*tink*tink*tink*

In the past four days, the sound of *tink*tink*tink* has echoed through the bedroom.  It means the ratio of knitting and ripping has been equal.  What did I expect from a semi-drugged brain?  It's a good thing that other avocations, such as movie-watching and book reading don't follow the same model.  Can you picture the backwards motion of the movie unfolding on the DVD, as I discover, yet again, that the semi-drugged brain didn't watch it correctly, and it now needs to be undone and then watched yet again?

Projects are stalled:  the Marla sweater in Alchemy Synchronicity may be too stiff a fabric.  I need an objective opinion on that, which won't happen for about two weeks.  I need to order the Rowan Wool Cotton, which did work out quite well for the next husband sweater.  The alpaca lace scarf (my one previous WIP) is far too complex for the current state of convalescence.  I cast on for the Irish Hiking scarf.  (What an optimist!)

I'm ashamed to admit how many movies I've watched since Tuesday evening.  Netflix makes this quite convenient.  I started "Wicked", by Gregory Maguire.  It tells the tale of Dorothy and the trip through Oz from the Wicked Witch of the West's viewpoint.  Most disturbing is how I feel I've been wiped from the face of the Earth.  Is this a harbinger of what happens to one's identity in death?  No face time, no existence?  The blog world, and on-line retail has been the only antidote.  I have ten more days of enforced life-with-foot-elevated time.

If anyone has suggestions for websites that are entertaining, time-wasting, and amusing, I would welcome the opportunity to check them out.

OK, first off, hold everything. Stop with the lace. Drugged brains shouldn't knit lace. Socks are the ticket. Something you've made before, something simple. Something very repetitive so drugged-brain doesn't have to think. Something you can do while watching many movies.

Second. Send me your address, via email please.

I'm working my way through old TV show reruns on DVD...Netflix has a lot. The current one is Star Trek Voyager. Everything I read or watched during the first week with my brain on percocet was just sort of a waste. I agree with the socks idea.
