Our life is pretty busier than before. My work schedule changed, I work on Wednesday to Saturday now. Off Sunday to Tuesday. Derek works on Sunday to Thursday, off Thursday night to Sunday night- he works on Sunday night to Wednesday night(make it Thursday counts due to midnight).
I am getting worry about this summer when the school are out, the kids will run out of food during summer time. Recently, spring break the kids ran out the food within a week after shopping. I will figure out....
I just started to watch Dr. Pimple Popper aka Dr. Sandra Lee on TLC- I can't get this off of my mind that which is so super annoyed!
I just start this project- Poca I had to use two different needle sizes on each hands due to my gauge swatch to match in the pattern.
Oh dear..... stop that, dear mind.... stop that.... I need sue to Dr. Sandra Lee.... Ahem....
Wyatt started his new medicine for his ADD. That worries me.....
That's all I think of saying.... I am going to take a hot shower, I am sick with stomach bug- not fun... I ran to the toilet in every 30 minutes... I think I had food poisoning from BlueBird restaurant- Derek's families party.

I'll Make A Short Story.....
1. I finished two projects within 2 weeks. I finished this and this. Now I am knitting this then I will finish this.
2. These in the past days lately, I just wanted to knitting and do nothing.
3. Otherwise that chores yelled at my full name: JHTG (for my private identity, some of you already know my name), clean me! So I can't ignore my chores or I will be insane with a full house of messy.
4. I watched Johnny English spikes again #3, I love Rowan the actor. He made me laugh and that what I needed.
5. I am so sad because I still don't want winter to be over. I hate summer. I hate the heat. I hate summer activities. I told my husband-- I want to get into coma, wake me up for work then come home and go back to coma-- repeat this until autumn arrives.
6. I am currently watching James Bond movies. I was hesitating to watch 1980s. I like 1995 to presents. Better technology than before.
7. I found out that my brother is getting divorced, I am worrying about it.
8. Work- it is still great job so far. I like the co-workers and bosses.
9. I love my new hometown now. I went to Logan, I was like ahh, too many people and cars and so crowded. I love the feeling of calm and peace small town called my home. I am happy that I live and work in the same town. I don't go to Logan that often. I only went just outside Logan's boundary for stores.
10. I freak love this bath bomb! My skin was so super softer, Derek was surprised when he pet me. Oh and smell so good! It's smell autumn. Definitely will buy more! Worth it!
11. I need to go and put a cream on my feet from Laura Nelkin's the N Club that she made the balmy lotion for feet. Before Derek can have his beauty nap before work.
That will be all...

