've done on this one, I'm only working one at a time.

Much better pattern for the yarn. You get a gold star for perseverance!
