How long have I been commuting now? Since I left my big house and moved to the apartment on 105th. So that's since March of 2011 - over three years. And I keep learning new things. Like make sure you pull the cord (or push the button) to get off at your stop. I always assumed that my morning stop at the UW was one of the automatic ones where the bus always stops so I quit pushing the button because the Stop was always lit. Well today he went right past the stop! I suppose because so many people are on vacation or taking Friday off there was nobody else on that bus getting off but me and I had neglected to push the button. So I had a lovely walk back to my building.
I really really really wanted to get cast on for the Melon Pattern Shawl last night. I found my needle, got some waste yarn, found the video of the cast-on method I was using and started casting on the 91 stitches. Except Tinkerbell was so needy. She just wouldn't leave me alone! I had already played ball with her and let her out and in and out and in. She wanted my undivided attention and so I had to put my knitting aside or there would have been no peace at all. I haven't gotten my beads yet anyway so I guess it's okay. But what am I going to knit on while the game is on tonight? Iwi I guess. I should get a pair of socks going. That would be good for commuting and football too.
I was in the mood for a football movie, so I went old school and watched North Dallas Forty. Good movie. Very dated but good. And tonight it's Seahawks. Only two more pre-season games to go.
Big weekend - working on packing and moving. Not fun but it must be done.
