Can't stand it any more.

Had to get up and move about. Haven't had a decent nights' sleep in 2 weeks from the lack of activity. And I love to sleep! 8-9 hours every night, deep sleeper, little wakes me. But not lately. I'm up all night long, itching to get out of my skin and its forced slothfullness. This lying about and doing absolutely Nothing is torture. Might be different if I was doing it whilst lying on some warm sandy beach somewhere, instead of spending 2 weeks, day and night, glued to an uncomfortable sofa. I've finally moved back to our bed on Sunday night, which is infinitely more comfortable, until one lies awake and tosses and turns whilst trying NOT to wake up light-sleeper dearest hubby. Blech.

So, I'm doing laundry and dishes and might make some risotto later, as no-one tells you what those drugs I've had to take DO to your GI system, once you come off them. I just move from one hell to another, waiting for it all to end. I'd like the past 3.5 weeks of my life back, please!!

I swatched the Peace Fleece worsted wt last night, with 8's (5 mm) and got a nice 4.25 sts and 6 rows/1" gauge. Good fabric at that gauge, not too tight, nor too loose. Washed the swatch and left it on the radiator overnight. Remained the same gauge - good.

So much to do, so little time left.....
