Yesterday I didn't have to go to work until 3 so I took the morning to have a little me time and started working on a new afghan. This one is a filet crochet block with a dragonfly in it. I am doing it in worsted weight cream colored yarn and it is bigger than I expected, probably close to 20 inches although I haven't measured it yet. The directions given with it use that one square and then a border to make a lapghan. I think I will make probably 6 of those dragonfly blocks and put a border around and between them to make a much larger afghan. I hate skimpy stuff. I am up to starting the first row on the body. I think I will take it to work with me today since I am in the liquor room all day.

My stitching itself has stalled since I have been dealing with a cold for the last 5 days or so. I am getting better but it is hard to concentrate when you can't breathe and all you want to do it sleep. The crocheting is easier to deal with.

My uncle has now completed the beginnings of his chemotherapy and they say there is no trace of the cancer in his blookd right now. I don't know how much that means though becasue I would guess that's like killing the wasp in your kitchen without removing the nest outside your window. until they can get his bone marrow to not produce those cancer cells, there isn't a lot of progress. For now he is feeling pretty good other than dealing with bloating from the chemo. We continue to pray.
