Look at our May picture.  It's green!  I thought the trees would be greener but not yet.

Yesterday I worked on the scarf.  It's in Lion Brand Chenille Sensations yarn which is a chenille texture (as the name suggests.  I really wanted to make the pattern called Palindrome which is a cabled scarf but it just didn't look good. I'm doing "My Garter Slipped Scarf (free on Ravelry) which as the name says is slip stitches and looks much better.  It's quite and easy pattern and I think I will only need four balls to make it.  Today I want to play WOW (if it works) so I won't get anything done and tomorrow is charity knitting.

I listened to podcasts yesterday.  I had a lot of trouble with A Homespun House.  The video kept freezing so I mostly listened to that one.  I think I'm on episode 45 of Knit 1 Heat Too and it's still fun.

The thing that is bothering me right now is that school districts in general do not have enough money to have a nurse on staff all day every day.  At my kids school the nurse splits her time between two schools.  This is not new.  I know when I was growing up it was the same way.  It falls to the secretaries then to deal with sickness and injury.  When I was at the school there was a little girl there who has diabetes and she was checking her blood.  The little girl says to the secretary "80 isn't low, anything below 80 is low."
Which prompted the secretaries to discuss what should be done since lunch was still and hour and a half away.  I think they were going to give her some Pepsi just to get her through till lunch I don't know because I didn't stay in the office.  It's shouldn't be their job though, and if something goes wrong they will get in trouble.  This is why I give them a box of chocolate at Christmas and the end of the year.  I don't want to leave this on a sad note I just wanted to get my frustration out.

Today is Free Comic Book Day.  Many local comic book stores give out free comics and other things as promotions.  The comics are ones from comic book companies that are specific for this one day.  My kids also got a free t-shirt for the show Arrow and a little rubber bracelet.  They had many comics for $1 but you really have to dig through a lot.  They had people there dressed as Spider Man, Dead Pool, Harley Quinn, and Electra.  Many people also came dressed up.  I did take some picture on my phone of the kids with Spider Man and Dead Pool but my phone doesn't talk to my computer.  We had a fun time I just wish we had more money.

I wrote this 5/3 but didn't realize I didn't post it so here it is a little late.
