holytoastrI'm the only one at work right now. And there isn't really anything for me to do. Well, that's good I guess. I can work on my knitting. I learned how to decrease the other day, so now I'm closing up the top of the hat. Then I can add the little touches to it and send it off! Yay! :) It's my first time attempting a hat, reading a pattern, knitting in the round, and decreasing. I hope it comes out nice enough that amanda will like it.
I feel better than I did yesterday evening. I was all stressed out because I had to stay late at work. A guy wanted to enter a contest with a friday deadline. He didn't send all the pictures until yesterday afternoon, and then we needed to clean them up, format them, and print them. Printing alone took an hour.
When I got home and ben wouldn't wake up, I eventually poke him in the face. Then he gave me much needed hugs and made me feel better.
I'm sorry I haven't been posting much nola news anymore. It's gotten so political. I deal with facts and numbers and accounts to force myself to focus and not freak out. But when the political finger pointing starts, it no longer calms me.
There are some accounts I sorta do want to post, but I'm afraid if I do, everyone I know will lose faith in all humanity. Like reports of women told they needed to lift their shirts if they wanted to be rescued. When they refused, their rescuers left them there.
There are fires all over the place. But no one will say how they are starting.
And then there is Barbara Bush's "Let them eat cake" comment. *sigh*
Ok, knitting. Knitting is happy and good and helpful.
