So yesterday was another day of missed spinning time... I will have to stay home tonight from Knit Night in order to have a day of catch up. Yesterday afternoon I headed in to Pops house to check on him and ended up staying for supper and staying till half past nine last night because Mom wanted to go to her Crib Club and didn't feel like leaving Dad alone.... thus no spinning. I was so tired when I got home that I went to bed pretty much right away. I'm not really sure why I was so tired since it was only 10 p.m. but I just felt like I couldn't keep going and when I crawled into bed it was the most delicious feeling you could ever possibly imagine. I do have to say that that memory foam mattress which we bought two years ago was the best money spent... ever. This morning I had a really hard time convincing my bed to let go of me.
Anyway, today I am getting down to my homework again... I have to finish the section in the level 5 books that I didn't get finished last weekend. So I have two singles of soy silk to ply first then I have a soy silk/wool blend. Then two hemp samples. That's way more than I would like to be doing, in one day. I will try my darndest to get them all done today though.... that is if I don't run into problems. I still have to go in and check on Dad and make sure that if there any things that he needs that he has them. But maybe I won't have to go for so long.
Warmer temperatures are on the horizon so the forecast says.... that is good because the dear one is headed off for a week of training for the JCRs. I will miss Teapot while he is gone. I will miss him because with these temperatures, it is a worry when he is away that there will be frozen pipes or something equally disastrous, (and remember I'm taking care of two houses at the moment) and I have to haul all our water. It really is a headache. I will miss him for other reasons too not just the fact that he does a lot of the work around here but I will miss him because I like his company at night after all the chores are done and we are sitting having our after dinner tea. It is the cozy time of the day, and it is a pleasure to enjoy his company. Still the Daughters and I will manage if all goes well.
Again this morning I am looking out on the arctic type temperatures. It is cold, cold, cold! -32 again this morning and the sun is just rising over the horizon. I do hope it warms up some today. Yesterday it reached a balmy -18 during the warmest part of the day. I hope it does so again....
One last thing.... Happy Birthday to my friend in FSJ... RG.... hope you are having an awesome day!
So now soy silk and other spinning.....
