And now we have a cold too? Nice....

O.k. so here's the count... I didn't knit Monday.  I tried to knit for a little while yesterday and I just barely got 30 minutes in, but that's all.  I'm not going to knit today.  I'm sick and I hate the idea of getting germs on Owen's blanket.  (I realize that he's not coming for a few more weeks and it will get washed before he uses it, but still.....)

I have another project to add to the list.  Smith (the only girl in Jerry's unit) is pregnant and so I will be making her something.  Jerry THINKS she is having a boy and is due in April, so I will use the light blue and try making him a sweater.  Jerry is not always so good with the details, so I am using a really light blue just in case. 

I measured Owen's blanket this weekend and I was at 18 inches or so.  That almost half way done with the body of it, so I'm doing pretty good.  I should be able to get it done in a couple of weeks and move on to Jerry's hat.  That will take me maybe 1 night of watching a movie and then I'll go to Smith's baby sweater.  I think that sounds like a plan.  Flores' wife isn't due until this summer, so I'm good there. :) 

Prozac update:  I have an appointment with my doctor Feb. 8th.  That was the first I could get in.  So I'll just try not to kill anyone between now and then!  Shouldn't be too hard.  Jerry is on guard and Gabriel has that "I'm cute" defense.  Everyone else can just be warned and choose to come over here or not.  LOL  I've found, though, that since I'm not working my depression isn't as bad.  I have PMDD, so my hormones take my stress and blow it out of proportion for a week or so a month and since I don't have that stress... well, its not as bad. 

No stress from the attorneys and no stress of losing our income and home (the Army doesn't fire you AND they provide our home and utilities, so there you go) makes for much better PMDD management.  I mean... I have other stress, but I think some of that is easier for me to leave up to the Lord.  I should leave it all up to the Lord, but the pressures of work were up to me to handle.  The stresses I have now... war, deployment, our stupid government... I have no control over so there is not point in getting too upset about it.  And like I said... Gabriel has that added defense that as soon as he does something annoying, he acts really cute to make up for it. 

O.k. I better go find out where my husband is... he should have been home from PT about 20 minutes ago for a shower and breakfast.
