Life Is Still OK

Just found out some bad news yesterday. For 2 weeks I was hoping it wouldn't be so.... but...

That's life.

I was bummed yesterday but somehow after the initial shock, I was very relieved. Paul took me out to lunch and it was very nice and it relaxed me. Then I bought myself a book as an escape, that was a pretty good idea if I may say so, I really did get into it. Two very anxious weeks were just two weeks too long. Now it's something I have to deal with and live with. I thought I was going to be sad for a long time and I was prepared for that. After Cody died last year, I'd been feeling down more often than I liked. I'd finally found peace in the last coupla months. I thought this news would just make me feel the same way again if not worse. This morning, I woke up not even thinking about it. Strangely, I am feeling OK, so much better than I thought I would be. Busy with finishing up the sweater today made me not even thinking about it all that much. Unlike what I'd expected, life is still OK.

I don't know what it all means. Well I know what I have to deal with, but I have a funny feeling that this may help me sort out my life a bit better and appreciate the people in my life. Yesterday holding Paul's hand at the beach, I just felt so loved and grateful that he is in my life.

I've been working on a simple sweater for the last week and half, and I finished it today. It didn't turned out exactly the way I wanted (kinda like life, eh) but I still like it and I still think it's pretty nice.

I just got Netflix since the summer vacation began. With all the free time I have I've been watching a lot of movies. That's also why I wanted a simple (mostly st sts) knitting so I could watch the movie more than just listening to it.
Here it is:

Pattern: My own design
Yarn: Elann Limited Edition Lana Pura
Needles: #4

Serious?

It's almost the end of May and the snow is still coming. It was snowing quite hard last night and I was surprised at how much it was sticking to the ground. We had about half an inch on our deck this morning. That's Tahoe weather for you. It was up to 60 degrees last week, and it snowed last night. This morning it was sunny blue bird day (though temperature is only up to low 40s today.) You get all 4 seasons in one week. When is spring coming? I took some picture when we went for our walk this morning.
