It has been one of those years. My niece had her tonsils removed and part of her uvula in March for which I was there. Shortly after her husband moved in with me because he got a job here. May we went out for her graduation and moved them here, they lived in my basement for 6 months. Now I am slowly putting my house back together. If that isn't enough to discombobulate one, the real reason has to be that I have NOT knitted one pair or socks this year. That is so unlike me. SO since we celebrated Christmas yesterday because they are working lots of hours tomorrow I shall spend the day in quiet solitude making a pair of socks.
