Fa la la la Friday

Sweater Grrrl

What a day, what a day, what a day. I have been waiting for this day all week long. The only thing that could possibly be better than a Friday, is Friday at 5PM. When I have escaped my workplace to be in my little house.

Work is completely insane. We had someone quit this week, then come back because management begged them to return. Out of the 10-11 people in my department, we have lost 5 in the last 6 months. None of them have been replaced, although we do have a few temps to pick up the slack. Things are...well, hectic. Uncertain. Hellaciously stressful. It’s just a little too ominously quiet in here.

But I did manage to drop the Sn’B flyers off at the yarn store last night. I thought about taking them around to other places, but that’s the only really cool place that I have been to that sells yarn. I’ll have to think about it. It’s probably better if we start small.

Worked on the site a little bit last night, then knit furiously on my scarf. It’s only about ¼ of the way done, and I have 15 days left …ok, it’s theoretically possible to make this in 15 days and the mat bag too. I just have to figure out the lace pattern! Not to mention do ALL of my Christmas shopping. Oops.

So I am sitting here, taking a break from running around (not unlike the proverbial chicken freshly bereft of its proverbial head) and drinking my Candy Cane Lane Tea. The weather outside is beautiful- sun shining, birds birding, etc. My boss is out of the office. You know, life is pretty good.

That being said, I skipped WW last night. The road to hell is paved with Thai food and Christmas cookies. And that’s all I have to say about that.

So it looks like the weekend is going to be spent:
1. Making upgrades to the website.
2. Knitting with ceaseless vim.
3. Putting up the Christmas lights and decorations (no, this still has not happened)
4. Going to see “Seussical” a musical based on Dr. Seuss books.
5. Doing all my Christmas shopping.
6. Doing a truly frightening amount of laundry.
7. Let’s see, what can I put for 7? Solving the energy crisis?
8. Trying not to accidentally inhale any Christmas cookies.

OK. Wish me luck!
