Better living through modern chemistry

I just LOVE the miracle of modern medicine! Thanks to a quick late afternoon trip to my doctor (he squeezed me in @ 3:45...oh joy) and a not so quick trip to Duane Reade afterward (do they have the slowest staff in the city or what?) I am moderately pain free courtesy of the wonders of Methocarbam and good old ibuprofen.

Of course, this might have made me a little overambitious, but I started working on a Lion Wool-ease Thick & Quick seed stitch brim hat for myself...which will require some judicious plucking afterward (what is UP with the weird shreds of sawdust in the brown wool?? just because it's a color called Wood, doesn't mean it has to HAVE it!) which I have adapted from the Lion Brand Just Hats book (thanks LQ!)

Okay, my left shoulder is starting to cramp, so I think it is time to knock it off for the night.
