http://gellychan.friendlinkup.com/ A blog by gellychan en http://gellychan.friendlinkup.com/2009/04/06/negative-and-positive.html It’s been a while since I wrote.  To be honest I’ve been struggling to find much positive to say, as well as to write only about the negative is too miserable.  So, getting the down side over with: My Grandmother’s body is still in Spain.  It could be another 3 weeks before her funeral; My Dad’s neighbour as well as long-time family friend died of cancer.  Her funeral is on Thursday; My Mum has pre-cancerous cells as well as probably needs a full hysterectomy sometime soon; We have a big meeting at work on Thursday morning, when we shall probably (hopefully?) find out our future; I’m signed off work on behalf of two weeks (half way through now) as I’m too sleepy to drive or concentrate. Moving swiftly on with positives: I’m signed off work - lots of time on behalf of knitting as well as reading, when I can stay awake; I’m starting to feel better, even reducing the dose of co-codamol so I’m a bit less stupid; Knitting, did I draw attention to knitting? I could probably put in some pictures here, but I don’t really feel like it.  I have re-started the net curtain on behalf of the dining room, which I began ages ago.  I was using very fine needles, as the open lace pattern I was getting on fat needles didn’t look right.  I re-started in a new pattern on fatter ones, realised it would still take forever, as well as started yet again on the fattest ones I have.  It’s coming along, but shall still take a while.  Of course, I’m also knitting socks.  Mmmmmm…socks.  I’m using some Tofutsies yarn as well as it’s lovely.  Anyway, can’t stay here chatting all day, I’m off to knit.
