To North Carolina and Back AgainUnfortunately, my parents still have my camera, so I can't show you pics of my incredibly cute cousin/nephew however-he's-related to me. I think my mom was ready to stuff the little guy in her coat and casually get in the car. And I think I might have let her! ;)Cricket survived the weekend- although she was VERY snuggly when I got home. I found out from the cat-sitter that she got breakfast AND dinner on saturday, and then breakfast on sunday, even though all he had to do was 1 meal on saturday. So really, the princess shouldn't complain (not that that'll stop her!) :) This morning I started my new 4 day schedule at work- I was here at 6:30. Ugh. A few plusses, though- I think my sleep-schedule is a bit more in synch getting up an hour or so earlier... I think by 7 (when I used to get up) I was in the middle of one of the deep sleep sections, and it made getting up really difficult. I didn't have as much trouble this morning (watch- tomorrow will be painful!) Also, the traffic is SO much better earlier- no, I don't drive, but I do bike, and it is much nicer to be able to cross the street without getting plowed by someone eating breakfast/applying makeup/ whatever. I am going to force myself to go to the gym before lunch to wake myself up for the afternoon- I've been slacking off big-time with the gym, and I decided I need to put it back into my daily routine. Especially since the ever-earlier sunsets make after-work hiking pretty much a thing of the past. Not too much knitting progress this weekend- I was too busy getting wrapped around a tiny baby finger. :) I did finish the fingers on the first mitten-glove... I think I'll do the mitten part next, so that the thumb won't be in the way while I'm picking up sts and everything. I also started Frode last night- I know I really should have been working on the seams of ribbie, but after driving for 12+ hours over the weekend, I wasn't willing to trust my seaming skills. So ribbie might languish, un-seamed, until Friday Oct 17- my first friday off AT HOME. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!! 0 comments || # |
