A couple never made it past the HR screening phone interview, but I made it to the third elimination round for one position. I am not too disappointed. It was for third shift. Yes, I am applying for just about anything that comes close to fitting the bill.
Is it close? Does it come close to paying what I made? Is the position halfway close to what I have done? Is it permanent and regular hours? 75% gets an application...
Knocking down the to-do list...
The house is cleaned like I haven't cleaned it since we started using cleaning people. I have been baking bread and cooking most meals at home. The home inventory is juuuusssst about wrapped up. I have gone through and sorted out for the upcoming community garage sale. My baskets have been dusted (don't laugh, that is no small matter!). My basement has been cleaned.
Spinning...
The Estes Park Wool Market released the hand spun skein contest rules, and one of the surrounding counties has already put out their county fair rules, so I am spinning to that end, keeping in mind that I am also practicing for Sheep To Shawl.
Merino/Alpaca, 50:50. The dark is the merino and the white is alpaca. I spun the singles randomly on one bobbin. The next bobbin, I tried to sort of stagger the colors opposite. Turned out sort of crazy and pretty cool.
50:50 camel and silk. This is really sleek. Only 145 yards.
Knitting...
I have finished up a couple of requests from Middle Daughter and Precious Niece., a pair of slippers (my family goes through slippers like Sherman went through Georgia!) and a circular scarf (out of my handspun, which was nice as it was a choice on her part).
On the upside of not working, while Spring took a backseat to 22 inches of snow this past week, I could take my mornings easy, and stay inside.

Your merino/alpaca reminds me of Mary the Kitty! Or maybe an Oreo!
What can you do with 140 yards of yummy?
