{FO} Reading Mitts and Sniffles

Just some of yesterday's tissue boxes

Oh friends, this is not my week...not my week at all.  As you have learned, I burned my fingers pretty bad on Tuesday night...and just when they felt better enough to knit, well, the rest of me didn't.  See, I've been stubbornly fighting a case of the sniffles (a cold if you will, but I called allergies) since last week.  Nothing to be alarmed about, happens every year, hence why I called it allergies.  Well, on Sunday I finally called a spade a spade, or a cold a cold, and started taking cold meds. All was fine and dandy, until Wednesday when I woke up just not feeling right...my nose was running constantly and I felt achy.  I knitted a little bit more of my ruffled scarf but just wasn't feeling up to knitting so I put it aside. Took some mucinexD instead of the Nyquil and preceded to have the worst night's sleep on the face of the planet. Needless to say, yesterday was worse...and I did a trial run to Boston at 5:45 a.m. which was a dumb idea because I was sick to my stomach and throwing up along the way, then had to wait an hour in South Station for my train home...but the good news is, the trial run was successful and I will make it to work on time on Monday, then got home and stayed in bed cuddling a hot water bottle and trying not to cough.  I am also pleased to note that today I do not sound like a 7 year old who chain smokes 10 packs a day (as Nate said I sounded yesterday as I pathetically asked him for more soup) and I can breathe through my nose better.

 Getting back on track, I had hoped to have TWO finished objects for this Friday post but alas that was not to be.  So, instead I present to you just one.  Without further ado and sick, delusional, feverish rambling on my part, I present to you the finished Mitts Fit for a Tea Party!
