Saturday Komeekz- Crabby me!

I had a crabby day on Thursday, and this cartoon fit my mood.  Nothing was going right.  It was like I had a Devil sitting on my left shoulder.  I felt not myself and believe me, now I know what people mean when they say they have a devil.  Finally, I  threw some salt over my left shoulder and went to sit by myself until the feelings passed.  It took the entire day!  I've NEVER felt like that before, so my sympathy to people who feel possessed! 

Thank Heaven for Thankful Thursdays.  That post helped to set things right.  Being reminded to be truly thankful can help immeasurably!

The fire just outside of Yosemite had me living on my last nerve.   Two of the kids, possibly three, were back packing in the park, and even though DH pointed out that where they were, and where the fire was, was pretty much from here to Fallbrook, about 50 miles away, it didn't do any good.  I picked fights I was so edgy.

But having lived through three fast moving and huge fires in San Diego in the last two decades, and being evacuated once, I just couldn't settle down.  I wanted to pull my hair out at times and sometimes just wanted to BITE something!   Happily DH stayed well away from me.  And Wolfie was and always be a calming factor. 

That might be a good "Five Minutes" but it's a day late. Sorry!  I'll do better next week, hopefully, since it really is fun to do.

Knitting:  I gave up trying to use long straights mostly because I thought they would be too cumbersome, and now I'm thinking about it again.  Since, in my incredibly VAST supply of knitting needles, I HAVE  NO long sweater needles in size 6.   I will simply have to buy some.  I have everything from 1 to 5, then from 7 to 11.  No 6's.  It's not to be believed!  But I'll go get a pair tomorrow I suppose.    There is one more place to look but what the heck.  I have three pairs of 3s!  The 6s must have fallen down the Rabbit Hole!

 Good News for last:  I am going to get another pair of crocs but the color is a secret.  I've gotten a good lime green pair- about the shade of the grass in front of that rabbit hole - from when the kids were here - and I LOVED THE THINGS!  Being the Luddite that I am, it took me a long time to catch on to the comfortable things!

I'd bore you with a picture but EVERYONE knows what they look like.  I'm hoping to score two pair tomorrow.  And then, over time, a rainbow set?    The Creator did a wonderful thing when colors were made.  Color can go a long way to cheer up someone with a devil living on her shoulder.   *tosses more salt over her left shoulder*.
