Good Morning!
Despite Fletch having CNN on last night, I have not watched any of the returns. Head in the sand and all that (don't judge - there is comfort in that). When I went to bed (early - like 10 p.m.) Fletch said that things were looking good. When he came up to bed around 1 a.m. he said things do not look good. Count me as being a bit dumfounded this a.m. and I sure as hell hope I am wrong. Enough.
It's Wednesday, so time to link up with Kat and her Merry Band of Unravelers. I don't have a whole lot to show or talk about BUT...my Tapped Maple Socks are finished. Woo-Hoo.
I finished the second one on Sunday and they are now tucked away in Fletcher's sock drawer. I have not picked up a needle since then (knitting OR stitching!). Life has been busy. Or I have been scattered. Or something.I have things to work on - my Semplice Shawl and my Hitch on the Move are just two of them. I had also chosen yarn and put it in a project bag with the needles to make a Baby Vertebrae, but that has not been started. And, for once, I don't feel like making socks! What is up with me??? This could all change in an hour or two, time will tell.
As for reading, Fletch and I are continuing to listen to "The Mind of the Raven" by Bernd Heinrich. It's good, though at times it sounds like a lecture rather than a book. I did finish "You are Here" by David Nicholls and enjoyed it very much. It's a charming and funny love story. Now I have started Brooklyn and am enjoying it a lot. I'm roughly a third of the way through it and already know I will be requesting "Long Island" which is the sequel. As I'm reading, I keep remembering reading "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" and how much I loved that book.
Well, time for me to get moving. I have an appointment at 9 with the audiologist (just a follow up where I will most likely be scolded for not wearing my hearing aids on a regular basis). I need to dry my hair and put something in my stomach.
Take it easy today and be gentle with yourself and others. We will get through this.
