Thanks so much, Margaret. I don't really feel like everyone has to weigh in on my whining....But, I honestly do appreciate it. Funnily enough, was at the hematologist today for the "I must see you before you get the ucky infusion treatment lab & check" visit. He's a great guy & as I'm one of his few long term patients (being essentially an oncologist) & we share some friends told me that he was amazed that I actually looked better than when he saw me last month - he was quite worried then. Hah - maybe the car accident invigorated me in some way that I was angry - made him chuckle. And, then - that after 6 years he just then realized the color of my eyes as I was wearing a very pale kind of limey- citron colored shirt. "Hey - your eyes are that yellow pale on the inside & blue outside not green like I thought!" Yup -I said - so we discussed the optical color mixing - like with threads - it's an illusion and only noticable when I wear certain things. This is true - DH says they're "xotic" - my DB says just weird - though his oldest son's eyes are almost the same - yellowish to very lightist green inner, with blue rims outer . Of course as I'm telling the Indian doctor - yes - now imagine 20 years ago my travelling around south India - I had quite a trail of school children following this redhead with the pale eyes. That was a highlight for both of us - so my goofiness continues as I ignore my aching head. DH is convinvced that logic and geometry say I actually hit my head on the sunroof/moonroof opening rim and then back against the seat, and that's why it's sore on such a big area across the crown.

Whatever. I'm just off kilter.

Happy almost weekend to everyone - and stitch away - I'm still stitching vicariously.
