Frittata!

 

Pattern: Crown Hat - Yarn: Red Heart Eco-Ways in Cinnabar - Needles: US 8

  If you were wondering what all those random hat pictures were, they were previous incarnations of this hat.  I had a cool idea in my head about how I wanted to make this, and it just didn't work.  I probably started and restarted this hat about 11 times.  While this isn't at all what I was picturing, I do really like this.  I have already thought of a way to improve it, so it might become a real pattern yet!

  We made an Italian themed frittata.  My mom had a bunch of eggs and she is going to start getting Meals on Wheels later this week.  I added marinara to the eggs.  The filling is chicken, Chinese eggplant, bell peppers, onion, and mushroom.  A mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese rounded it out.  

  I'm getting good at helping my mom.  I have helped take off and put on the body brace at least twice a day.  I've helped change the padding on the neck brace front a few times, and the whole thing once.  So if anyone else ever needs help with this and they have the same brand of braces, I can help out.

  Bill didn't think it would be easy for my mom to get in my car, but we got her in there and took her to an appointment that the hospital had set up for her.  It took over an in the small room hour to see the doctor for the check-up.  He wasn't sure why we were there since she has specialists.  The X-ray from Saturday showed there was no more air bubble in her chest.  Since we were so good, we decided to treat ourselves to some sushi.  The directions to Bento Sushi took us to a Target but then when we did more research discovered it was actually in the Safeway at the other end of the shopping center.  We went to Quickway Japanese Hibachi instead.

  Nezumi will be grumpy when I leave because I'm good at keeping her plate full.  She can't eat dry food because he causes her to throw up, and she only eats a few mouthfuls at a time.  That means that someone needs to watch her plate and put out a new spoonful or two of her wet food once it's empty.  I also don't mind if she sleeps in the bed with us.

  During my stay we have watched all of the main episodes of Nailed It on Netflix and we have now started on the two holiday themed seasons.  I've been working on the Version B of my Woven Lattice Hat, and it turns out I don't have to make as many changes to the pattern as I thought.  I'm even thinking of adding one size up.
