Ah ... the agony of defeat, I guess this should be titled. It was a losing weekend all around. The Huskies got beat by Stanford in a terribly exciting game that went down to the wire. The soccer team got beat and then, on Sunday, the Seahawks finally lost. It was a very close game as well, on the road. Their 4 and 0 start, the first time in its history, is gone. They played well but couldn't come up with that last minute magic. Oh, and my fantasy team? VERY badly beaten. I have two more guys tonight but there's no way in the world that I'm going to win this matchup. There is nothing for it. I just have to look forward to next week and a better outcome.
Friday I worked from home. I had to make sure I could connect and do everything I need to do from home, since I have a new (well new to me) laptop for home. It was perfect. Everything worked seamlessly so I feel much better. The cold and cough going around here is spreading like wildfire and I need to be prepared since this is such a busy time for me. Speaking of busy, I was working like a crazy person Friday. I couldn't even take a break until 1:30. The weather was lovely and Tinkie and I got some nice walks.
Finally in the late afternoon I was able to stop and get my yarn wound and start the Juneberry Triangle. It is a shame that they sent hand dyed yarn in a variegated colorway because this yarn is lovely and I'd like to have a cardigan made from it, but I don't like garments made with variegated yarn. It just screams "homemade". So a scarf/wrap is the ideal accessory with a soft yarn like this. The Juneberry has quite a few charts but it's moving along nicely. Unfortunately it is one of those with charts for both sides of the thing - like the Frost Flowers shawl I did a few years ago. I do prefer having a plain purl row but I am committed to this project now and it is really a gorgeous pattern. I will soldier on.
Besides knitting and (bad) football this weekend, I visited a new farmer's market on Sunday in the heat! I was wearing a skirt and T-shirt, it was that warm. I got some nice carrots and some fingerling potatoes and got a stew going in the crock pot this morning. I visited the new nail spa that my regular place in Lake City has taken over. The massage chairs are actually comfortable for me! They are awesome! So I had a lovely hour pampering after the market.
Today is the final exam for anatomy and then tomorrow starts histology. I am pretty much ready for that. Pretty much.
