My back is a little better. Tuesday was horrible, yesterday was pretty good. I’m going to try to get on my elliptical today and see how that feels. I’m so ready.

Clark’s second sleeve is about 16 or so rows away from the sleevecap. He was recently given a few nice, soft store bought sweaters, one with a train on it. So I don’t know if he’ll ever wear the one I’m making. I need to find a long sleeved, collared dress shirt for underneath. That’ll help.

I spent much of yesterday getting Christmas decorations up.

This afternoon a friend and a sister-in-law are coming over to make cedar wreaths. I’ve never made a real wreath. Just a gumdrop wreath on a styrofoam core with a thousand toothpicks and gumdrops. It was pretty, and unbelievably tedious, that one.

I need to hack through some blackberries out back, to get close enough to the cedar trees to glean clippings. Ooh, and I have a small holly tree/weed out front. No berries, though. Maybe we’ll use some of that.
