So close. So very, very close.

Witchipoo is almost done! The only thing left to do is block it. I think the steel wire that Ralph has will solve the blocking wires problem, however I still have to find a place that is both large enough for me to spread the shawl out, and isolated enough to keep the dogs/cats from walking on it. As you can see by the paperback I included for perspective, it's pretty large.

We went to visit Neighbor D at the hospital today. He is still in very serious condition: on a respirator, unresponsive, bloated with fluid as his kidneys & liver are pretty much shut down. We've got his dog & his birds here at the house, and if the worst happens we will be keeping them permanently. Yes, it's that serious. His sister is coming out from Colorado on Monday; she has power of attorney & will be able to make any necessary decisions for him.

Didn't really do much this first official day of vacation. Read a bit, knit a bit, ate lunch at In-n-Out Burger, and brainsucked. Felt good, but I don't intend for the whole vacation to be this way.
