Winding Things Up

It's been a three day weekend for us here at the homestead.

Started with taking in Trekkie for the old once over on Friday. (if you want to read the story of my biking, it's here.) One of the local purveyors of fine bikery is having an off-season deal on tune-ups of which we are taking advantage.

We have had very warm temps this weekend, but breezy. Nice and sunny, but not so fun for really getting out in it. An attempt was made at motorcycling, but really it was too breezy. It was fun for as long as it lasted. The sun has been nice, and the warmth has helped me look at the rest of January and buck up a bit. I feel like maybe I will make it.

And I got back on the recumbent stationary bike this morning for a mild exercise session. Yeeessssss! Now that felt really good after my recuperative time.

I worked some on the quilt fabric, and changed to a new color on the Moderne Log Cabin Blanket. Now this MLCB, it's all garter stitch, right? I mean, there is picking up stitches, and changing color, that sort of change up, but other than that, all garter. Miles of it. Hard to mess that up, one would think. Well, last night I had to frog 3 rows. When I looked down...stockinette. How does that happen, I ask you. My only thoughts on a possible scenario has something to do with watching Ocean's Eleven. There is much to watch there...verra verra ooh lala! Avec Mssrs. George et Brad et Matt aussi! C'est dommage pour le tricotage. I'm just saying...

Anyway. What else?

There was a meet-up with a childhood friend of Wonderful Guy's which was much fun. These two go back to grade school. His wife is a very talented person with textiles, quilting, dyeing, and much creativity of which I am very jealous. Two Berninas. Two. And a whole finished room in their basement, with attached washroom for the dyeing part. Her husband must love her very much!

There was also much discussion about the employment situation, possibilities, and different ways to approach the whole thing. I think it comes down again to trying to look for the opportunities, and trying to believe those will come. I don't have to have it all figured out this weekend, or this week, or maybe even this month.

Gosh. That is very hard to really believe, when one has practiced their entire life mostly trying to getting stuff figured out NOW! Trying hard to come up with the solution before the solution is there is a bit defeating, and doesn't allow the good stuff.

OK. So now I will practice breathing...
