I am back home at last. House-sitting for the StepPaternal Grandmother was not what I thought it would be. It is very nice indeed to be able to sleep in my own bed. With my own Puppy, hers just were not the same as mine.
Thursday was one of those days that never seemed to end. I thought it would end around 1800 but that simply did not happen. It was close to 2200 before the day ended. And yesterday ended five hours ago.
Despite a lingering sore throat and being tired, everything is just peachy. I read The Tain in two settings. That was a wonderful read, well worth the wait. I am glad I talked myself into buying it. Now to figure out what to write my paper on.
Half the people whom I could have sworn know not which side of the planet my Dad inhabits have been keeping my phone busy this past hour, inquiring how my Paternal Grandmother made it through a rather nasty storm this afternoon. This is rather odd. The storm was not as bad here, however, we were forced indoors for a spell while it passed by. It finally cleared up enough for me to rush to a bookstore to by my StepBrother a birthday present as I was too sick to knit him up a pair of mittens.
As of this moment, I have five projects going. 3 scarves, 1 lacy shawl, and a Christmas present that never got finished. Not so horrible is it? Tuesday is going to be hard, it is a long stretch between classes and I found a quicker way to the craft store last week. Why did I pick ‘buying new yarn’ as my Lent forfeit? Oh yeah, it was easier than giving up knitting.
