Back From the Edge of the World...

Tuesday, right?
It's been a rough week. Sunday was quarterly reports and financials for my client, and by the end of the night, I could tell there was a headache around the edges...Monday dawned in full-blown migraine -I think - after all, I really am beyond those "hormone induced" headaches, at least I should be. Well, there was total intolerance to light and sound, and this time, with the aura came spinning pinwheels of light - normally they just appear with an "eye migraine" with no pain, but THIS time...searing blinding pain and silvery pinwheels. The day was spent in as much darkness as possible, but a short trip to the vet was required, and the screaming cat (one under treatment, not my own) just about brought me to my knees.

Home again, and knitting could take place with bamboo needles - my lovely Addis flash in the reflected light. But only a gartered row, perhaps two.

By evening, the pain was less, the stomach roiling. I went to bed, with enough meds to bring a horse down.

When I woke, the unsettled tummy and disorientated, exhausted self that I was insisted the only option was one more day away from human contacts.

And now tonight, still exhausted, I'd come to realize that my bloglanders have thought I'd disappeared.

Fear not. Tho' my website is again malfunctioning from a darling daughter too intent upon making her mother look as if she's really in the 21st century (when she readily admits herself that I'm not), has been caught by a software that's not working well with our hosting company, and then the programmer herself is under the gun, trying to move, keep a job, her husband and 3 boys sane and sensible thru it all.

I've told her to "trash the flash" as I think, lovely as it is, it really is too much for my customers. I need my customers on dial-up to be able to maneuver my site. In my case, this Flash is one in a pan.

Please bear with us?

And we hope to have a dramatically pared down, simpler site to surf.

If you're aching for a bag - please email me at the address in my sidebar over there? We'll work things thru that way for now. And please accept my apology for the need to do this the old-fashioned way...

I've knit a bit. I'll show you something eventually. 2 rows in a day doesn't make for exciting photos...so I'll leave you with this - my faithful companion who huddled under the covers with me during the crashing and booming of the thunderstorms the past two days (which just about blew my head off my shoulders from the noise...)

She must be feeling better...the camera is out again.
