I got nothin'

Seriously, nothing. I have been battling this weird cold, allergy, sinus infection thing for like 2 weeks now and honestly I'm tired of feeling sick. It's getting to the point where I can hardly sleep and this alone is causing way more trouble than anything else. I think today I'm just gonna veg out on the couch and just ignore the dishes, which wont be that hard cause I do the almost daily, I'm really good at it. I think that it's also fair that I ignore the laundry that needs to be put away, I don't want the dishes to be jealous. If anyone wants to send over their spare housekeeper that would be awesome, just as long as she doesn't clean up too well, I don't want to raise my family's expectations of an actual tidy house. Okay, I'm off to veg out on the couch, Scratchy is sleeping(lucky)and I'm gonna try to bore myself to sleep with mass quantities of Stocking stitch. *Edited to add* As per Amy's suggestion that I cast on something else, I did. But to be perfectly honest I did so yesterday before I knew about her suggestion. The cotton seriously hurt my hands. I cast on a hat and a sock...and a mitten. Also does anyone have any suggestions as to a project that is quick, classy and substantial enough to impress other knitters. I need to have something to wear to the Kid n' Ewe festival in November. Maybe a scarf, or a vest. Can I knit a vest in 2 weeks?
