Sometimes a shortcut turns out badly

I really hate gathering, but there is no way this is better. This pinning method took at least 15 minutes for a few inches.

Well it looks like making a list helped.

Priorities

This list is mostly for myself, I found that I have an alarming number of unfinished knitting projects.

WIP List:
Equisetum hat
Summer in Kansas shawl
Crochet Shrug
Socks for Russ
Tapestry

If I stick to this list, I should finish Tapestry just in time for fall. We will see how that goes, I knit the first few rows the other day and the wool made my hands hot.

Nice thing about remodeling…

Is that all the furniture is already cleared out. I am able to lay out this king size quilt before the drywall gets redone. So excited!

I finished finals this week and it feels so strange to wake up and know that I have NOTHING TO GET DONE TODAY. Except work on fun stuff for myself. Feels good.

 

This has been my view for the past hour. The pinning seems never ending.

So this happened…

 


This is a picture of my husband, Russ. He had just cut a hole in the ceiling to drain water.

One hour earlier I had started a load of sheets in the washer, and the hot water got stuck in the open position and quietly flooded the laundry room upstairs. I was able to shut the water off pretty quickly, but not before the whole first floor ceiling began leaking from every light fixture and air vent.

Its finals week, and I am very busy with social obligations as well. The whole flooding thing was not part of the plan. I am physically and mentally exhausted. I have nowhere to sit or eat downstairs, no tv, and sporadic internet.

I’d love to fast forward to next week.
