The Doldrums is not just a place

It's where I live.
The Doldrums. Otherwise known as the Home of Blah.
Sorry about the absence but I've been so not myself lately.
I'll spare you a lengthy dissertation on my blahs, poor Purl has had to endure enough from me already.
I've been so down in the dumps and...whatever...that I didn't even properly wish my friend Major Knitter a Happy Birthday!
What a crappy friend.
So happy birthday dear friend.
Go send her belated wishes and blame it on her bad friend in Western NY.
She deserves all your good thoughts.
I'm supposed to be getting ready for work and really don't have time for much, but I'll leave you with a picture of what I've been working on (and no, it's not repairing my sock):

It's My So-Called Scarf using Manos del Uruguay purchased several years ago at Knit Happens.
And the good news is that I (might) have gotten into Knitters Tea Swap 4!!!
I missed the deadline - and I surely don't know how that happened, I left a whiny message on the blog, and Suzie the Angel who runs the swap sent me an email!
Whining doesn't normally work, but I do love my KTS's.

Knitting, tea, and chocolate - I'm ready to hibernate.
I've also begun reading Anne of Green Gables for my KAL.
Since I already listened to half of it I was able to jump right to where I left off.
So now I'm off to work.
Blah.