Well, I Am Back
Well, I am trying to get back to write my blog from now on if I can. Our life is changed since I posted my last blog. Two years since I blogged. I am sorry if you are waiting for my new blog. I know how this feels like. I am waiting for my favorite knitter to writes her blog. She is always blogging for almost every weekly, but now she is starting to stop or slow down now.
I don't know how to start what to say first..... I will make a list than story for today.
1. Derek's work is changing into 12 hours shift. No more 8 hours shift. No, it is not just for him, it's worldwide company. I am nervous about this. The shifts are only 3 to 4 days, not 7 days a week. Week one- 3 days work and 4 days off work. Week two- 4 days work and 3 days off work- this is bi-weekly 12 hours shifts for all. Is that makes a sense?
2. We sold our first house last October 16, 2018. We moved to Hyrum. We bought townhouse that was just brand new built before we moved in. The reasons are so millions why we sold our house, I will give you a few: tax property is getting higher and higher, too many problems to fix- A/C is so much needed to replace and we don't have $2,500 for it, lawn sprinkle system is ALWAYS broke every spring, mortgage is getting higher and higher, and we wanted burden off our shoulders. Also we don't have PMI, we don't want it. We deposited 21% down payment to get PMI out. Everything is brand new, so we don't have to worry about our house so we can focus on pay off our debts.
3. It was so hard to adjusting this new lifestyle in new town and new house. I had gone to doctor office for a few months and I am on new medicine. Anxiety and depress disorders are NOT fun at all!
4. Wyatt is struggling in his new school. He doesn't want to do anything what his teacher asked him to do. He wetted his pants more than once on purpose to avoided homework. So we made the rules for him- no iPad while school week. He can have it when it's weekend/no school days. He does like new school, but doesn't like to do homework.
5. Emma loves unicorn so much. She begs me to get buy her more make-ups on her face. I only got her a few- lipstick, powder face, kids eyeshadows. She starts to like her new school. At first, she was struggled to get up for school. She kept said that she doesn't want to go to school. Now it's improving.
6. I got a new job. YES, a job! I know! I vowed myself that I would never get a job. But the world has another plan for me. I hate money. I work at Hyrum McDonald's to be closer to home than 15 minutes drive to Logan daily. It was overwhelming for me at the beginning. Now it is 3 weeks since I got in.
7. My dad passed away last June 19, 2018. 2018 was hardest year ever! Money problems, house problems, dad's sickness, kids struggles, family problems(my younger brother is not getting along with his family, he prefers his wife's family), and we had to stepped out of our comfort zone, because we knew that we can't stay in this zone. We had to get out before the things get worse.
8. No, we didn't trade car. We still have black Hyundai car. I want to get this pay off then we can buy truck. Then we won't buy another vehicle for the next 20 years. I am tired of payments.
9. Why, yes I am still knitting. I sold my spinning wheel, I don't knit with handspun yarns because what if I need more yards. I don't have a time for spinning, it takes FOREVER. Not with my new job schedule. I only knitting. Nothing else. I downsized pretty a lot of my hobbies before we sold our house. I only knitting Nelkin Designs for now due to no time. Life is getting busier. I am subscribing her clubs to save my money for yarns. My local yarn shop: Knit Unique is closed for business due to financial problems. I am sad. But it's ok because I am still visiting to Bountiful and the LYS is in Salt Lake City- 15 minutes drive from there.
10. My youngest brother finally married! No, not to the old lady, married the same as his age! Just had a baby recently, he named him- RJ: Robert Jacob. Me, Jacob, and Jayden are getting along well with our mom, Justin refuses. I am sad.
11. We bought iPhone 8 plus. Just because.
12. It's heavy snow here this season, I am so happy. I keep saying to myself: MORE snow please. I got my wish.
13. My Christmas tree is still UP! I am not getting it down anytime soon.
14. I am obsessing with Mrs. Meyers cleaner. I love the smell lavender. It's my favorite flower. I also have hand soap, hand sanitizer, and multi purpose cleaner. I am planning on to buy air spray in Macey's.
15. Oh yes, my new house does have a soaker tub- it's a MUST for me. Fireplace- electric fireplace.
16. Our guniea pig, Reeses died in December 2017. It was hard to see her go. We had to put her to sleep due to pains. I remember when I held her, she doesn't want to let go of me.
17. Yes, I am still drinking coffee. It's a MUST for me. Stop judging.
18. What am I working on my knitting: Fingerlake Shawl- It's the N club. I am trying to knitting one project at a time due to my new lifestyle with a job. My goal this year is to knit 50 projects before 2019 ends.
19. I am thinking about getting a cat. Yes, our townhouse is pet permitted.
20. Lucky, the pug passed away 2 weeks ago. He was 17 years old. His vet was in shocked that he lived longest life. Gunner, the black lab is still alive. I still love him so much. He acted so strange on the day our dad died.
21. Derek's dad finally retired of 46 years work at Schreiber. He doesn't want to retired, he was kept postponing his retirement twice last year. Derek's mom convinced him to retired before November 1st, so he did retired on halloween day.
22. I am not happy that Patriots won AGAIN! I am rooting for Rams at Super Bowl.
23. We switched to Purple VRS from Soreson VRS, because purple offered us a free iPad and a free apple MacBook Air. Just in time to get new iPad when our old iPad was getting worse and save our money. So we are still with Purple VRS. We are using on laptops and iPhone app for it. Because we haven't set up our house phone VRS yet. The cable is in family room and I am trying to fugue where to set up a desk for it. So I am not worrying about it, because it was good with our iPhone app if someone calls us.
24. We haven't gone to a family vacation, our last vacation was Disneyland in California. Last summer, we went to Bear Lake with Derek's family.
25. I quitted Etsy shop owner due to complicated with tax.
Now, there you go.

