A little stressed

O.k. I haven't been near the computer in a few days. I've been a little busy and a little depressed. I've been busy knitting a new kimono(yup I said new). When I went to sew up the first one I realized I had one side to long. So, I decided to un-seam and re-knit just that side. As I'm undoing the seam I look at the back and notice something.


How could that happen? I have no idea. It just started falling apart. I had two choices here, try to fix the mess(yeah right!), or just make a new one. So, that's what I've been doing all weekend. I'll have pics of it when I finish it.


The reason I'm depressed. THE RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I am a Red Sox fan.(cries of sympathy start). Before Friday I was on cloud nine. After Monday, not so much. I don't know what happened. They were doing great. Then that team from New York who I will not name came to Boston and just MASSACRED us. First Friday, then Saturday, Sunday, and finally Monday. I'm still in disbelief that we can go from 1 1/2 games back to 6 1/2 games back. Is this really happening? My poor Wally is so upset. He just doesn't know what to do. Right now he is just lying on his back staring at the ceiling. Last night I had to keep him away from all sharp objects.


He was so distraught. He threatened to drown himself in the tub during Adam's bath. I had to hold him down. Then, he started toward the bottle.



He just wanted to drown his sorrows in a cold one. Well, I've seen him drunk, it's not pretty. He gets all wild and starts running through the house destroying it. I just didn't have to energy to follow him around clean up after him.

Well, there's my story of my weekend. Both Wally and I are doing much better this morning. I'm hoping the Sox win tonight. If they don't I might just have to tie Wally to something to keep him from going crazy.

'til then, knit on with your bad self.

    I'm also a Red Sox fan. Last weekend SUCKED. Today I heard on the radio that this is their worst losing streak since August 2001 - yikes!

    Growing up, I learned that being a Red Sox fan involves much heartache, so I can live with weekends like last with getting depressed like poor Wally. Although a comeback isn't impossible, a 6.5-game deficit is mighty big. Now I think the best we can hope for this season is to enjoy them game by game.

    Seems like the old mantra is back: There's always next season....
