He's still using it

And Abby too! I clean the box twice per day and each time there has been something in it from him and she adds something later. I am so thrilled. I went and got a second box for Abby today so now the box in the sunroom is the new stuff. I noticed that Abby seemed to really like the new stuff and I haven't seen much activity in the old box so I figured I'd change it out. Tonight Marco will be in the bathroom and Abby will have the run of the house. If she uses the box overnight we'll have an answer. In the meanwhile, I am sooooooooooooooo pleased!

Today I took off the bottom of the first sweater I ever knit. I'm into redoing sweaters at the moment I guess. It is about three inches too short, so I am going to add length. Everything was going well. Too well in fact. I took off the bottom, got the stitches on the needle, and started knitting. So what went wrong? My hands. I did four rounds and my tendinitis is back. WTH? I realized that I got tendinitis the first time on that sweater. There must be something about the yarn that I can't handle. So I of course put it down as soon as I felt the pain. Now I have to figure out what to do (and hope my hands stop hurting soon). I don't want to work on it if it is going to hurt me. I wonder if I could "hire" someone to do it for me. How weird. I was able to work on Bill's socks today with no issue. I'll keep an eye on that.

In other news, I thought one of the sago palms out front was dying. Then I noticed something odd a few days ago.

This morning I saw this:

I think it is on the rebound! Yay! Now if only the one in the back would come back. And the hedges.
