I'd Rather Be.... Not Spinning!!!

I am sitting here so po'd with spinning at this moment that I have decided that I need a real break from it... By real I mean more than a few minutes. I have been spinning all day today and all day yesterday trying to get an illusive 12 t.p.i. skein of yarn and I am getting nowhere fast. I break it midway through plying it...this is a big no no! I get 10 t.p.i. Or 9 t.p.i. But not 12 t.p.i. and I am certainly NOT having fun! I have to say that I really hate these high t.p.i. yarns. I keep wondering who in their right mind would want a yarn that has such high twist. I will give it one more try tonight. If I get it, great! If not, then I will set it aside for now and stick with level 5 homework. I have been trying to get this yarn with silk so I will try with cotton and see if that is any better. Actually I was just thinking that I enjoyed sweeping dirt on the floor from the dog's paws better than spinning right now. You know it's bad when! *I'm using this little star to signify a new paragraph since yesterday's try at making paragraphs with Daughter #2's iPad was an abysmal failure. *Easter is going quietly this year with dinner at Mom and Pop's house tomorrow. Teapot has been finishing some panelling in the bathroom upstairs and after try #4 of spinning a 12 t.p.i. I decided a nice walk in the spring air was a necessity. Out I went into the beautiful sunshine with my ever faithful companion Narmie... and the kitten who went for a walk too. She is now in heat... Another f-ing cat with blinking pregnancy issues! Once again we are caught in the cycle of kittens. But I'm determined to get them aborted if I have to. It's off to the veterinarian on the 16th. A great birthday gift to me. Payday and a day waiting for the kitten to get her ovaries removed... But at least I can go shopping while I wait. Hmmm... maybe a cat at the vet's won't be so bad after all. *I have been listening to CBC radio and find that the budget cuts to CBC are horrible. Still, sometimes I wonder if CBc has diversified too much. Maybe we could do without CBC 2 and just have CBC 1 radio and the T.V. Station. Would that not solve some of the problem? Meanwhile Harper is cutting funding to libraries across the country and the first thing cut is free Internet access to those who need it...and who needs it most? Well... I would say that it is the poor.... those who cannot access the Internet from home. Then there is the roll back to 67 for the Old Age Pension. I'm now not going to get a cent until I'm 67. Sucks to be me! And if I was truly relying on it I sure would be really ticked. But then I might not have to worry about it if I pop off early! Anyway CBC radio was interesting for the most part though I thought the stupid program about obsessive behavior was odd especially when they interviewed the guy who thought that all food fell into one of two categories. one category was dirty food and the other was.. You got it...clean food. An example of clean food was a squished hamburger and sushi. Peanut butter came into the category of dirty food! That was enough for me.... I turned of the radio but not before hearing the interview about the fellow who had a pencil sharpening business. he obsessed about beautifully sharpened pencils... Like they are art... Ok that was weird too. So now I'm listening to world music on my iPhone. Lovely. *I hope your Easter is full of flowers, chocolate,and hugs... 'cause what's life without a few hugs?
