First, an update on my friend – she is doing as well as we could hope, healing and recovering in the ICU at Stanford. Many ups and downs but she’s made it clear she doesn’t want to go so all we can do is send her our love and strength. My knitting progress on Sherbet…

As you might imagine, it’s been very stressful here, working through my friend’s situation. She’s undergoing surgery again right now… once they’ve got these most critical injuries resolved the orthopedic surgeon says he thinks he should be able to completely reconstruct her pelvis/hip. Her boy stayed with his daddy last night so he could work…

One of my best friends in the world was critically injured yesterday in an automobile accident. Nobody’s fault, slippery mountain road, bad visibility, her van spun out and hit a tree. It was a huge blessing that the two kindergarten-aged children in her car were basically unhurt but she was, as I said, critically injured.…

nI’ve moved all my cooking stuff to a separate blog named [DomestiGirl Cooks!](http://cook.domestigirl.com) Head over there to see my recipes and food musings</editorial note>n nBack to knitting! Yesterday our postal carrier was running very late and didn’t come until dark, so I was pleasantly surprised while making dinner when a package appeared on my doorstep…

On Thursday my friend and I went to Sur La Table to take a class “Pies and Tarts 101”. It was a workshop so we got to play with the food ourselves, and it was pretty darned fun (except for a couple of grumpy people who we mostly avoided). We worked on the Lemon Saboyon…

Food: Exercise: Martial Arts, 45 minutes Running: 30 minutes (2 miles) This weekend was a big wasteland of tasty junk food and rump-sitting. I was supposed to go running with my friend yesterday but her son came down with a high fever so she couldn’t go. Spurred on by irresistable forces like this I managed…

The sherbet sweater is not moving very quickly, mostly because my last three days were jam packed full of other stuff. Sadly, not knitting, running, or cooking, but errands to get ready for the Girl Scout meeting (it went fine, thanks for asking!), a pastry making class, working, the actual Girl Scout meeting, shopping, and…

It always seems like Girl Scout weeks I end up madly running errands on Thursday and Friday and this week was no exception. And I didn’t get in my usual martial arts workout on Thursday (because I was learning how to make even more wonderful desserts) so I have now had 3 rest days in…

OK, I know this blog is called DomestiGirl and I try to maintain some semblance of superhero-osity, but some days I feel like a flailing buffoon. Remember the Continental Dishcloth? I frogged it. It was too boring. Stockinette stitch just can’t hold my attention, even if I am learning a new way to hold the…

Food: Exercise: Tuesday: Martial Arts, 90 minutes Wednesday: Martial Arts class: 45 minutes It feels like I’m getting into a good rhythm here, getting back in the habit of making the time to get exercise in. Martial arts class over the last two days, good workouts, and I’m eating lots less. Tomorrow, more running! For…
