A good thing, and a bad thing
A good thing: Being able to call it quits when you want to.
I've been keeping to my goal of one ornament finished a day - until today. My body aches, my head aches, I'm exhausted, I cannot, cannot, look at another fiddly piece of felt. I'm done, I give, no more. I'm taking a break. If those two reindeer round ornaments go up a few days after the rest of the tree, so be it.
Everything else is done. Tomorrow I'll start on the calico stars I want, but I think I may cheat. I may just...use the sewing machine.
A bad thing: Starbucks coffee
Being a day between checks and out of beans, and not willing to pull from savings for a pound of coffee, I used the gift card to pick up a pound of Sumata from Starbucks. Extra bold, thick and rich, so it said. My ass. I used my regular amount, 1/3 of a cup beans to the #8 line on the pot, and ground it fine. I ended up with flavored cream by the time I was done. I swear I brew my tea stronger than that.
And to top it off I had to be up at 6:45 yesterday to take the hubbo to the dentist, which meant I was up at 8:30 this morning. Couple being off my usual schedule, as much as I might prefer this one for the holidays, with a serious lack of caffeine, and my behind is not keeping up. Tomorrow I mix the last of the good stuff with the weak, in the hopes of making something drinkable, the hubbo will pick up more of the good stuff on his way to work.
And I'm off to knit mittens for the Soaring Eagles project. Later, wolflings.
