More Than 7 Post this Year

So, I'm just gonna rattle on about nothing. We got some weather last night. After a week of spring time temps and all the snow melting we got about 6 inches of wet snow last night. We really need the snow for the economy. It brings skiers and snowmobilers to the area. Since most of our economy is based on tourism the snow is much appreciated. Thanks Mother Nature!
R is headed back to college this weekend. I'll miss her again. She monitors my eating habits, she's a good mom for me.
I'm trying a new doctor next week. I'm tired of the pill pushing MD's I've been seeing. Lately they haven't even looked at me, just my numbers in my file. How impersonal. I've been suffering with a numb thumb and discomfort in my upper back for three years. I did PT for a year with some relief. The only other suggestion was surgery. I think there are less invasive ways for treatment. That, and the only other thing the MD's are concerned with are some skin tags I've developed so they all think I should have a colonoscopy, to see if I have colon polyps; who cares if there are no other symptoms! I'm 44 with no other symptoms, they just want to poke around and haven't listened to me at all.
Knitting-wise I finished a UFO that's been floating around for months. R and I dyed the last of my Bare from KnitPicks and I started T's socks to match his tractors. R is my first daughter to learn to knit!