Too Much of Constant Pains, Minds Chaos, Emotions Up & Down
Hello? blog, sorry I haven't been in touch with you. Sometimes I don't want to write to you. Or lazy. Today's weather is so weird, but I LOVE it! I love snow. Yes, it, indeed, is snowing all day. I am wearing Bath & Body Works snow perfume. I LOVE IT!! It's out of stock. My mom gave it to me last weekend. I am hoping it is jinx to today's weather and yup, snow was here. I still want winter instead summer~ that is very strange because last year, I wanted summer to stay when the autumn approached. I am wearing snowman p.j.'s. Love love love!
Bad news about me~ Last Monday, I got in a bike accident that involves vehicle that hits me when I was pedaling. Fortunately, there is no broke bone in my body. I have so MANY of bruises on all over of my body. Yes, helmet is a MUST for me. It's like a seatbelt for bike. Who knows what happen if I don't wear it, but I don't want to think about it. I got hit on between 1000 west and rainbow road. A lady lives on the corner of Rainbow Rd, helped with me and driver. Yes the polices, firetruck, and ambulance did showed up. I got to the hospital by ambulance. It's my first time been in ambulance. I cried and cried because of pain on shoulder. At first, I thought it is broke but wasn't. My left shoulder muscle is torn up and it really painful! Yes, I went through with the Bear River Healthcare, insurances, and questions by the polices and doctors. Now I am sitting on a camo recliner sofa with strongest painkillers medicine. Derek took two days off from work to help with me. Derek was working double shifts on that day when he found out that I had accident and he immediately clock out to met me at the hospital. Sheri came and to be with us. My parents were in Twin Falls, Idaho for a little trip.
Yep, I can't knitting, because it is my knitting arm that got torn up. I just wanted to bike to count for my exercise.
For the bike riders~ WEAR THE DAMN HELMET! THAT SAVED MY LIFE! It's very important to wear helmet better than feeling stupid. Safe is the smartest than the feeling of stupidity.
I do know how the cyclist feel like after being hit by vehicle. OUCH, OWWIE....
That's all for now, I am tired from the pain constant 24/7.
Psst, wear. a. helmet. !!!!!!.

I Am In So Much Pain
I had root canal on upper tooth. Dentist accident caused it, how it happened?~ He put the filling too closer to the nerve. He said, oops. I am hoping he will omit some of the dentist bill. It is sooooo painful and annoying. I have oxy and tramadol HCL medicines. I prefer oxy, but he won't let me get another one so he got me tramadol HCL medicine. It is not really working for the pain. I only have 2 oxy left. So I will take it after tramadol is fading away from my system.
I have been playing with it and it caused more hurt but it is so annoying. When I bite, it hurts but really needs to bite to relief the pressure the teeth. I have been eating soft food~ great harvest pumpkin bread, yogurt, cuties oranges, I think that is it.
Anyway, I am knitting the Clue 3 of Creatrix shawl that was just released last night of Clue 3 pattern. I made a few times of mistake due to the pain of my tooth. I had a hard time to stay concentrate. So I put it away and walked away. This morning, I was able to have some of focus and fixed the mistake in shawl. I need to be more carefully with this garter lace, it is really confuse stitches. So pay extra closer attention, Jenna!
So that's it for now. Painful is unbearable for me right now. And I am knitting super slow.

