Looking forward to a nap...already
It’s cold out there this morning. Wood is getting delivered today and we will be out there stacking it. ARGH!
I started on the fourth row of the “playing with entrelac/leftover sock yarn” project but it was getting late so I didn’t get any further.
Looking back on my night, I really don’t know why I went to bed. Didn’t get much sleep and am now fighting the urge to go crawl back in. If it wasn’t my Dearest keeping me awake with ear-splitting, rumbling snores, it was Nuit demanding to be cuddled.
I did finish my 50th book read last night. Yay!
Suns up, got to get moving.
