List Day

- The weather turned a bit cooler three weeks ago and trees have decided it was time to start turning
- Today it was downright chilly outside
- It was weapons training on Tuesday night, my right arm and left index finger are bruised and sore still

- Every time I rub my nose, my finger lets me know it doesn't like that motion

- The fact you used to do my job doesn't give you the right to pitch a fit about me moving some of your agents around! Suck it up and deal with it

Drive By
All week I've been coming up with good blog fodder, but haven't actually gotten around to posting. Heck, I haven't even written any of it down. By the time I get home, it's skipped my mind because I have more exciting things to do. You know: knit; watch the boyz; watch Prometheus; and karate. I'm back to karate after taking most of the summer off. I do remember most of the moves, but boy am I sore.
I've got another foot, foot and a half to go on my hood scarf. But it's sitting. My hands are stiff from working with those size threes. In order to combat the soreness, I've started a sweater for me on size nine.

- It's been chilly enough I've been wearing my fingerless mitts while working
- Its so grey out there it looks like rain, the problem? That's smoke not clouds
- I think I've mentioned that twice today
- Upset the Convert, she went home in tears
- Which also meant I had to have a conversation with the Gnome
- Think I'm kidding about the air quality?
- what part of delete all instances of the report, exit the program, go back in and re-run the reports, while holding down these two keys until you see the do-you-want-to-open-this-report translates into close the browser when the report comes up?
- Tomorrow is the Equinox
- Hopefully tonight I won't have to rip back cables... twice

Here is the back view.
Finished a washcloth.
The left side is the new scarf, the right the first one.

List Day

- We're having Stroganoff for dinner
PMS Monday
Wow, it's Monday and I've got a case of I-want-to-beat-them-to-death PMS. I'm glad it hit this morning, because Grilltech doesn't deserve me being so bitchy. Today's target appears to be the Lackey. Since I don't have any direct interaction with him, it might save his life.
I've decided on the hood scarf to re-knit it. Yes, I know I was two-thirds of the way done. The second skein was very bright compared to the first one and I couldn't live with the differences. So I'm knitting two rows, then switching colors. There is some lovely pooling going on. I'll get a picture posted soon(tm).
We dog sat Havoc while Perky and Kommadant went to pick up his Mother in Nevada. I think Perky wanted to go gamble all weekend, but didn't want me to know. GoJira has been hiding in our bathroom cupboard, much to Uggy's dismay. This morning Jira stuck her head out while Uggy was in visiting me. There was much hissing on Uggy's part before she flounced out.

Warning, lots of pictures. Which is okay, because I'll make up for by not having a lot of text to read. =^.^=
Down the street:
What have I been working on?
Pitted, peeled and sliced two huge boxes of peaches. I'll be getting a peach mead soon(tm).
I finished a baby sweater. The classic baby surprise jacket.
Grilltech and I trimmed the hedge. It took us both two days to finish. What you can't see is the pile goes on for another fifteen feet.
I'm back to working on my hooded scarf. I'm on the down hill side of knitting it.
It hasn't all been work, I did take some time to go to a going-out-of-business sale. Picked up more sock yarn for Grilltech.
I'm not quite sure what I'll build with these. Socks? Mitts? A cowl?
Enough Cascade 220 for sweaters.
Fran yelling you spent HOW much?!

It appears the smoke is back and thicker than normal.
Finished another bathmat. Grilltech has been hinting he wants a rug to put in front of the back door.
Started the giftmas presents. Only four (?) more sets to go.
I'm dog sitting for an hour or two. Much like the cats, he won't look at me when I have a camera in my hands.

Winds of Change
What a difference a day makes. After weeks of smoke, the winds have came in and cleared the sky.
Monday, Monday
It was a good - busy, but good - weekend. On Saturday, Perky and I was out running errands. Every time we passed a yard sale sign, she would pout and that I never-ever-ever take her to yard sales. so a block from the house I pull over at one. They didn't have anything that looked terribly interesting, but I did notice a sign that said furniture for sale in the house. I bought us a new-to-us couch and matching chair. It was an estate sale, so they were happy to part with them. Plus both are in excellent shape.
Saturday night, Grilltech took me out to watch the Perseid shower. Perky and Kommadant came with us and seemed to enjoy themselves. While we was setting up, a long one streaked across the sky. I believe the total count for the night was 20+.
Grilltech spent all day Sunday running a Malifaux tournament. Since he was running it, he didn't play and yet he still managed to have a good time. He came home with a bag of holding, which I promptly stole. I showed him my bag which is looking pretty ratty from wear, so he was okay with me taking it. And I promised to buy him a replacement on on Friday.
