Time For A New Job?
Sometimes I really hate being a teacher. I guess I can't really go into it in this medium, but suffice it to say, college kids are a difficult bunch.
To get my mind off of my Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day, I have been napping, eating chocolate, and working on J's Mossdog Sweater. I really like Knitpick's merino: just the right amounts of softness and sturdiness. I might make the black cardigan I have been planning for millenia out of it, though I wanted something that would knit up a bit quicker... I have also been reading these depressing German fairytales, which normally would be pretty awesome, but unfortunately they are just making me even moodier. Why can't J and I own a little bookstore somewhere with temperate weather?
In craftworld, I have made a couple more lariat necklaces and some matching earrings. They are cute, but I feel kind of unproductive. I did make some pillows for the couch not that long ago out of this purple Asian-floral material. They came out pretty well and I had a 40% off coupon for the fabric. Score. The apartment almost looked clean until this afternoon when I was frantically digging through old syllabi and coursepackets trying to figure out what should go on my booklist. Blech. Everything is once again as messy as my brain.
Chocolate? Bailey's? Ice cream? Maybe I need all three tonight.
