more things
so the test today went ok. I had to drink a huge cup of this super nasty stuff that had the taste and consistency of paint. but at least it was over quickly. they said for some people it takes a couple hours, depending on how fast your digestive system works. but I was done in under an hour. score.
I don't think I actually find out the results till I go back to see the doctor in October, but I'm gonna consider the matter closed for now.
after that I cam home and napped from about 10am to 4pm. I've been really tense lately, about the test and other assorted things, and it just all kinda caught up with me and knocked me on my ass. I've been really tired and achey and clenching my teeth constantly for weeks, but now that one thing is out of the way I'm feeling a bit better. this week my mom is on vacation so we're gonna take some day trips and do some fun stuff, so that should help too. I'm tired of being in a life funk.
I also tried to go to our local yarn shop this afternoon, only to find it is no longer in business D: so now there are no yarn shops anywhere around here, except the big chain craft stores which only stock cheap crappy yarn. where will I get my fix now?! I resorted to ordering the yarn for my next sweater online, but I don't like doing that. it's hard to tell how a yarn will knit up just from a digital picture. you gotta get a feel for it, you know? I also hate the waiting factor; when I think of a new project, I want to start it now, not in 5-7 days. but alas, what else can I do now? I've been spoiled by living close to awesome independent shops for so long.
while I wait for the sweater yarn to arrive I think I will attempt my first pair of socks. do any of you guys knit socks? is it really hard? know any patterns that are good for beginners? dpns aren't my favorite, but I'm proficient with them, I guess. I really just want to try a new skill. advanced colorwork is also on my agenda.
lastly, all the rules and details for merlin_games will be up in just a few days. it's shaping up to be awesome! kerryblaze and the other captains have been working hard to iron out the bumps and make it all nice and shiny and perfect. SO KEEP AN EYE OUT!
