It has been a very long few weeks.

Work has left me exhausted, but in a good way.  Most of it is mental exhaustion from thinking and calculating, though being on your feet all day does take its toll.

Home life has also been trying, though I'll spare you the details.

The knitting has slowed down to here-and-there work, mostly consisting of what I can ( Read more... )

Let's have some positives to balance out yesterday's post, shall we?

I've spent this entire weekend, minus ~2 hours of job training yesterday, holed up in my room studying for finals.  I got up to make a fast run to the C-store earlier, and my hip audibly popped in protest when I moved.  What's more, every single one of my dreams this week has had ( Read more... )

I had a huge BID (Big Issues Debate) post ready to go about the Cordoba House.  I'd really thought it through, and I thought my opinion was very carefully but honestly stated ( Read more... )

I'm sure you've all had those moments.  Whether it's while writing a term paper or dozing through a boring class, there's always been a moment where you go "This is never going to end.  I'm going to be stuck here forever, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Work is driving me crazy.  If I was old enough, I would drink.  Since I'm not, I turn to writing and knitting.  (Less to regret in the morning, anyway ( Read more... )

1. I am still working on Sherrie's Rivendell.
2. The gray is depressing me; I want to drop it and work on something else.  But won't, since I'm getting paid for it.
3. I really want to work on Lien, but I don't have the yarn for it.
4. It is so doggone nice outside these days.
5. My weekend starts at 11 am tomorrow.
6. I don't really want to go home, ( Read more... )
