• $200 dollar tune up on one car
• husband gets a job with better benefits but much lower pay
• fuel pump goes out in the other car ($360)
• oldest starting college (supplies plus new laptop)
• other two starting school (supplies plus lunch money everyday)
• I may have to pay back almost $2000 to insurance because they, Blue Cross Blue Sheid, don't want to pay for the massages that some clients got in conjunction with their chiro adjustment. They paid for them in Sept. thru Dec. of last year but now they say, "uh, no." Thanks, dickheads.
• Bonus locust. . . gas prices are on their way up and 2 people in my household (husband and oldest son) have to drive 40miles each way to work/school.

Apparently the ebb and flow of life has just hit me with a huge ass undertoe. Lovely.

In knitting news (which is why you are here, right?): Serephim got fucked up over the weekend. DO NOT KNIT LACE WHILE FAMILY IS AROUND!! I dropped some stitiches, thought I picked them up correctly, was interupted several times and lost my place so with just under 20 rows left. . . Anyway, I just bound it off and before blocking I have this:

After I block it, I will post a picture. I am so depressed over it... anyway, I am going back and forth now between size 3 needles and size 10 needles for Icarus and the Interweave Knits shrug:

Interesting how they are both in blue. Kinda how I feel. I can't wait to get the shrug done (god, please let it fit me). This yarn is so soft and warm, I will love wearing it in the fall. Better days, people...Peace~DAWN

Oh, I almost forgot... the Taledaga Nights movie was really funny. It was a bit over the top, but still really good. My favorite character was Ricky's dad (he didn't have a lot of parts, but when he did, I laughed my ass off).
