OK, with the tonsils this week I have had a lot of TV and internet time. And a lot of frozen dairy around the house. I am off sugar for lent and it is taking self control not to pig out.

And in my wanderings I came accross Social Innovation Camp. It’s a four day camp in April…to quote “Our aim is to find ways that easy-to-build web 2.0 tools can be used to develop solutions to social challenges.”

How snappy is that? They have a whole page of ideas folks have submitted. My fave is the one about personal cycling routes in London. I realize I do not live in London, and I rarely get to cycle anywhere, but it still sounds fun. My sis would be all over this.

OK, It has been so long I almost feel like I need to reintroduce myself.

Hi, I’m Becca. I used to knit.

So, what’s been up? Work, illness and tonsils have dominated recently. Tuesday little sis had her tonsils out. Hoary!! Poor thing has been sick since Christmas day. We’ve had 10 days with fever of 104 or more. One 7 hour stint in the ER. Four different antibiotics. These are my last four sick days of the school year.

All that said she’s pretty mad at me about the whole thing. She wants chips and salsa, now. Between that and the fact I keep waking her up to take yucky medicine I am not fer favorite right now.

Today she’s a bit better. She has more energy and I am not needed constantly. So my goals are to :

1. Make oatmeal
2. Knit a bit for the first time in three weeks
3. Make chicken noodle soup
4. Shower
5. Deliver popsicles
6. Clean toilets

I know, try not to be jealous.

And a side note to Diego. No, I really don’t want to help you rescue animals. That’s your job. Mine is sitting here trying to coax a 4 year old into taking one more dose of antibiotic. Stop staring at me like that. I do not care that is is the smallest baby mane wolf or that it might hurt itself on those thorns. Circle of life, dude.
