I’m Beautiful Like Me.

The afghan is coming along. I’ve completed all 16 of the smallest squares, all 5 middle-sized squares and 1.5 of the 3 largest squares. It’s turning out rather nice, but I’m still nervous. I can’t quite understand what about Granny Squares makes me nervous, but I worry that things come together the way they ought to. I worried this way during the making of the Li’l Monkey afghan and they turned out rather nice, thank you very much. Still, I’m nervous.

I’ve been neglecting my reading. I started Restaurant at the End of the Universe months ago and never finished it. Hell, I never got far. I’m too consumed with the numerous crocheting books, 200 Crochet Blocks and Stitch ‘n Bitch. I did pick up Storm Front, the first in the Dresden Files series, upon recommendation from P’s husband. I’ve read like 4 pages. Hopefully, I can carve out more time for reading soon.

I have listened to the entirety of Anne of Green Gables via Podcast provided by LibriVox. It was the first book I’ve ever listened to and I must admit that I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I’m currently looking into listening to the rest of the series.

Poor Husband. On Sunday night, he didn’t call on his lunch break. This is very unusual. After some time, I finally called him and got no answer. Eventually he called me and gave me the bad news: he had hurt himself at work. Luckily, it was just a strain and nothing too serious. When he went to his boss to tell him, his boss would not let Husband out of his sight. He put him in a cab and the cab took him to the hospital. They gave him some meds and an appointment at their doctor’s office the following morning. He came home very early.

The next morning he went to his appointment and they gave him more meds, told him to rest and he’d be okay to go back to work on Wednesday. He spent the better part of his days off in bed atop a heating pad, sleeping. I had to wake him this afternoon at 4:15pm to get ready for work. On his lunch, he called as usual and said he was going to come home, that his back was still hurting pretty badly. I can only imagine, as his job is very physically strenuous. On an unhappy note, the meds he’s taking make him rather cranky while he’s awake. Hopefully when he sees the company doctor again tomorrow, they will give him some good news or some better meds.
