Yesterday was Veteran's Day and we got the day off. If was of course looking forward to rolling over after Ben's departure and sleeping for another couple of hours. However, I had remembered to turn my alarm off but I hadn't remembered to turn the volume off on my phone so, when the Do Not Disturb feature ends at 7 am email alerts, etc. start up again. So I woke up just after 7 and that was it. I lolled around in bed for another hour, but then gave it up and got up to start my day.
I had a little breakfast and gave Tink a nice walk and then dug in. I got the laundry going, made a trip to Trader Joe's, and then the house cleaned, leaving me the rest of the day (until 4 o'clock) to work on the blanket. I was nearly done with magenta strip three (out of four) but I had to wind another couple of balls of the yarn because I didn't have quite enough to finish it, then I have to have another ball for the last stripe and some for tassels. After I got my hair done and the dinner going I settled in, finished up the magenta and started in with the fourth (of six) grey stripe. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Twenty-two more inches.
Yes it was a drag to get up this morning. Mid-week holidays suck. So many people are taking today and tomorrow off as well. Except the students. And it's quiet around here. And I wish I could take a nap. Well, it's my half day here because of my late meeting, so I'll get a nap this afternoon.
