Well, I searched and searched.  I even printed out a pattern or two.  I looked at free ones and ones I&#8217;d need to buy.  I even, gulp, decided that if it was crochet that was necessary to get a poncho, then that&#8217;s what I&#8217;d do!  But I could NOT find anything to make me happy!  Yesterday I started looking again&#8230;.and I kept coming back to a very simple shawl&#8230;.and I realized how nice my yarn would look in a shawl&#8230;and how cozy I&#8217;d feel all wrapped up in it!  I started last night and already love the look of it!  So, once again &#8211; comfort overrode fashion!<\/p>\n<p>And, in my <strong>Family life<\/strong>&#8230;I finally went to the Dr.  She asked why it had been so long since I&#8217;d been in&#8230;and I replied, &#8220;I guess I finally decided life was worth living!&#8221;  LOL  I know, a bit blunt, but it&#8217;s the truth.  She was able to give me a referral to the sleep clinic.  I&#8217;m starting to be hopeful that I might start feeling better!  I&#8217;m not going to look at the &#8216;what ifs&#8217; &#8211; I&#8217;m going to be optimistic that they can and will help me!<\/p>\n<p>I wore my new scarf today &#8211; love, love, love it!  Well, I had more to say, but Homeschool Park day is calling &#8211; I&#8217;ll try and write tonight!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><div class=\"fb-share-button\" data-href=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=159\" data-layout=\"button_count\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><div class=\"pinterest_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2F%3Fp%3D159&#038;media=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F10%2Fcropped-poppy-150x150.jpg&#038;description=A%20little%20bit%20of%20this....a%20little%20bit%20of%20that\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\"><img src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=159\" data-text=\"A little bit of this....a little bit of that\" data-via=\"Knitnmom\" >Tweet<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a class=\"tumblr-share-button\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/share\" data-title=\"A little bit of this....a little bit of that\" data-content=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=159\" title=\"Share on Tumblr\"data-posttype=\"link\">Share on Tumblr<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button\" href=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=159\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\" ><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;width:150px;\"><ul style=\"background-image:none;\"><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20A%20little%20bit%20of%20this....a%20little%20bit%20of%20that&body=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2F%3Fp%3D159&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
