Feeling better but poorer

It's been a month since my sister died, and I've had some bouts of deep sadness, but I'm doing better now. To get to this point has cost me a lot of money. I went on a yarn buying binge. As if I needed more yarn. I bought quite a bit of Cherry Tree Hill Possum laceweight, Orenburg lace, and Suri lace. Because it was such a deal I also bought sweater amounts of CTH Soft Angora, which is (I believe 70% wool and 30% angora). I've also made arrangements to visit my husband's family in Mobile and booked a decent room (rather than staying with one of his sisters or his mother). We'll be going in early March. In mid April, I'm signed up for a 2 day bobbin lace class in Georgia. AND, this AM I bought a new bicycle.

Not exactly a bicycle. I got a recombent trike. I had a very good comfort bike but couldn't ride it because I was afraid of it. My feet did not touch the ground when I stopped. Since I've had both knees replaced already and have arthritis steadily moving through my body, I needed something safe and comfortable. So I ordered the trike. I'll be sitting only 9.5 inches off the ground, so even if I fall off, I won't go far. It has two wheels in the front and one in the back to make it more stable than the traditional style tricycle. I look forward to it's getting here and trying it out. We have a very nice bike path nearby.

Anyway, I'm feeling better.