Spring Break
Our spring break is good. We didn't go out for vacation. We were supposed to go to St. George, but we canceled due to finance reason. We went to Bountiful for my cousin's wedding (Lindsey Evans Rice). One thing I learned about her younger age (toddler to child) is, she ate only white foods: white rice, white potato, white bread, white ice cream, you named it~ everything is must to be white color. Her dad, John, said you need to marry rice, because she was always ate rice. She married a guy that has last name is Rice. I told Derek that is so ironic! Maybe John jinxed it. I think that is pretty funny. We did stayed at hotel~ Country Inn~ our room door key is dead. The cards won't work, we had to asked the front desk to opened for us every time we returned to our room. Yes, the front desk did asked us if we want to transfer to different room, I said no because I wanted a king bed and the kids are in the another room with couch that has folded bed inside. Also I like the window, because I can opened it to full open than second and third floors windows for safety reason. So the front desk gave us discounted price for our staying due to the dead battery key card insert. I am happy about that. It was cost us $185 but we got $150~ $35 off.
I started MKAL (mystery knit a long) for Creatrix shawl with everyone on the ravelry group. I am now on Clue 2.
Here is my picture of Clue 2 of Creatrix MKAL. I used pink highlight marker to cross off the row that I have been worked on. I hate post-it. It is indeed work out my brain. I have to be too carefully to read the chart and written instructions. I can't knit when I am tired or I will get a lot of mistakes. I don't want to risk that. I am not in rush now.
I just ordered this bag from Laura Nelkin. Because why not. Why, yes I am obsessed with her. Everyone have their own fans.
PS, President Trump just approved for to bomb to Syria country because of the chemical that killed the children. I was shocking about that. I don't against that because I am living in America. I can't do anything with it. But one thing I am hoping that we don't have WW3. I am too young, still.

I Don't Really Like "Typo"...
Knitting~ I always had misread, count how many stitches and rows with error, sometimes pattern do have an error that needs to be corrected, and oops knit into the wrong stitch or drop a stitch off of needle.
I had a few "fought" with my currently project because I was tired or not really pay closer attention. It is lace knitting, too thin yarn, easily into mistake. But it is fun. I am now working on center connector then I will begin at edge part after this connector. I am excited for beads too.
Lately, I was in mood for winter to stay so I can knit and watch Netflix~ THAT is so wrong! You dummy, brain. It's spring for god's sake!
I need to go and finish this project before April 1st for new project with the group of knitters~ that's call: Mystery Knit A Long. We knit something that we don't know what we are knitting into until we get it done then we will know what it is. It actually fun. This is my second MKAL. I am planning to sign up for the M Club this fall when it register opens. I should have sign up last fall, oh well.
PS, I have more than 3 mosquito bites. *itches all over my body* I took a hot bath with oils to help calm down my itching body. I am blaming on the kids, because they kept door opened for a long period of time and the mosquitoes got in.
I am going to knit for a while before I go to bed. I just can't stop! Happy knitting for me!

It Is Not Early, Is It?
Spring is HERE! Squee! Finally, I can able do to exercise outdoor than bored indoor for a long time. I love to see animals are coming out of their caves, the tree leafs are growing back, daylight is getting longer, and sun is getting brighter. I am too happy to see the chicken (3 blacks and one white) in horse field by the horses. Farm markets are coming back. Everything is coming back from their sleeping zone.
Wyatt got a plant cabbage from his class, so we planted right away in our front yard. My backyard is not great for garden place. So I am hoping this will growing like it should be. My tulips flowers are out and blooming.
Today, I went to Logan River Trail for my walk, I walked and jogged for 2 miles. I haven't been jogging for long, long, and LONGER time! It felt so good! I am looking forward to hike more trails in cache county. I can't wait for pool to open!
Spring is bringing me much of alive and happier from so tired and dark in winter season. But one thing I will miss~ plenty more time knitting and netflix movies. But we need to play outdoor.
I am knitting bamboo shawl, feel like spring shawl because it is so thin lace yarn weight. It is pretty purple color, not too dark, nor brighter color.
Happy spring and go outside and PLAY!

Today, I went to Logan River Trail for my walk, I walked and jogged for 2 miles. I haven't been jogging for long, long, and LONGER time! It felt so good! I am looking forward to hike more trails in cache county. I can't wait for pool to open!
Spring is bringing me much of alive and happier from so tired and dark in winter season. But one thing I will miss~ plenty more time knitting and netflix movies. But we need to play outdoor.
I am knitting bamboo shawl, feel like spring shawl because it is so thin lace yarn weight. It is pretty purple color, not too dark, nor brighter color.
Happy spring and go outside and PLAY!

