And just like that, it's Monday again. It was a mostly calm weekend, but Monday hits hard even so. I ended up skipping that party on Friday night because I was exhausted, and it ended up being a good decision because it was apparently packed and that would've made me anxious. Instead, I got into my pajamas, read for a few minutes, and went to bed early. Saturday I did a Costco run, went for a walk, and did some reading while trying to get Ruthie to nap (the other members of my family kept unhelpfully waking her up). Molly went to her dance and the Mister and I had a nice dinner out -- and then he went to pick her up and I again went to bed early. And Sunday morning Ruthie woke me up just a little earlier than usual (around 5:50), but she slept through the night without having to go out, and it was nice to have a leisurely start to the day.
We had some snow move through yesterday, though nothing like what the East Coast is getting. We had a dusting on the grass in the morning and some light snow on and off over the day, but most of it melted, aided by the sun coming out in the afternoon. After Ruthie got a much-needed bath, she settled down next to me for a bit and I worked on getting through the rest of the cowl:
My hot pink hat was finished up as well, though I didn't get a photo of it, and now I have a bunch of ends to weave in. My reading glasses will be getting a workout!
I'm expecting a big work project to come in this week, and we've got a session at Molly's school on Tuesday evening to talk about the second half of high school and the start of the college search process (gulp), so it's going to be a busy week. Here's hoping it goes quickly for all of us!
I'm a big fan of going to bed early and it sounds like that was something you needed! Here's hoping your work project doesn't keep you from knitting or weaving in ends. Don't be frightened by the college search process. Yes, it can be a bit daunting, but I firmly believe there are several places that each student can be happy, learn, and thrive. The money part, now that's scary!
ReplyDeleteI did not get to bed early this weekend, but I could have used some early to bed time! Steve has brought another bug home from work, I dodged the prior one but it seems like my luck has run out... sigh. The colors in this cowl are so cheery! The colors remind me of Easter eggs! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteNice to read that your weekend was relaxing. Like Bonny, I'm a fan of early bed times - I usually go to bed a good 1-2 hours before Fletch! Your cowl does look like pastel Easter eggs. Very pretty. Also glad that Ruthie seems to be doing well. Here's hoping the BIG work project is not too annoying.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect weekend of relaxing and enjoying being home and with your favorite people and dog.
