About Me
- Name: Justy
- Location: BC, Canada
I'm the proud Momma of "Son" who was born at home in Aug 2003.
I discovered eBooks back in 2005 when I got my iPaq 2490. Once I discovered I could have as many books as I wanted with me all the time without breaking my back I was hooked. The best thing is the development of eInk eBook Readers, specifically the Cybook and BeBook. Much nicer on my eyes, I don't think I'll ever go back to paper books again. In fact I still have a paperback to finish that I started in December 2007, just before I got my Cybook. I may have to find it in eBook format. :)

Just a simple little blog to talk about my knitting, my cats, my wonderful son, and perhaps other things in my life.

It's Here!!
- A new book to learn from
- Luscious yarns to knit with
- A lovely pattern to knit up, Mum has requested this one in the blue/green yarn below
- And of course the ball winder to get those hanks into nice orderly center pull balls.
Now that is the way to end a week!
In other news, my ankle is doing much better. I can walk around without my cane most of the time. Though I go much faster when I use the cane for added balance. I look much less like a drunken sailor when using the cane as well. I went in for my follow up appointment today and they said my x-ray looks good and I can take off the cast on Monday. I may have to put it back on if my ankle gets sore though. I'm thinking, and my doctor agrees, that I will put it on for work so that I don't have to pack it back and forth, and then just have it off when at home. This will be a short term thing I'm sure, I really can't wait to totally ditch this cast.
I start Physio next Friday at 8 Rinks the official training facility for the Vancouver Canucks. I'm not sure if that means they use the same physio facilities too. My doctor actually prescribed me more T3's even though I haven't needed them for a few weeks now. She said that I may find I need them to sleep after walking with the cast off, and especially after a round of physio. Something tells me this isn't going to be an easy walk in the park.
