And still working away at the "multiple WIP reality" (someone else's blog, but I like the phrase) that is my life. Here's my life, in no particular order:
1) work. Spring is coming and in the construction industry that means we're busy. On the road, on the AutoCAD, on my knees cleaning out files to make room for more files. Busy busy busy. It's all good. Did I mention I got a raise last week and that they love me? All good.
2) Peter. Well, actually, he's #1 but I see more of work than I do of him. For now. Things are rolling along on the "get a house, get married" plan and while we're not quite on the planned midsummer schedule, it does look do-able for before Christmas. Stay tuned. Things are getting good.
3) writing. The novel has taken a rather dramatic shift in focus (I may have mentioned this before) so I'm reworking characters and figuring out what my "story arc" is. (Don't know what a story arc is? Me neither. But it sounds good, don't it?). Not much actual writing-writing, but a lot of prep work. This is also good.
4) fitness! Yes, I am sticking to my workout schedule fairly well. Except last week I overdid it on the cross-training and actually blew both my quads - 3 days of "it hurts to walk, sit, stand, drive, anything" owie owie ow. All better now and treadmill time and pace is increasing steadily. I am very psyched for the 1/2 at the end of May but a bit worried about how fast it's coming up! On the plus side, I am now OFFICIALLY less than 150 lbs, for more than a week. I broke through. Yay me!
5) Finally, knitting. I've got all but about 5 1/2" of dad's cardigan back finished and it looks great. Small mishap with measuring not looking right and a day of "oh crap, I'm gonna have to rip this back, aren't I?" But no! Measure twice, cut once! Re-measured dad and the sweater back, and it looks like coming out right. So I won't need to frig around with the sleeves after all. Bonus. And... drumroll please... I've put together my Shetland Chunky sweater and am knitting up the turtleneck. I expect to finish it Thursday night and wear it Friday. Deadlines are cool. Karen's scarf is still IP as is my first-ever eeny weeny sock (which I'm loving the colours of!). Pictures of all this good stuff on the weekend.
And finally finally, I woke up this morning with a sinus infection and have been on the good drugs all day. Now I'm sipping the last of the Neo-Citran and tucking myself into bed. Right... now. Well, after I post this. Then. yeah.
Goodnight Bloglanders and Knitfolk, and other special people.
