Relax it's just the weather and your period!

Ugh I got a double trigger whammy. I got my cycle a week early. Oh joy! I also got a mini heat wave going on. Summer's gonna be REAL fun! I'm sitting in the coolest part if the house with a damp wash cloth on my belly to help cool me down. 30 minutes ago I took half a lexapro. Not Xanax, lexapro. Tonight ill take the other half. 

I saw Doc today. Reviewed my rxs and my recuperation. I made a new friend today. This person knows how to knit. Yay! We both had our bags of yarn, hooks and needles. We sat talking about crafting as we waited to see our doctors. 

We had group session this week. The case mgr did a good job facilitating. We took a walk around the block. We have a new member. Seems to be a good mix in the group. 

This week's session the crafting was on knitting. I taught the ladies how to start a loom knit for beanie hats. I explained that thick yarn is needed to produce a viable hat. I told them that today's lesson was to enjoy the process of making a beanie hat. The product was not going to look right because its the wrong yarn. 

I also let them know some of the errors that they might find because they're still learning. I told them that I had only learned myself a few weeks ago. They looked at me in surprise. 

I made sure to model the appropriate loom knitting to every lady in the group. The activity lead to open communication. We all smiled and giggled. On occasion there was frustration as we discovered yarns were too tight, or wrapped the wrong way. We plan to have a crafting group once a week as part of our socialization goals. 

I received a $5.00 gas card. They want the card and receipt returned. I knew about the card, just not about the receipt. Oh well. Receipt and card it is.
