I'm still here. It's been a busy week. I missed two days of sock knitting last weekend when I developed the closest thing to a migraine I've ever had. But as of right now I have one sock done and the second sock is about to turn the heel, so I may just finish by the time the torch goes out. Oh, and I stepped back from the abyss and am only doing the short sleeved cardigan for hand relief.

I will be gone all next week for web training in Shenandoah National Park. NPS.gov is undergoing a phenomenal change that has to be completely done by the end of the fiscal year and since I've got two web sites under my direction that need to be developed, I'm going to be a busy ranger for the next seven months. Girlcub is distraught that I won't be around next week, but I've been giving her lots of attention and I've promised that I'll call her every night. I'm all set though and have discovered a yarn shop located on the same road as my hotel. I'll try to restrain myself. (Shuh.)

Finally, as proof of my mad mothering skillz, Boycub dropped this little bomb in the back seat this afternoon-- "[Sister] you're a pain in the ass!"

Ugh. I bet he can spell it, too.
