First update in forever
Work is kicking my ass. Sorry for the lack of updates here. We've cast six beams out of 22, broken 3, and have usable data from 1. Spent all day Saturday breaking beams, which was fun, but I don't feel like I've had a weekend at all. Sunday night babysat for a friend's kid. I've forgotten how much energy 4 year olds have. She was a cutie, though. It was fun.
My roomie is settling down. No more fires and only a couple near misses. I dunno how you expect to hear a tea kettle whistling if you are on the phone. Go figure. I dreamt a couple nights ago that she got hit by a bus and that I was more annoyed than anything else. Bad Chloe.
Weather here has been gorgous and fallish. Cold, clear, with lots of brilliant trees. I love Fall, but I can't wait for it to snow.
In HOL news, am excited about the Olympics. I still need to get my OWL work done, though. I dunno if the next lesson is even up. I'm glad I didn't sign up for other classes.
On the knitting front, I've mostly been plugging away at my mitered square blanket. I have about 18 squares done (out of 48). I finally figured out what to do with all the fancy yarn I have, and will make a mitered square afghan out of it. I think it'll be really cool. I've just discovered all the cool yarn on eBay. I need to stay away from there. I need a new monitor soon, my old CRT is losing it's color range and it's getting irritating. I should be able to buy one with my next paycheck (two weeks), provided the bills don't kill me.
I also want a new coat, but I think I'll wait and see if I get one for Christmas. My old one is too big and starting to look scruffy.
