Tuesday, July 31st

I was out sick on Monday. Today, I made it in, but my head doesn't like being here under the bright Florissant lighting. On the plus side, the day is mostly over. Mostly.

The Youngest and I went to the 200 dollar store and spent (brace yourselves) 40 bucks. We picked up 12 pounds of Gummi Bears - the good ones! They were divided up into one cup baggies. She took her six pounds and went home, hours later and after knitting. I hope she was able to hide them from the roommates. No, we didn't just spend 40 bucks on Gummi Bears. We also brought 40 pounds of briquettes.

No sock class this weekend. Advanced sock class, will be as needed. I'm okay with that. Basic sock class, her daughter is (was?) in the hospital. She wanted a refund. M was telling her, you'll need to come in and we'll talk. I said I'd be willing to work with her schedule, so who knows how it will turn out.

I've completed about four inches since joining the new ball of yarn, on the shawl. It's growing. I'm still having nightmares about not having enough on hand to finish. I've been looking at other people's shawls and reading their amounts used. I should read the pattern and see how much it's called for. (Yeah, like it's really that easy...) I already know I'll need to purchase about two more skeins for the second shawl.

I've been knitting pretty much every night, for the past week. My wrist is killing me. I haven't been doing my powerball. Guess it's time to get back into that routine, otherwise I won't be able to knit much longer.

The $200 store...first thought it could be Target, because you can never leave that store without dropping a bundle, but then I kept reading and saw that you bought Gummi Bears in bulk...so my guess is Costco or Sam's Club. I am very impressed, either way, because you only spent $40...that shows some good will power! Can you start shopping with me? :-)

Sorry had to delete because I forgot a word.

I have been doing the other Powerball and the only thing it is helping is making my wallet lighter. And 300 is good porn for you.

Yeah--there really is no such thing as a One dollar store, is there?

After four days on the road my neck and back are really tweaked...I need a young, hot, masseuse to come work me over... (Okay, okay, the young and hot are optional...)
