A bunch of you have sent emails with well-wishes for my Mom. I appreciate it so very much. I talked with Dad this morning. The surgery was a bit more complicated and the post-op course a bit more involved than we would like, but Dad insists that her spirits are great, and that she should be home by the end of the week.
I've been (of course) working, and during my after-work-for-a-few-minutes-before-sleep time have made great progress on The Newsboy Cap from Stitch’n’Bitch Nation (aka the chemo hat). I started it on Saturday at Knit Happens where I got hugs and support from some of the Irregulars. Stephanie and Carol and Holly and Kelly and Courtney and Brittany; and Shelley were there. It was just what I needed. I'm in the last few rows of the main part of the hat, and then will work on the brim. I'm doing it in coral CashMarino Chunky, and it's very soft and cheery looking.
Wanna see what the finished cap looks like in green? Go visit Lara
Mom's also getting this:
In other news, I got an email from the publisher, and the article is in peer review. I'll have some tightening to do, but it's minimally invasive and very manageable. The next hurdle is the book chapter, but it should be pretty straightforward and relatively painless.
Other than that, I plan to sort through mail, tidy the family room, and of course knit. And maybe start the slipcover for The Daughter’s living room chair. Or maybe I'll take a nap.
Such will be my day off.

Thanks for dropping by at my blog. The hat pattern was my own. I have not written it up yet, but I will, just as soon as this week quietens down a little
