A Free Friday

Happy Friday, friends! I'm off from work again, though the only thing I'll really be free from is my work laptop. In every other way, it's going to be a normal Friday. As long as the weather cooperates, I'll go for a run this morning, then clean bathrooms and wash the towels. I've got a couple of returns to drop off with UPS and will need to go to Trader Joe's to get ingredients for the Father's Day make-up dinner. But after all of that, I'll be able to relax all afternoon while Ruthie naps. Considering that the past several days I've been buried in work, that alone is worth having the day off.

What I am really looking forward to doing this long weekend is focusing a bit more on my knitting. Here's where things stand with my current WIPs:

I've reached the heel flap of the second sock of my current pair and finished the decreases on the BSJ. As these socks for for my small-footed sister-in-law, it's possible they'll be finished this weekend. The BSJ will take a bit longer, but there's no rush. I'm hoping to find some time to dig through my stash this weekend to find something suitable for a sweater or summer top of some sort -- I'm thinking ahead to when we're on vacation (we'll be away for most of the week after July 4) and I'll have more free time to work on a bigger project.

Once again Molly has much more going on this weekend than I, with another driving lesson and a graduation party to attend. I’ll be walking, weather permitting, and I'll be bracing myself for a predicted heat wave that's coming at the beginning of next week -- temps are supposed to get up into the 90s, ick! 

Whatever the last weekend in June holds in store for you, I hope you can enjoy it. See you back here on Monday!

  1. Enjoy your freedom on Friday! I'm not sure it's really freedom if you are cleaning bathrooms, doing laundry, and running errands, but at least that will free up time for the rest of the weekend to knit and look through stash. I just looked at the weather and saw temperatures of 97-100, so I quickly looked away. I guess I better enjoy a humid 85 while it lasts. Have a good weekend!

  2. YAY for another FREE Friday. Enjoy! I hope your necessary chores can be completed quickly and with ease so that you can move along into more pleasant things like stash diving, etc. I've got bathroom cleaning and towel washing on my agenda for tomorrow (unless by some miracle I feel like doing those things today). Where are you going the week after the 4th?

  3. Enjoy your day off! I am not looking forward to next week's weather... sigh. I love how your knitting is all in a similar hue! (looks autumnal to me! And that is not a bad thing!)
