Feb 13

Good news: my Medieval Lit prof liked my paper proposal on the morphing bodies to land and vise versa. That justifies buying the book: The Tain (pronounced like ‘coin’ but with a ‘t’). It should be in by the end of the month. Part of my StepBrother’s birthday present will probably contain a sample of the text. If blood, guts, and war cannot tempt a boy to read, nothing will. The Maternal Grandmother had a birthday today and she loved her felted shoes.

Bad news: the APN called me ‘Strap Throat Mary’ as this is the second time I have come down with it this year. He had the nerve to have Mom tell me I cannot go to class on Thursday if my fever hasn’t broken. Ok, so I only have one class that is meeting on that day; but I do not like missing class, even if I had to miss my night class tonight. I just got tired of the sore joints and raw throat.

It looks like I will not be going to my yarn shop for awhile. I stepped into a craft store—just to look and walked out with a bag of clearance yarn. Needless to say, I need to thin out my stash again. The trunk that contains the stash is having difficulty closing. Scarf anyone? You can knit it yourself.
