Well, even though it seems to be monsoon season here in the DC area, my ceiling has not yet fallen in, nor has it even leaked much today. Maybe the wind was just driving the rain up under the shingles? I don’t know, but it’s not dripping now. So…

I had to work this weekend, of course. It’s the weekend before tech and working the weekend is a given. i don’t mind too much, as this is what I’d expected going in. working three or four weekends in a row however, that’s been known to make me cranky, but hey. Life is nothing if not unpredictable. Like my old friend suddenly turning up again. Sitting at work, tracking a budget issue, and up pops a message window! The nice surprises keep me smiling while the unpleasant ones make for good stories later.

Like I mentioned in the last post, I have too been knitting! I swear! (remember when I thought this would be just a knitting blog? HAH!) Here’s proof!

I really want to finish this. Mostly because it feels like I haven’t had a Finished Object (or FO in knitblog-ese) in forEVER. I think the knitting olympics screwed with my sense of accomplishment for the year. I’ve been spinning, too! That beautiful purple merino/tencel I got in Boston. Oh man is it soft! But I seem to have less time for that even! I’ve had too many books to finish. I’m almost done with the latest one- it’s off to the printer next week. And by then tech will be over as well, and we’ll see what happens after that.
