Foxglove for the Win

I was going to write this weeks ago but then Carole beat me to the punch. It's a foxglove conspiracy.
 
 I'm feeling irritated tonight because I'm trying to use my library's downloadable audiobook system for the first time. I have avoided it because... oh, because these things tend to be a huge pain in the ass to use. They spend so much time on DRM stuff and lending periods and allowed users that nobody pays much attention to, oh, usability or piddly things like that. And guess what? It IS a huge pain in the ass to use. So much so that now it's 1 1/2 hours later and I'm bailing on this. I want to get sleep tonight.   
 Big changes coming. I am sad, and anxious, and a little excited. No, I am NOT pregnant. YES, the Love Monkey is still around and kicking. Meanwhile I have to go fly to Illinois for a funeral. Heaven help the TSA if they decide that this is the one time I can't take my knitting needles.

Big changes always freak me out. I hope yours are for the best! Sorry to hear about the funeral.

Foxgloves are so pretty! LOVE. Our glads went crazy this year.

Beautiful foxglove! I hope the changes are easily adapted to.

And I don't like our library's download thing either. I've managed it successfully once.

Sorry to hear you're attending a funeral. I didn't have any trouble flying with my knitting last week (had size 1, 5, and 8 circular needles in my carry on). Hope the changes are for the best - I have good news to share when you have time to catch up :)

I am not pleased with the non-usability of the downloadable stuff from our library system, either. [grump, grump, grump] Good luck with your changes, and I plan to put some foxgloves in my new front door flower garden.
