Readjusting

I do enjoy a long weekend, but it also makes it hard to keep track of what day it is, particularly when you throw travel into the mix. We had a really nice weekend with the extended family, even if it was really cold and I am now feeling like a total slug because I haven't exercised for three days. We are all off today for MLK Jr. day, and I'm hoping to get more or less back to my usual routine before we're all back to work and school tomorrow.

As predicted, I did minimal knitting while we were away. Most of the knitting was done on the airplane, in fact. It's been a while since I knit a patterned sock, in large part because the need to look at the sock slows me down. I know it'll be worth it in the end, but it does annoy me just a bit because I'm used to speeding through. When I put the sock away as we were landing yesterday, I'd gotten through the heel flap and turn.

We got home a little after 6 last night, so after dinner (we picked up from the CAVA that just opened up near us), unpacking, throwing some laundry in, and taking a shower, the Mister and I sat down to watch last week's episode of The Pitt and I pulled out another triple-stranded fingering weight scrap hat to work on:

Today I'm going to try to go for a run (though it's likely to be a slow one, as it's snowing lightly), finish up the laundry, and make some edits to a pattern that I just got back from my tech editor. Ruthie will be dropped off later this morning and will need a bath. The Mister is going grocery shopping and Molly has homework to finish up. And later I'm going to wind some yarn and get started on my sweater. It'll likely be a quiet, fairly boring day, but that's what I need right now!
