Random summer stuff

The summer has been very busy. I've been working a lot. My job at the school as a summer program nurse just ended on Friday, but I'm still doing shifts at WAVAC. I've decided to take my Saturdays back during the school year. I'm really enjoying working at the ambulance again. I did miss it.

We had a camping trip the first weekend in August. We went to Herkimer and stayed in a tent. The first day was beautiful and we got to do some tubing down the Mohawk river. The first time down was great. I had a little bit of trouble getting out of the river due to the current, but I was able to do it. The second time down was a nightmare. I got stuck hugging the shore and had a spider jump in my tube. I freaked out. I couldn't steer and had to have someone come and pull me back out into the river. Then when it got time to get out of the river, I couldn't cross because the current was strong. I had to have 2 of the firemen we were will come out and rescue me. It was scarry. I didn't go tubing after that. Saturday it rained all day and I was bored. We almost went home, but decided to just stay the night and leave in the morning. I had the worst heartburn I've ever had in my life and it caused me to start wheezing. Nothing would help it. I took 5 rolaids and it didn't touch it. Then someone gave me pepto and that helped. The next day when we got home I was helping lay the tent out in the front yard to dry and I got stung by a bee. Usually I love camping, but this trip kinda sucked.

Knitting has been great. I'm almost done with my CPH. I'm almost done with my first sweet tart sock from the BMFA sock club. I made a pair of hunting socks for my father in law. I also made a few dishcloths. Mostly I've been working on my CPH. If you have a ravelry account you can check my stuff out at cweigand. I also made a few pairs of socks in the beginning of the summer. I go back to work in about 2 weeks, and I think I'm ready.
