It's very cool and quite huggable. I'm trying to fugure out how little I can hurt myself to "earn" one. :D

4 of my fingers are now peeling from knitting so tightly that her stuffing won't leak. I won't even tell you about my poor wrists. How in the world do people do knit toys in volume for craft fairs?
I wouldn't put your own stuffing at risk on the impossibility I'll forget the pain.
But thanks for the compliment!
Jo.
I know this is very late, as I tend to have a really hard time reading these type of threads. But I did get through this today, and I'm so glad to see that you are on the mend. I hope that you recover completely and that soon you'll be able to get back on that beautiful bike!

Glad to hear you are on the mend. It doesn't seem like it's been a month. Do you have any idea what caused the crash? Did anyone see anything? Kind of crazy that you don't remember so much before, but you hear that often. Maybe it's a good thing, for when you get back on that Lynsky.
Cute doll. Maybe stick her in your bag as a good luck charm!
Once again, I'm so glad that things seem to be returning back to normal for you!
I knit socks and mittens, etc with fingering weight yarn and tiny double pointed needles. I am VERY impressed with that doll- what a beautiful smooth tension you achieved throughout. Great job!Quote:

I'm really glad everyone, especially Jo of course, likes Emmaline. I so wanted to be there to help her and Lee.

Wow, Jobob,
I knew you were off the bike for a bit, but I had no idea why and that it was this serious. I'm so glad that you're back and healing - slowly, but surely.
Take it easy and when you're cleared for riding, start slowly and enjoy the ride!
Jo - I'm so glad you are recovering so well!! Wow, every time I read more about your accident - it's scarier. I'm just happy you are doing so much better. I still owe you a ride this year, so when you're able, we'll get together and ride. I'm up for anything you can do. {{{{HUGS}}}}
PS. Emmaline is simply adorable.
(this is more or less a copy of my blog post, with a wee bit of extra stuff because you guys are special :D )
So, I officially returned to work this week.
Check out what was awaiting me on my office door Monday morning!

Do I have some awesome co-workers or what?? :D
And, look what was waiting for me inside my office ...

:eek: Aaack!
Geeze, thanks Boss! :p
(Only kidding, I'll tackle it all in due time.)
It's really good to be back.
Even though I'm only doing half-days for starters, I was totally whupped Monday afternoon and took a really long nap after I got home.
But on Tuesday I felt considerably more energetic after my gruelling four hours :rolleyes:, and my after-work nap was much shorter.
And Tuesday evening it occurred to me that I was beginning to feel more like "normal" (heh, be that as it may).
Looks like returning to the rat race is good for me. :)
Cool! I was wondering how this week was going.
(Who knew the rat race could be good for someone?)
Well at least the outside of your office was festive! :p
Isn't that a lei on her monitor? It looks like they covered the bases. Maybe hoping to distract her from the piles?
Jo - glad you're back to work. The piles of stuff just means they can't do it without you. Nice to have job security!!
Heh, that's mine :o It's hanging up on the arm of the light next to my monitor, alongside my collection of mardi gras necklaces and badges on neck cords from various old meetings.Quote:

Nope, it's Mimi's portrait of Barack Obama.
It's not very clear in the photo so we'll cut you some slack. :D
Been following your progress reports and thinking I'm glad the posts started at the recovery progress end. The accident sounds horrendous, even in barely remembered retrospect. I hate those splotchy shadows! Not that we get them much here. Here it's the low sun straight in your eyes. Watching your reports keeps reminding me to stay alert while riding. :eek: I think I'll dedicate my day 1 ride to you, the sponsor I'll keep in mind while I struggle up hills and stay watchful on the downhills and in the rider packs. Anyhooo ... Good to know you're back on your feet, back at work, soon (I hope) back on your bike.
