I didn't last 24 hours
Jun. 23rd, 2014 03:22 pmYesterday, after I finished the last bear, I started on a non-bear. It's a shrug made out of leftover bear bits. I couldn't find a pattern I wanted so I made it up. It's mostly an easy stitch and one piece. I got it, this morning, to a place where now, for hours and hours, I can just pick it up and knit blindly like in movies or other places. Easy peasy traveling knitting. It's ready to pick up and go.
So I put it down and started a new bear. Apparently, I can't go bareless for very long!
Today's the first afternoon when it got hot enough in here to need the air conditioner. I love this air conditioner. Cooled off the joint in no time.
Plus now the sun is gone. Yeah! I'm such a weather wimp. Now that there's no sun, I'm thinking I could go this afternoon to get my haircut. I could take a carload of stuff that I have ready to the Goodwill. I could... but I won't. It's 3:15. It is stupid to put yourself in afternoon traffic when you absolutely do not have to.
I went down to check the mail and ran into neighbor Ann who was taking a cart full of stuff to recycling/trash... We exchanged how are you's and hopefully that will count as a visit and I'll get another couple of days off.
Walgreens, bless their hearts, is sending that prescription FedEx Over - night! I did not ask and, really was not even cranky on the phone. They just did it. Nice. of them.
Baseball is Boston tonight at home - 7:30. Always exciting to play Boston. There are a bascillion Bostonians in Seattle and they come out in droves for the game. Yet another reason to keep my car in the garage this afternoon.

Thank you. As usual, you will, of course, take the rest of the homestand but we will always have last night to remember.
