Weekend Misc
Mar. 11th, 2024 09:22 amSaturday I made chocolate chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Yum.
I managed to wash 2.5 fleeces last week, a Border Leicester light to dark grey, a brown alpaca fleece and a bag of felting scraps for F to use as stuffing material for crafts. Lots of hauling water outside, but I did manage to wash the whole 4lb Border Leicester in one bin in one go, which was very exciting. I wanted to get another one done, but first shearing day is Friday and I don't want to stress my body out hauling water (I usually haul 1-2 five gallon pots of hot tap water and 1 pot of 2.5 gal of boiled water per scour load plus 1-2 boil rinses. plus 1-2 five gallon pots of hot tap for warmup rinse, two hot rinses after scour, this doesn't make sense when I type it out but I know what I mean).
Yesterday I went over to A's place for family dinner. As I picked up my bag holding my knitting project out of the vehicle, I grabbed a knitting needle through the bag and broke it. It was wood and 2.25mm. I'm mostly surprised it didn't break sooner, one of them had a bend in it forever. A was so kind and dug through her knitting supplies if she had something that would work and I borrowed four DPNs in close enough size that I could knit before dinner and bring it home since I'm only knitting the back of the sweater and I'm knitting back and forth. I need to order a new circular in that size.
Weather whiplash. It was 50F two days ago, it is now 40 mph winds and snowed last night, under 20F. Back up to 60F by Wednesday.
I chugged through most of a CV on saturday, it can't hurt to apply to the job. Spent a bunch of Thurs night, Fri night and Sun midday working through the sidejob plans. I think I'm catching up, but I've still got at least 8 to work on and five waiting on information from the requestors.
My sleep schedule is terrible right now. Mara woke up around 5am both of the last two nights wanting to get up and switch sides and so for the rest of the nights I did the doze, dream, jerk awake every 20 mins or so and got up late instead. Fuck daylight savings, I hate moving the time around. Just pick one, I don't care which. I usually work out right after getting up, I managed to do yoga for 30 mins yesterday, but didn't work out this morning. I literally just sit on my mat and contemplate how tired I am. I'm planning to do that this afternoon instead when I need to get up and move around.
I've been playing a lot of Zeldy Tears of the Kingdom, which I bought last summer and gave up because I was playing so erratically I couldn't remember what I was working on. Now that I'm through a bunch of it, I got a lot of gaming done in July. But I'm having fun, it's good to play some video games while the family game nights are on hiatus due to my night classes. Since Steam likes to update their servers on Tuesdays so we can't connect to each others' games, I have a tuesday night class and now Z is doing something on tuesdays, we're switching to Weds.
