Alive .. mostly well.

EDIT: I'm annoyed with blogger. Somehow, it lost my template, and I didn't have it backed up at all. So I'm gonna be fussing with it for a while. Bear with me.

I know, I know .. I've been a bad blogger. But I really do have a good excuse .. I've been sick!! Like, allergies from hell, can hardly breath, coughing up my lungs sick. I didn't sleep well for two days .. got 5 hours sleep in 48 hours, had to stay out of work a day because grocery shopping wore me out sick. So sick that Jason threatened to come home from work one day and put me into bed, so sick that I actually broke down and bought NyQuil, which I hate taking, because I was bound and determined I was going to get some sleep.

I'm better now though, comparatively, and I actually have a few things to report.

First of all, I finished skinny eyelash scarf #2, the teal one. I'll post pictures once my room isn't so much of a disaster area. See, I bought new bookcases for the house, and for the moment, everything that was on our little 2' bookcases we had scattered everywhere is currently on varions flat surfaces, waiting to be replaced onto the -new- bookcases. That includes the hellishness that is my office. So I have no rom to try to take a picture, nor can I, at the moment, find my camera. But I finished it. I have one more ball of eyelash yarn left in my stash, which is likely to end up a skinny scarf as well. They're quick and easy, and my nieces will adore them for playing dressup, and that's all that counts, right?

I made it through the Summer of Stash in one piece!! I didn't buy any yarn that wasn't project bound, and even that was all of 6 balls of cotton (for dishcloths) and a couple skeins of sock yarn for swaps. And I did manage to use up a good bit of the stash, though not near as much as I'd wanted to. But school and work interfered in my knitting time, and I suppose that's a good reason not to get all done that I wanted to.

Speaking of school, I'm taking 14 hours; 4 classes. Art Appreciation and History, Spanish 101, Western Civilization 101 and Solar Astronomy. So far, the Spanish class is the one I'm not liking as much, mainly because it's going -so- slowly. Thus far, everything we do is review for me. I'm guessing once we get doing harder stuff, it'll go a bit better. Solar Astronomy is fun, though the others in the class are idiots. I'm very glad they're all online classes, otherwise, I'd have to beat these people with a book.

I've got to get back to cleaning. We bought 4 new bookcases for the house, and I've got to get to putting the books and such on them and off the floor, where everything's been for several days, since I've been too sick to manage it. And since I just almost shattered the glass on a framed drawing honey brought home from Europe, I need to get shit cleaned up before I go absolutely insane.
