and life continues. I have a lot going on at work. Way too much. There is so much that needs caught up that I am not sure if it will happen. I haven't done a lot of demographics in about 5 weeks and just because we are closed, doesn't mean people don't move, give birth, get married, etc.
Ethan will be leaving for school this weekend. It was a nightmare, as he needed to have several THOUSAND dollars to go back because his Fall semester bill wasn't paid. It would have been so much easier if we (Ethan and I) knew about it before Monday, but Steve didn't say anything until Monday. Oh, well, we have a small fix that will buy us some time.
So on to goals for the year. None are really accomplished yet, but I have plans. I was going to do a down and dirty cleaning in the living room last weekend, but got sucked into a project for Steve. He has a 15 passenger van and wanted to build a bench to go between the front two seats. He built it, but wanted a cushioned cover over it. I was in charge of that part- and it HAD to be completed last weekend. I spent most of Saturday designing one out of old blue jeans. It came out pretty good, but it wasn't my plan for the day.
What I have accomplished is some knitting. I got one slipper done, one to go. It will be glorious when it is felted. I am working on the second one now. I am also working on the Age of Brass and Steam shawl in Lion Brand Amazing. It is a great set of colors- bright blues, oranges, fuschias. It's so much fun to knit that I don't mind the miles of stockinette stitch.
I am still reading The Book Thief and it is very good. I almost have a hard time putting it down, it's so good. I highly recommend it.
Classes start on Monday and I am happy/scared/ excited all at the same time. As I said, Ethan goes back to school over the weekend. Baylor heads out for Tucson next week. It will be me and the dogs again. I'll miss my boys, but they are on the downhill slide of finishing school. I hope it all goes well.
