We’re just keeping an even keel, trying not to let the two week crap storm hang over our heads, trying to be pro-active and forward looking. It’s helpful that it’s almost September, a time of new beginnings, because it feels like a good time to turn a page.

Holding Pattern
Well, I went to Indiana to take Andy to school. It just seemed that so much sh*t had hit the fan, I felt a bit like a wreck, and I wanted to go. So my inner 6-year old went, and I was along for the ride. And I think overall it was a good thing…
Happy News!
We have some happy news for Patty D! She’s the winner of our ball of ModeWerk Bulky, and as an extra bonus I actually FIXED the shopping cart button so folks can order this yarn (man, THAT was bad planning… having a broken button on a website that we were promoting…) So if you tried…

Last week was one of the monthly meetings of Gerry’s Stillwater Multiple Myeloma Support Group.
