Been dreaming about knitting a shawl. And this one is finally starting to take shape. There is such a satisfaction and enjoyment in watching the lace pattern develop. My first shawl and I’m still learning to read the chart but it’s always a wonder how the k2tog and p2tog, and yarn overs can produce such a delicate looking piece of art.
Of course inspector benny and tido have to make sure the sock is up to par. But they won’t stay still for a pose.
Came home from work, got a beer from the frig and headed out to the pool to clean the filter, skim the leaves, put away stuff to the garage and plant some herbs in the pots that Leo has brought over. Need to get more planting soil for basil and cilantro. Put a couple of laundry in the wash, sprayed weed killer in the drive way, clean the kitty litter box. And knitted.
The 7 hours at home passed so much faster than the 9 hours at work. And every night I have to tell myself to go to bed by midnight so I can get up in the morning.
Jason came to tell me that the webtrends server crashed at the end of the day. Contacted paul and he got me a senior tech support to talk to, got me the license key and downloaded the software in preparation to install it on a new server if we can’t revive the hard drive. It’s going to be a busy few days coming up.
And it’s midnight again and should go to bed now, dance classes tomorrow night, it’s going to be a long day.
Now the latest one. And Elim promised that it’s the last. It had better be!! But I do feel blessed by my kids.
Flowers from my kids. I was so pleasantly surprised when someone showed up at my office with a big box saying Pro Flowers. He said, “You must have done something right.” I sure did!! I have some fantastic kids, they are the best any parent can have. Sensitive, caring, responsible, ambitious, hard working, and loving. Man, am I lucky to have them.
The full glory will be revealed tomorrow after the flowers have a chance to drink up the water today.
