Still can’t post pictures

Sigh. I hate technical computer stuff. I don’t have a clue where to go or how to fix anything. For those of you that might know, here’s what’s happening- I hit the add media icon (WordPress) and a little window comes up with the button “Choose Files to Upload” like it’s supposed to, only when I click on it, it doesn’t bring up the window giving me access to my files to choose pics. I click the button and it ignores me.

So, I’m getting ready for Black Sheep. Doing laundry, making lists… I’m about to start assembling piles to load into my car.

I think Calcifer is getting better. It’s kind of hard to tell. The redness is smaller, but the holes in his head are bigger. He’s still lively and eating. That’s the best sign of all. Nate is too grossed out to look at him, but to me, he seems improved. I don’t think we’ll escape some permanent damage though, if he lives. I can’t imagine how those holes are going to fill in.

Maybe you should be glad I can’t upload pictures. :-).

It is just headgrowth though, not like it’s boring into his skull or anything. That’d be REALLY gross.

As far as my health goes… I’m feeling much better. I still have a really hard time eating in the morning. And if I do manage to eat, I usually regret it. But lunch tends to sit well. Dinner remains iffy, yet better than breakfast if I’m hungry enough to eat it. My heart has been much calmer. I don’t really know why. Maybe I’m eating better. I should be losing weight since I don’t eat much and hardly snack. But no, losing weight is not something I do. It’s just not in the stars for me I guess.

Anyone have an opinion on rigid heddle looms? I’d love to hear if you do. I’m contemplating the Ashford Knitters Loom (20 inch) and the Kromski Harp. I really want to get the girls spinning this summer. If they don’t, I might be selling some extra wheels I have laying around come autumn. My girls don’t have the patience to knit, but according to Ashford, you can weave a scarf in 2 hours on their loom. I’d like to get them dyeing, spinning, and weaving this summer. It sounds like tremendous fun but I don’t know which loom to get. I’m hoping there will be some on demonstration at Black Sheep. As of now, I’m probably leaning towards the Ashford. Something about it (which could simply be their marketing department) makes it seem more kid friendly. If I love it, perhaps I’ll pick up a Kromski for me. Or maybe I’ll start looking around for a table loom. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
