Wool & Words

It's been a crazy month since graduation. I went right back to work, prepped the semester, started teaching and running orientation sessions for many many many freshmen--it's been all that I can do to keep my head above water. I worked and worked and worked some more. Then the Labor Day weekend arrived and the inevitable happened: I got sick.

I always get sick at breaks. The day before a long weekend I get a little tickle in my throat or a mild headache and I know that all my dreams of home productivity, of catching up on my personal life needs, of taking care of business are gone. I haven't been to a movie in ages--I missed the most recent Harry Potter flick--and I've eaten out much more than I should because I don't have the time or energy to clean the kitchen and buy groceries. And things go on like this, week after week, until I get a long weekend and then I get sick...and the cycle continues.

Enough of that whining. I'm working on getting better.

As for my knitting, it goes along. I'm working on a vest right now, in Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed (soooo soft and luscious!) and socks (always socks), and thinking about white lacy things. I would show you pictures, but I recently upgraded to Vista and my card reader isn't responding. At least that's something I can work on from my bed...

Have a great weekend!
