I have lots of little things to share. Tragically, many of them require photos, which I cannot upload because my camera cable is 75 miles away. Bullets will have to do.
- I have been back in Minneapolis at the salt mines* accounting job for four weeks now, which accounts for the shocking lack of real posts.
- This situation will continue until some days after April 17.
- Deal with it.
- My knitting has slumped to the purely mindless, a 31-stitch-wide Montego Bay scarf.
- That pattern gave me fits the first time I made it, but now it is just mindless enough. Really, how hard can a 2-stitch pattern be?
- Don't answer that.
- The yarn is the Alchemy Silk Purse that I thought was destined for something else.
- I realized since I wrote that post that I would get a lot more use out of a long skinny scarf than a triangular shawlette.
- Silk yarn is lovely to knit.
- Silk yarn is easily damaged by careless frogging or tinking.
- I don't care.
- Much.
- I have a nearly visceral urge to cast on some socks.
- Not gonna happen, though. I have forbidden myself to touch sock yarn until I finish this scarf.
- At the rate I am going that will take until sometime after April 17.
- Work is getting really busy. A week ago on Friday afternoon I ran out of work, so I put out an email to the managers I work for, alerting them to my availability.
- Guess what. I got more work.
- So much that I worked all this past weekend.
- And had to take off most of today because I had worked myself into a migraine.
- Silly kats never learn.
- The drain pipe between this house and the city sewer was blocked on Saturday.
- Ewww.
- Smokey and I spent Sunday evening roto-rootering it out.
- More ewww.
- It works now.
- :-)
- The house still smells.
- :-(
- The weather is nearly warm enough here for open windows.
- :-)
- Nearly.
- :-(
- On Sunday the only snow I could see in the city was a few scraps in places where 1, it had been piled up, and b, it was in the shade.
- Today even those had melted.
- :-)
- Nice weather is nice.
- Not for the farmers, though; we went into the winter in a drought condition and got only a fraction of the normal snowfall.
- Watch for food prices to rise.
- You heard it here first.
Okay, enough for tonight. Morning always comes earlier than it should, imho.
* This is a joke and not at all fair to the job. I like what I do, my employer is one of the best, and, last but not least, they pay me almost as much as I think I am worth ;-)
