Marathon (wo) Man
My six-day vacation/long weekend comes to an end today at 6:30.
I spent the better part of the time cleaning the house (or at least digging out some of the worst piles) and knitting.
I finished all my fair entries and will deliver them at 8. Yay, fair! Yay, finished! Yay, 14 entries!
What I learned in my six days:
1) There are more dogs in my neighborhood than I could possibly have imagined! And they bark. All day! Okay, one barks. Then the rest chime in. All day!
2) My cats have a sweet life! *They get up. They eat. They poop. They go back to sleep.* Repeat from * to *. All day!
3) There are many moron drivers in my neighborhood. Example: Wednesday morning, I heard the usual falling-off-muffler noise with an unusual "whomp, whomp, whomp" that made me get up to look out the window. Here's the moron part: two flat tires. Both on the passenger side. Guess he didn't see them when he got in the car? Other morons drive past our house, too. All day.
4) I don't know why this comes as a surprise. How many years did I spend every summer afternoon at the pool with swim team? Every child that gets near a pool needs to shriek. All day.
There is no knitting content today. I will probably not knit. I will finish a poncho that I started a couple days ago on the Bond. Then, I will post a picture. Maybe.
