Triple D and Stuff

Sigh.........it's happening again. I often wonder if she will stop before she kills herself.

She was doing ok after her arrest. We decided to bail her out. I'm of a firm mind set that drug addicts do not belong in prison. I'm not sure where they belong but prison is not the place.

I thought pretty much she was using again 2 weeks ago. I always get this feeling of impending doom.....call it gut instinct. We've been testing her regularly and randomly. We did not get any positive results. I asked The Engineer if he knew of any drugs that wouldn't test out and he couldn't think of anything.

So last night I found her stash. A bunch of syringes and spoon with Roxy residue and low and behold.......a few pawn shop receipts.

We may be out 22K if she doesn't show up for court. I may try to get her bondsman to revoke her bail........don't know yet what this future will hold.

On a positive note.......I've been knitting my brains out. Here are just a few of my completed projects

Cabled Knit Cap

Cabled Scarf

Raglan Sleeve Sweater (I look like a wooly mammoth in it!)

Felted Slouch Bag

I find that this activity is stress relieving. Too bad I couldn't knit me a river.....it would flow for miles and miles. I don't want to add up the cost of my endeavors but I'm sure I've not spent as much as a therapist would cost.

I had arthroscopic (good thing for spell check. I thought you spelled that surgery with an "O") surgery on my knee back in May and am almost good as new. I'm back out on the tennis courts with a bit of swelling and stiffness but soon.........it'll be all good.

I'm leaving next week to go home to take care of mom. She had a total knee replacement last Tuesday. So far she is not home because she is running a fever but hopefully she will get to go home soon. I don't want to stay there if she is still hospitalized. The nurses are saying she may have to go to a rehab facility if she doesn't get her strength back quicker. I don't get it. Of course her strength is bad...she has just spent 3 days total bed rest and they are feeding her a healthy dose of morphine........what do they expect???

The Engineer and I are planning a trip to the Galapagos Islands in November. This, I can't wait for!!! The Anahi is the boat we plan to take. It's and 8 day cruise and then we will spend a few days in Ecuador.

Embassy Scarf (Knit Scene, Summer 2011)

I'm knitting this wrap to take with me since it will be a bit chilly. I'm using a cotton and bamboo yarn that feels really yummy!!

Out of here for now.
