It's Monday again. Back to work, and I didn't get anything done that I'd said I was going to get done over the weekend. I didn't do my taxes. I didn't fit my new bite guard. I didn't finish my letter to my Australian pen pal. I didn't even get my chicken salad made...although I did that when I got home this evening, so I guess it counts.
The good news is, my side table arrived today.
I was pleasantly surprised, because I didn't think the mail would run today -- it being President's Day and all. But apparently, it did.
The side table was a lot easier to put together than the chair was, and in just a few moments, I had it done and it's ready to go out into the back yard.
Another thing I'd ordered also arrived. I got this advent calendar to put back for Cody and Brennan.
It looked like something fun for them to do together. Actually, it looks like something I'd want to do, so they might not get it. But they probably will. I'll just get me another chocolate advent calendar.
In other news, I know I said the house plan I posted yesterday was the one, but today, I found this one.
It's got a garden room and a garage! I spent 20 years living in a trailer house, slopping through the rain and mud to get to my car. Dadgum it, I want a garage! Or at least a car port. On the other hand, it shouldn't be too difficult to add a car port to the other plan. Not that it matters anyway. It's all just a pipe dream right now.
In knitting news, I got my next project cast on, but right now there isn't enough done to even show you a picture. So, I'll just show you the yarn.
It's some I bought in Oxford, from Holly Dyeworks, and the colorway is Folk School Engagement. It's supposed to be fingering weight, but it's on the smaller side of fingering. It's almost a heavy laceweight. Still, I love the color, and it's knitting up pretty.
Pretty soon, the hat will be long enough to show you, but not today. I'm tired, and I'm going to bed.
Goodnight.
