It's cold! Shut the Window!

 Yes, I know that it has been cold for some time but it has gotten colder and I have an on going battle. LS2 loves keeping our room cold. I'm talking walk-in freezer type of cold. I am older than her and my bones do not like getting super cold.

Every night, I try my hardest to get our window shut but end up compromising. She gets the window cracked open and I get another blanket. Which she will somehow manage to swipe as she's sleeping. So far, I have woken up with a stiff shoulder, a sore throat,and (for the briefest moment) a case of chest congestion. And still, the little girl will not cave. She says that she feels like she can't breathe if the window is shut and I am ignoring her right to live in comfort. Right, there's that argument. Very hard to fight.

I know you all are thinking "wait until she goes to sleep and then shut the window". You think I haven't tried that? If she doesn't feel the cold air blowing on her, she will wake up and check the window. One night, we opened and the shut the window at least four or five times. I don't have the energy to do that all night, every night. It's easier to talk things out. Yes, it seems I keep failing but my latest compromise is that the window will stay shut if snow is on the ground. Small win but I will take it.

LS1 has been a silent supporter in my corner as she huddles under three blankets. She occasionally vocally supports me but, more often than not, justs echoes my complaints as I make them. She tries.

Time to ship..... Not the one you're thinking of

 No, I am not shipping any couples or going on a cruise (that nightmare has yet to become a reality). By the time you all have read this, I will have most likely shipped the hats, scarf, and blanket off. I will feel relieved when I get it on leg two of it's journey to it's forever home.

I really want to avoid the Christmas gift shipping rush that takes place in the days following Thanksgiving. My life is way calmer without that level of chaos. If any of you know someone who works in the postal or shipping field, give them a lot of love and respect. It is not easy dealing with the amount of packages they got to deal with.

Thankfully, it is one little light box, not fifteen heavy boxs. I would yank my hair out if I had to handle that. I am not savvy like that. I always stared in awe of those people who could do that.

I don't know what I did......

 I will keep this post brief. On Sunday, I realized my shoulder was super sore. Like, I pitched the entire World Series solo for funsies-type of sore. It has been several days but I still hurt. It even burns periodically. 

I am about to put some heat onto it and use our massager. I hope it will be better by next week. As always feel free to leave me a message below.

Knitting is exhausting yet so satisfiying......

 My back hurts after spending a whole week turning 31.5 ozs of yarn into a blanket. To be honest, it's more of a throw blanket or blanket shawl than anything else. I just finished it and am buzzing with the high I get when I finish a project. It's making my back pain feel worth it.

Now, all I need to do is ship it out later and then all good! Before I forget, the pictures of everything are below. I didn't forget my promise to you all. 

Our mannequin is named Mandy. You might see her more from now on so I thought I should introduce her. Mom named her. She was also the one who picked her up at the store. It was a little weird watching her carry around a disembodied head but I like to think I'm adaptable. The sibs just adore Mandy. 

Well, I am going to go take care of my aching back. As always, feel free to leave me a message below.
