Knitting Nurse

Comments?(0)

I am in Washington State with some army stuff I'm doing and will be here for another 14 days or so.  I am a nurse, obviously, but because I am enlisted I have been tasked to be a driver, fun.  I still have hope to go hiking, but I need to find someone to go with me for safety reasons.  I will probably rent a car and go.  Mt Reiner is one of my main stops I want to get to, but Seattle yarn shops are up on the list too.  I just hope I can get my rear in gear and go do the things instead of sitting and doing nothing.

I am making soap bags like crazy as they take me about an hour to make and they fit so easily in my pockets.  I need to start making them shorter, like 3 ½ to 4 in instead of 4.5in.  I can’t wait to get back home for my SFS package so I can start knitting my first SFS sock.  I do need to get going on the pair I have cast on now though, I think I will bring them with me driving tomorrow, I should have time to knit on them. 

‘Till the next time I can get internet access. . . .

Some days I just hate ignorant people.  Usually I'm just irritated with them, but today/Sunday, I truly wanted to tell them off.  I went to church and from there I decided to go to the humane society to get a fur fix since my baby is visiting her semi perm home for the next 3 weeks while I'm away.  I had finished playing with the kitties and stopped in to see the puppies, there were two women in there looking at a dog and as I was washing my hands to leave I overheard one say to the other, "6 years, why would someone get rid of their dog after 6 years?"  I piped up saying "sometimes situations change, for example military personnel might be moved to a place where they are unable to keep their pet."  This lady then has the balls to say, "Well then why did they get the animal in the first place then?"  this ticked me off to no end that only those who could see into the future and know there life will never be changing, could get a pet, so I replied "they get lonely too" when I really wanted to hand her ass on a platter, but I had just come from church, so I took a deep breath and left.  I opened my windows of my car, turned up the radio and relaxed as best I could.  I just could not believe her gal.  My own personal situation with this scenario was that 3 of my buddies adopted 3 sibling kittens from a liter.  One of these soldiers did not know his orders until the week before our graduation from training.  At that point he was unable to get the paperwork to the airline to bring his cat with him and did not have anyone at home that would be able to take his cat, so he was going to give Onyx to Pet Co.  I stepped in and took his cat home with me and she is having the time of her life eating chipmunk-sickles and mouse pâté.  But case in point, should he not have had his cat that he loved for a year just because he did not know he would be unable to take her with him?  I say no.  If I was forced to leave tomorrow, I am blessed to have my parents close by who would foster my cat until I was able to get her or come home.  I hope I will never have to give my girl up, and would be crushed if I did, but I refuse to be held back from the love of my cat just because a possibility is possible!

Spay and neuter your pets!
