Grumble Grumble, It's MondayIt seems like it was just Friday, and now it's Monday. Ugh. I still say we should make all weekends 3-day affairs.Of course, I probably would be in a slightly better mood if I had checked my mail earlier on Saturday- as it is, I have to wait until this afternoon to retrieve my package of chickami yarn. I guess in a way that's better, since I would probably have abandoned my mittens if I had gotten my yarn. I hope to finish the mittens in the next couple of days: (fronts) 
(backs) 
As you can probably see on the backs, I continued to repeat my "design element." I'm not sure if I really like it or not- but I don't dislike it enough to worry about it! I still have to weave in lots of ends and generally tidy things up before these are actually done. Of course, I still need to tidy up Dalmore... but since both Dalmore and the mittens are Christmas gifts, I still have plenty of time. :) Next weekend I start working job #2... well, I kinda start working... I'll work about 3-4 hours on Saturday. But I'll work both weekend days for the rest of August, and then every Saturday from September on. It won't break the bank, but it'll give me a little extra wiggle-room every month, and hopefully make it easier to get to my savings-goal before law school- $20 k in the bank. I think I'll make it- but we'll see. Sadly, even $20k wouldn't pay for 1 full year of tuition- it would barely pay for 1 semester. So much money!!! I have to keep reminding myself of what my dad says- "education is an investment in yourself." And hopefully it'll turn out to be a GOOD investment, and I'll be rewarded not only with financial stability (I'm not asking to be wealthy, just modestly comfortable), and job-satisfaction. The latter being more important, and so far more elusive. Ah, heavy thoughts for a Monday. Hope everyone had a great weekend!! olet lucernam ":it bears the mark of nightly toil (it smells of the lamp)"