Proof Of Life
Since from beginning of March, I became totally obsessed about Laura Nelkin patterns. I have tons following knitters in the world that I am their fan. Today, it is Laura Nelkin that I am obsessing about. I decided a few days after I read about her MKAL(Mystery Knit A Long) for April project. I was planning not to join this time, but somehow my mind shifted and wanted to knit this MKAL. I was hesitating at first place. After I read thread on forum in my ravelry, so I purchased a pattern for MKAL. I went downstairs to my basement and looked for yarns that will be right for this project. Turned it out that none of my stash boxes of yarns are not right type for this. I was little grumpy and considered to quit, but I couldn't because I am so obsessed. So I ignore and went ahead and ordered the yarns and beads from Jimmy Beans Wool online. I wanted light colors, not dark like winter colors. I was lucky, because it was two yarns in stock of that aster color, now it is out of stock. The beads are crystal clear silver lined Miyuki 6/0~ 20 grams and 8/0~ 100 grams beads, I was shocked to see it is 100 grams of 8/0 beads! Normally for general, it is 10-20 grams of 8/0. I needed 20 grams of 6/0 and 65 grams of 8/0. I love to have a lot of beads, especially 100 grams! Whoo!
Oh shit! There is flood in the bathroom, I gotta go. What a joy of being adulthood. (It was clogged from Emma's)
Anyway, I am back.
I have Facebook and instagram accounts. They are great to talk to any people over in the world. For example, I would never be known about Laura Nelkin if we don't have this internet, phone, etc like in 1800's. Also I do have a hard time to believe that Laura is real, not robot on internet. She is over there in eastern of US. I see my friends, family over and over on Facebook and instagram that is real so yes Laura is real on the other side of US. I am really happy that she exists or her design patterns would not be here. So do Ravelry too. In 1990's, there were no knitting online, only book publishers. There wasn't any online classes. You can't find more patterns than present time. I am really happy Ravelry is existing. It's MUCH easier with knitting life~ classes, yarns suggest, pattern, chat room, help tutorials, etc. I started to knit in 2009, ravelry opened in 2007, two years after. It like you can see, read, shop, classes, map, vacation, events, news, etc on Facebook. It is same with ravelry.
Right now I am working on Synthesis shawl, designed by Laura Nelkin. I finished knit a swatch for gauge for MKAL, it is now drying on block mat in basement. One great thing is basement~ the kids and future pets are not allow going in basement, so all of my workings are "protecting" from them.
PS, I created a memories book~ chatbook. You can look up on Facebook. It's so great! It only costs us $8 per book. I don't do scrapbook. I rather to knit than scrapbook.

The Hand Of Dentisy
Some day is hard to write blog, because I don't know what to say. Today is hard day. The kids' school was half day, they are out at noon. I don't have any clue why it is half day at school today. The kids are having meltdown when we got home from Smith's grocery store for food. They act like they are toddlers. Derek and I had headache because of them. They weren't good behavior in the store. They continued to be whine for the rest of afternoon. So Derek and I had enough so he went upstairs to get the medicines (sleep medicines) to calmed them down. So they, included Derek, took the naps. I was watching The Crown.
Being an adulthood and a parenthood is so HARD! I read the news stated that the house price and interest are rising. The grocery is also rising price. $100 is not enough food to cover for two weeks. Utah is becoming California. I can't make dinner everyday because the ingredients are so expensive to make a menu for one dinner. The kids are keeping hungry and hungry. I had a breakdown because of that. It is just unfair for human on the earth. We are stuck on the earth, we live here on the earth. That means we are suppose to be free of living, like the wild animals.
So I am knitting Lola's Choice fingerless mitts with the beads. One is down and one more to go. Knitting and Netflix are only to keeping me calm down with the chaos.
Hands~ we are work hard on the earth for the livings. It's not easy. One thing is so hard is restaurant, (Chuck-a-Rama) because I love it. I don't usually eat fast food restaurants. Only the real food like Chuck-a-Rama, their rolls are so damn good!
*sighs* but that is life. I am just glad that knitting and Netflix are existing. I don't know what to do without them.
