Quick Update

Just a quick update - I'm still alive but my car died :(

I've been trying to navigate homework, parenting, car shopping (and loan shopping) and supporting my stepmother while she went through an unexpected surgery and now, her recovery.

I have managed to knit jus a little and I promise that soon you will see a proper post from me.

Happy Hallowe'en!
(Does anyone know why Halloween used to be spelled like that, with the weird little apostrophe?)

    Samhain
    /saun/ or /SAW in/ [Irish] The first day of November, celebrated by the ancient Celts as a festival marking the beginning of winter and of the new year according to their calendar; All Saint's Day or Hallowmass. cf. Beltane -- Samhain Eve became known as All-Hallows' Even, corrupted to Hallow-e'en and now spelled Hallowe'en or Halloween.

    Sorry to hear about the car - I remember what a hassle it was when my car died and I had MUCH less on my plate! Eeeeep. Hopefully it will be over soon.

    We need to get together to knit one of these days. Miss you.
