Week's End

TGIF! It's been a long, sweaty week here, and I'm happy to see Friday arrive (along with cooler, less humid weather). It's been nice to have Mo home with me this week, though her presence hasn't changed my routine all that much. We did bake some cookies together the other afternoon, but generally she does her own thing while I work.

Thank you for all the commiseration on my work gripes. I still don't understand what purpose my being in the office is supposed to serve, and my time there has been decidedly unproductive. Other than sitting through team meetings (which mostly don't involve me), I've only once had something to do while I'm there, so it really does feel like a waste. We'll see if anyone cares and changes things going forward.

My Rift tee has grown quite a bit since Wednesday -- I'm nearly done with the back!

If you click to embiggen the photo, you'll see that the left shoulder short rows are complete, so now I just have to do the right shoulder to match. The front will have a v-neck (the pattern gives you options for the neckline). I played around with my photo editing app to try to get the color a bit more accurate, but it's still not quite right. Oh well! This project has been an excellent accompaniment to our evenings watching Downton Abbey. We reached the final episode last night, which is bittersweet. We still have the two movies to watch after that, and apparently there's a third movie coming? In any case, it would be nice to finish up this tee by the time we've finished with all the Downton stuff to watch.

I'm also working on finishing up my current blue singles (so I can get on to the next bobbin of blue singles):

We've got a few things on the calendar this weekend, aside from the usual chores and errands. We're going to the baseball game tomorrow with some friends and my brother-in-law/sister-in-law/nephews, and then Sunday morning is our synagogue's annual meeting -- my very last meeting on the board! It's a bit bittersweet rotating off the board; it's going to be a bit sad not to be as involved, but I'm also looking forward to having fewer meetings. The bylaws mandate that after two consecutive terms, any board member has to rotate off for a year before they're eligible for another term; we'll see if they come calling again this time next year.

I hope you have an easy end to your week and a relaxing weekend!
