How I did it: I found a pattern I liked that would work with sock yarn and voila! There it is! Actually, I have a book that has patterns for one skein of sock yarn and I may look at that for subsequent projects, but this time I wanted something that I could have near me. Course, then I broke my wrist and couldn't finish this forever! It's been sitting in the basket and I finally had some time to be busy with it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I thought the book was great, even though it took me forever to get around to reading it. It ended up being my car book, so it took even longer to read, since that book only gets read during lunch breaks on the days that I actually get to work (or if we take a longer drive somewhere). Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had a bunch of books set back to send along on bookcrossings. One thing I've noticed is that I keep getting bookcrossing books on paperback swap. I don't send them out there, because they belong on bookcrossing, at least to me. But since bookcrossing seems to be a minor priority with me these days, maybe that's okay. Read how I did it…
1. The day off from work. A fine edged sword. ;)
2. Conversations. My husband asked me why they call it dusting when you’re taking the dust off. Wouldn’t it be the other way around?
3. Netflix. Always a good choice when there’s nothing on I want to watch.
1. Refusing to stress over anything at work. It was good for me.
2. Coffee.
3. Bed at a reasonable time.
Some days doing mundane things is nice. It doesn’t add a lot to the day, but it keeps the drama from impeding progress. Our 30th wedding anniversary is coming up in August and I’m just concentrating on planning a nice time and not worrying about if I’m going to be the only one in my office next tax season or if they’re going to close my little office down or if they are ever going to get around to bonuses (corporate offices get them the first of May) or any of a hundred other things that I’m given to worry about. No worries for the whole day. Bliss.
1. Getting the roses watered.
2. Harlan had a nice father’s day.
3. Not having to go anywhere on errands or chores. I like it like that.
