Last night I watched “One Night with the King” which “chronicled the life of the young Jewish girl, Hadassah, who went on to become the Biblical Esther, the Queen of Persia, and saved the Jewish nation from annihilation at the hands of its arch enemy while winning the heart of the fiercely handsome King Xerxes.” I really enjoyed it.
And while I was putzing around looking at movie stuff, I discovered there are Ruth Rendell mystery DVD’s. So I’ll be checking those out when I get back from Madrona. As Barbara pointed out when she first ever told me about her, she used a metal double point needle as the murder weapon in "A Needle for the Devil,” a short story which I read some years ago when Barbara first mentioned it. "The Veiled One" has considerable knitting content; the murder weapon is a knitting needle. I haven’t read this but it may be the one where she used a circular needle as a garrote. Meantime, Bill is watching “Get Smart” episodes.
I never mentioned that the fellow who was to meet us for Bill’s birthday thought he was to meet us on Tuesday night, not Monday. Oh well…. And Bill took the car back to the dealer again today after the check light came on and stayed on. According to the code it had something to do with the federally mandated emissions system. There was a small leak which they fixed. They also fixed the thing to do with the acceleration pedal that has been the focus of a recent recall. My sister should rest happy now – as soon as I tell her. Of course, she doesn’t know about my fall yet.
Since Madrona is fast approaching, I decided to go ahead and knit on my eight homework swatches for the “Seaming without Sewing” class. That is my first class so it needed to be done before I head out for the retreat. I have six done. I also have most of another hat knit, and I finished listening to my audiobook “Ghost at Work” by Carolyn Hart – another ghostly whodunit.
Debi called today to check on me. I told her I wouldn’t be coming tomorrow and she wasn’t surprised to hear that. I don’t know what I was thinking at the time I told Larry P I’d probably come and play on Sunday. The leg looked better when I got up this morning as far as the swelling was concerned although it swells again during the day. If I sit with it elevated all the time it gets uncomfortable so then I put it down for awhile. I’ve continued icing off and on during the day although perhaps I should have done more. The bruised area seems to be larger than yesterday. Not a pretty sight… And I learned tonight that Terry’s feeding tube came out and he was off to the hospital again to get that taken care of. I don’t know why he has so much trouble with his tube.
I got the sequel to “The Note” from the library today and the last two episodes of Season 2 of “News Tricks” from Netflix. Decisions, decisions about what to watch but I’m off watch one of them, and ice the knee another time or two before bedtime.
When you feel unlovable, unworthy and unclean, when you think that no one can heal you:
Remember, Friend,
God Can.
When you think that you are unforgivable for your guilt and your shame:
Remember, Friend,
God Can.
When you think that all is hidden and no one can see within:
Remember, Friend,
God Can.
And when you have reached the bottom and you think that no one can hear:
Remember, my dear Friend,
God Can.
And when you think that no one can love the real person deep inside of you:
Remember, my dear Friend,
God Does.

Hi Diane. Was finally able to get out cyberwalking again and wanted to check on you and see what you were up to ... 
Hi Carol, I get a "lump in my chest" reading your thoughts that you share .. thanks for reminding us how life is a 
Aggravation plus! That meant a $5 penalty fee before I even got started. I had to calculate my earnings for Junebug’s Place and my insurance stuff. As happens every year, I had not received the 1099 from AFLAC so I had to figure out what I received from them last year minus insurance, savings, etc. Maddening! When I first went on the Department of Revenue sight it didn’t seem to know I existed. I called the toll free number and talked to a lady whose last name is SORDAHL. I think I might have talked to her once before but what are the odds – same name except for an “S” between the R and the D! Anyway, she got me going and I spent hours putzing with that. 
They had some tank tops for $5 so I got three of those. I wear them as one of my “layers” of clothing and I was in need of some new ones. I also went over to the men’s department and bought a couple pair of their large sweat pants. Back at home, however, I saw that I should have gotten the XL, so I’ll have to get back and exchange them. I really need them for Madrona as my pants situation is in dire need of refurbishing. It’s one thing to go around here wearing sweats with tiny holes in them, but I rather not do that in a swanky do hotel at a major knitting convention! 
It’s heading on towards seven and I’m still trying to decide what I want to eat. I suppose I need to check the fridge and see what my options are. Then I plan to watch a movie Linda sent me called “The Note.” I had forgotten I had that one until Linda said something this afternoon. I had it in my Netflix queue. I mentioned that they have “The Note 2” on there but she said it isn’t as good. That is too often the case with sequels but I’ll probably watch it anyway. 
Anyway, it works!
