Friday.... At Last

Sigh... it's been a long week.... a hard week.... a cold week.... I'm really glad it is Friday.

Daughter #1 has been doing Drama at school this semester as one of her electives. She has enjoyed it but was worried that she would have to take a large part in the play... she really enjoys working on plays but in the background. she is not a front and centre kind of gal. She did manage to get out of being in a big part and snagged a small part in the play while helping to work on the background, lighting, and sound system. But now.... tonight is the big night. The name of the play is called Pom Pom Zombies and is a story about cheerleader zombies... (yes I know that's odd) Evidently the jist of the story is that the head cheerleader is at a beach party and eats some food that has been infected with nuclear waste and dies and turns into a zombie. (I know the spindle princess would love this!) Anyway Daughter#1 is playing a nerd which she thinks is awesome. It's a musical.... and from what I've heard not one of the kids can sing for beans.... but then they are all zombies so maybe that doesn't matter. However, I am looking forward to seeing the play... it should be fun.

So I didn't go to knit night again last evening... instead I stayed home and spun... as a result I have almost caught up with where I thought I would be. (But still not where I should be.)  I should, as of today, be finished section 1 and 2 in level 5 and section 1 and 2 in level 3. However, I have finished section 1 and 2 in level 5 except for the hemp and wool sample and I haven't even touched the section 2 in level 3. That means I have 8 samples to do today to catch up. I doubt if I can get that many done but then I should never say never. Even if I could get that done by Sunday I would be satisfied. So I will do what I can and see how far I get. I also have a warp to get on the loom... hmmm this should be another busy busy day...

Not as cold this morning at -23 degrees. It is supposed to warm up a little tomorrow and then it is supposed to warm up a whole lot on Sunday... we'll see. Sunday I have to drive Teapot to the airport so I am hoping for clear highways. Tomorrow I have to go to the NPSW meeting in FSJ. I hope the roads are clear for that too. But it's the 20th and there are only 11 days left of the hardest month of the year... and last night when I took din din into Mom and Dad at 6 p.m. there was still a fair amount of daylight in the sky.... I liked that.... it reminded me that this deep freeze that we are in will eventually lose it's grip and spring will come.

For now I had better get down to it and start my day with a quick shower.... a little breakfast.... and some spinning... Hemp... here I come.
