Zombies 4 Life

Wow, what a miserable week this past one has been. Quite a number of folks at the office, including me and Dan, were stricken by a really virulent flu-type infection. Everyone's symptoms ran along similar paths, although some folks had throbbing headaches while some of us had fevers.

Five days after it first hit me, I'm still weak and lethargic. Feeding the dog and watering my plants this morning was exhausting. Blech. I hate this.

Spent some time working on my sweater, Sunshine. The Knit-Along ends in a couple of weeks and I have just finished the body and begun one of the sleeves. Fortunately, I set aside two skeins of my Karaoke Mermaid Mix whose color stripes begin exactly at the point I need for each sleeve. Yay!

If I weren't so tired from the flu (or whatever this was), I'd have gotten it done by now. Oh, well. It's going along faster than I had anticipated, being my first sweater and all.

Fortunately, it has an inset of lace down the sleeves so that I don't need to count row by tedious row to match both of my sleeves. Instead, I'll be keeping count of the pattern, which is rows of 10. Still counting, but much less difficult for the math-challenged such as myself!

We're having Chinese food delivered tonight. Neither of us is up to cooking or going to pick something up.

Except maybe brains. We zombies love them.
