February, continued

I baked cookies Sunday and sent them to Steph in Boston. They should arrive today so she has them for Valentine’s day. I took a picture of them before shipping so if they arrive in crumbs, she can read the love in the photo.

This a knitting blog, so I feel obliged to give you a knitting update. We rescheduled yesterday’s after-work knitting night to next Tuesday. I finished another pair of wrist warmers over the weekend (just like the navy and light blue ones but these are dark green and gray, pretty). And I’m working on replicating what I would consider to be a vintage Christmas stocking for a friend. More on that as it progresses.

In my world, it’s still February. Last night, while I was on the phone with my pharmacy ordering up blood pressure medicine (which, believe me, I sorely need), my husband yells from the kitchen, “Barb, help me, quick …!” I rushed in to find him desperately supporting the middle shelf of one of the upper cabinets. I grabbed plates and moved them to the counter top. He finished gathering together his snack, grabbed a beer and said “Well, I’m going to go watch the Timberwolves.” And walked away from the mess. I called the pharmacy back. Like I said, I need that blood pressure medicine.

Update on the kitchen light fixture: After work I’m headed to Menards to get supplies to repair that cabinet, and to return the light fixture I bought last week. Well, here’s the update: I bought the new fixture, called the handyman to come by and install it, left work early to meet him at the house. I got there, he got there … he changed the light BULB in the old fixture, I paid him $15. Done. It works. What can I say, it’s February.

And after Menards, I’ll go pick up that prescription. Which I sorely need.
