Wool & Words

I should be at home right now, doing some laundry, making coffee, planning out my week, checking my mail, enjoying my cable modem--you know, just puttering around.

Instead, I type this from my mom's house, where I'm reinstalled for a few days while we get Steve's transmission sorted out. He's had an ongoing issue with his transmission, one that the folks at the transmission place he brings his car to (a chain that will not be named) haven't yet seemed to have figured out. As we were leaving yesterday, the transmission just stopped working, and my parents came out to get us and called a local towing service to bring the car to the Chain That Will Not Be Named.

So here we wait. I've been working up web templates for my spring course pages as a way to feel productive. This afternoon I'm going to read a few articles in hopes that I can get some more work done on my dissertation proposal which is just languishing. And at some point in the next day or two I've got to get more done on the stylesheets for the economics department project.

And, of course, there's knitting. I'm still doing Christmas knitting--gasp--so it's a socksy looking week for me. I'm trying to master the circular methods, and am currently doing a pair on two circs. The next will be attempted on one circ. I love my dpns, but I'm kinda liking the circs at the moment.

I've got so many pics to upload--perhaps I can get to a Kinko's and take advantage of my t-mobile wireless connection to upload them.

Cheers!
