Rule of Thumb

this morning i drove into boston for a doctor's appointment. (by the way, if your thumb gets a sore on it that doesn't get better in a day or two with antibiotic ointment and a bandaid, go to the doctor. don't wait for two months in the hopes that your super-human immune system will fight the infection. it won't. and the doctor and your husband just end up thinking you're crazy. all's well though. nothing that 14 days of oral antibiotics won't cure).

when i got back home, J was out front doing a little exacavation work. not a shovel and hoe for J. nooooo, when he excavates .... he excavates.

by the way, i'll be lucky if i can get him down from there ... ever.

i also have a new neighbor. her name is sarah and she's 5 days old. i finished her blanket just in time.

by the way, don't tell anyone, but, um, i made it out of acrylic yarn....shhhh
