Yesterday hubby got me the air ticket to travel.  I'll be leaving Egypt on March 11th and will travel directly to NY.  Still I need to buy the ticket from NY to PR.  I hope to do that tonight or at least the week.  I'll arrive to NY around 4 pm and the next available and affordable trip to PR is at 9 pm.  I don't want to stay in NY one night because the flight is booked so I have to do it fast.  Not that I don't like NY but been alone in NY is boring.  None of my friends live near the JFK airport.  Or is there someone that lives near the airport?  In that case I can spent a couple of days.  

So now that it's official the trip my insomnia and nerves will go from bad to worst. *sigh*  It's something that always happens.  The packing, the things to buy for others, the cleaning of the house...  Really makes me sick all this.  One or two days before the trip I totally stop sleeping.  I have been up to 72 hours awake.  And no, I barely sleep on the plane.  I snore and I'm ashame of it.  May be I can snooze like 10 minutes or so, but that's not really sleeping.

I'm trying to keep myself calm and I'm crocheting.  Today I finished another crochet doily.  This one is oval with 2 pineapples at the end.  It took me like 12-15 hours to finish, taking a lot of rest between rounds.  I don't want the carpal tunnel flare up again.

The pattern is from a Decorative Crochet magazine #59.  The thread is Melanie #10, color #161; a variegated thread with pink, lavender, blue, mint green and white.  Here is the magazine photo so you can see well the design.


I have some thread left and I'm making a small crochet Bruge doily.  I hope the thread is enough.  I haven't make crochet Bruge in years!!!  Let see if I can get it again.
