Ugh, it's been a long month

So I got sick for a while and couldn't update. I had some trouble with a kidney stone and a kidney infection. Fortunately, I was sent to the ER from my doctor and they kept me for a few days to make sure everything was going to go back to normal. They scheduled me to have a surgery type of thing done to bust up the stone and so now I'm back home and doing okay; just in a little bit of pain and such. Meh. I go back in January to make sure everything went as expected and such. After all of this, I just have to work on getting myself out of debt. Anyway, Christmas went better than expected besides for dad and I both being sick. Nephew seemed to have fun and everything, which was my greatest worry. I got a book from my brother-in-law and sister that I absolutely love. It's amazing. "Geeky Girl, A Lazy Susan Guide" It's awesome. Just one of my wishes didn't come true but I still have hope for my birthday, maybe. Just maybe. Or there is always next Christmas. So that's an update... Yepp... I'm groggy from meds. Decided it was time to blog since I haven't in a while. So there you have it.

I know this seems crazy but I have been thinking lately; what if for every decision we make, another world is created--even if we cannot see or hear that world or know the outcome of the other decision we left standing? For example, if I had chose to wear my blue, white, and yellow sweater today instead of my red one, what if in some other world, I chose my red. Would my morning have been better than it is in the blue, white, and yellow sweater world? What if another world was created when I chose hot chocolate over coffee? What would happen in that world? Is there another me with a better life? It told you it seemed crazy. I just can't seem to shake that thought. If there is another world, did I lose the family I've lost in this one or have I lost different people in it? Would I still have the same fears, the same goals, the same thoughts and feelings? And sometimes when I feel like I shift from this world to another, just kind of space out, is that were I go? Into the unseen worlds?

I have to admit, this new wonder came from the Dean Koontz novel, From The Corner Of His Eye but it still makes me ponder if in fact there is something to this. If there is, how would we know? How would we not know?

"Well, you see, that's the funny thing about all the important choices we make. If we make a really big wrong choice, if we do the really awful wrong thing, we're given another chance to continue on the right path. So the very moment I stupidly stepped off the curb without looking, I created another world where I did look both ways and saw the rhinoceros coming..." -- Tom Vanadium, From The Corner of His Eye, novel by Dean Koontz, (trying to explain, in a lie, why his face is scarred up to a child)

I know it's strange, and I know it's a novel, but what if to some degree this would be true? If this were true, is there ever really a reason to be sad for anything, since if someone where else in a world that we haven't discovered, the sad part that happens here doesn't happen there? Maybe somewhere, my true love has already came, I'm with him and happy, in college to become an English teacher, or something like that. So can I have hope for my future if I think that in some way, somewhere else, I am right where I had wanted to be... but then again, what if I didn't want to be there in that world, would I be miserable there too even if I took the path I wanted to in this one?

Just something to think about. 

Knitting Project 2: Cat shirt

Normally I don't make my pets wear clothes but Tater had been digging at himself and pulling out his fur. So instead of punishing him for it, I decided to make him a tiny shirt/vest to cover his fur to keep him from trying to harm himself any further. Needless to say, it worked. Of course, he doesn't like it too much but he'll get used to it, I hope.

So here's my Taterbug and the freshly knitted shirt.

Colors: Teal, White, and Multicolored
