This is the second morning in a row when I've woken up thinking it was the middle of the night only to have the alarm come on while I'm trying to get back to sleep! It is so completely dark, not even a hint of a sunrise. It's just so annoying!! And since it was POURING rain and I've got a dinner to attend this evening, I figured I'd give myself a break and drive in. But the rain stopped and it was just beautiful, so now I'm crabby because I could have ridden in. I guess, when you come right down to it, I'm just in a very bad mood. And for no good reason, either.
After listening to the wonderfully narrated "The Help", my current listen is Jane Smiley's "Private Life". I love Jane Smiley's books, however the woman reading this one is just awful. Thankfully the story is engaging because if it weren't I wouldn't be able to stand to listen to that voice.
I didn't win any of the quarters last night and have ended up with terrible numbers for next week too. But, I did win my fantasy match up and that's almost as good! And during the game I finished up the mitt portion of the convertible mittens. My next move is to thread my metal circular needle through the stitches on the back of the hand. This is going to be a challenge because the yarn is cotton. I should have chosen a different yarn, in retrospect, because the cotton has no give. I can only try.
Well, I'd better see what I can do about this bad attitude. It's going to be a looo-oooong day.
