The calm before the storm

I spent most all of yesterday trying to find a new crochet project. I started and abandoned a half dozen ideas. I finally settled on one. Maybe. I think. Knitting is easy. Find a pattern, make it. But, for some reason, crochet just does not work that way for me. For one thing, knitting is not nearly as easy to do on the fly. With crochet, if you get a good enough photo, you can practically make what you see. I find a pattern but it's for the wrong sized yarn or it's not plus sized or I don't like the stitch OR, in many cases, it is poorly written - so I wing it. And then don't like my wing. It's all part of the process and I really enjoy the process - far more than the result.

All of this was done while watching Justified. There are 7 seasons and I just finished season 4. It is so well done.

Today, I'll be doing much of the same after I finish my chores. But, I have a lot of chores. I think I'm going to do a grid tidy. Start at one end of the house and put everything away and tidy up until I get to the other end. I'm not going to worry about dusting because I am sure the install and clean up will create mounds of dust. I might just hire someone to come in and tackle all surfaces once everything is done. But at least now, I can move the floatsum and jetsum into proper places.

It's just now 8 am and only becoming daylight a little. I'm going to miss these dark mornings.

But, I think I'll get an early start on Project Pick Shit Up.

I saw the headline and the second sentence into the article I saw was a major spoiler so I am avoiding all information about this until I finish the current series. Thanks for the link. I'll click on it once I hit the last episode 😃

My mother had a heat pump put in (they've been very popular here for years) and they managed to do it without messing up the house. In fact I've never heard anybody say it was a messy install. Fingers crossed
