Saturday

All day yesterday it felt like Saturday to me, I guess because I didn't have to work and there was college football on the TV.  I don't really know.  All I know is that it felt like Saturday.  I even got up and did all my Saturday chores.  

Now, today feels like Sunday -- because my Saturday chores were already done and there is NFL on the TV.   I have no idea what tomorrow will feel like.  I do know I slept until 7:00 this morning, and it felt wonderful.  Of course, I stayed up to watch the Texas vs Ohio State game, and as I predicted, Texas lost.  I'd said last week that they were going to have to play a whole lot better than they have been if they wanted to beat Ohio ST, but they didn't.     

OK, moving right along.  I finished my cowl for myself and I think it turned out really nice.  

I got up this morning and washed it, so hopefully it'll be dry by Monday.  Tuesday at the latest.  Then I cast on with my Granny Square yarn and it's striping up really nicely.  

I should be able to get three hats out of this skein, maybe four.  It's about time I got started knitting hats for the Seaman's Church Institute again.  I've been so caught up in knitting the ones out of sock yarn, I haven't done any for charity in several weeks.  

By the way, just for fun, I asked X's AI thing Grok to draw me, and this is what it thinks I look like. 

Apparently, Grok thinks I love Christmas and knitting.  It's not wrong.  By the way, the T-shirt comes from my profile picture.  I'd intended to order one years ago, but never got around to it. 

In other news, while I was putting the card table away yesterday, I found a mysterious project bag in that particular closet.  Curious, I pulled it out and found my dinosaurnaments!  They're supposed to be Christmas tree ornaments, and they've been marinating a long, long time. 

I bought these some 25 years ago, I think.  I'm not really sure, because it was before I started blogging.  I'd worked on them off and on over the years and finished them in 2016, except for the backstitching and cutting them out.  Maybe this time, I'll finally get them done.   I'll let you know. 

That's about it for today, unless you want to hear about me emptying out my deep freeze so I can get it defrosted and cleaned out really good.  I'm trying to move as much as I can to the small freezer and eat up what I already have instead of buying a bunch of new food.  I found a couple of what I believe to be turkey breasts or chicken breasts, and made a huge bowl of poultry salad.  I also found some of the gumbo Cody made in 2022, and ate some of that this afternoon.  

I've gotten a lot of the food food out, and most of what is left is snake food.  I'll have to find a big cooler to put that in, because Cody and Brennan took my cooler at Thanksgiving, then my grand-cat Finley claimed it as his bed.  I found I still have an inordinate amount of rats for Slider -- much more than he can eat in his lifespan.  He is 20 years old, and only eats 4 times per year, or less if he's being picky.  I don't know why I have so many.  I can only guess that they got buried under other food and I assumed I was out and ordered more, when I really just needed to dig deeper.  

OK, well I guess I'll stop boring you with the contents of my deep freeze and say goodnight for now.  

Good night.
