Thunder and Lightning

I'm sitting here listening to the thunder, which I hope brings much longed for rain to cool the Georgia heat. School is back in session and I'm taking a moment to enjoy the pleasant sensation of my ass on the couch. No knitting to hand, I'm afraid; I have preparations for tomorrow's lessons to make. Still, it's good to be back to teaching, back to the schedule and the routine, back to productive working.

In other news, we now have a date and a church, so I think we'll be getting married next year. I really need to enjoy this brief respite, eh?

When next we meet: my Sockapalooza package, which is absolutely lovely.

Too Hot to Blog

or knit, or read, or think. When I finally get myself home, it's all I can do to fill a glass of water and pour myself into bed. My head hurts.

People, stay hydrated and use sunscreen. Back when temps have cooled enough to think.

The Gown Adds 100 Pounds. . .

I'm graduated, finished, complete in that whole school thang! Have a glass of something tasty wherever you are for me!

Back tomorrow with some knitting content!

In Spite of It All

My back is aching, my mind is wandering, my eyes are heavy with sleepiness, and if I never see the inside of my car again, it will be far, far too soon.

My Sockapalooza 4 socks will be delayed due to a miscalculation on my part that means the first sock I knit is too small. My house is an absolute wreck, my parents will be here in less than 48 hours, and while they are staying at a local hotel, they will certainly wish to see my home and I'll have to either deny them or bear the shame.

My trip home was good, but not as productive as I'd hoped. We know when and where we want to marry, but cannot set either in contractual stone until the Person Who Does the Reservations returns from the summer session break. My grandparents are all in good health, though, and I got to spend lots of time with them.

And I am home and in my favorite cotton nightgown and in my bed and all is right with the world. For that, I am thankful.
