Procrastiknitting

Or, how I nearly completed a sock today when I should have been studying (*cringe*). I slept late, made a mountain of pancakes (Peter was home today, too), and dove into the rest of the Roman satires I had to read for my class. You know, I always thought satire was - funny. These, not so much. In fact I fell asleep several times reading Juvenal. But I did finish them all... although in honesty I doubt I will retain a word of it. Fortunately that's only a small part of the exam.

Then, after a deep-fried lunch (Peter really REALLY loves the deep fryer I got him for his birthday), we watched "Patton" on tv. That's a 3.5 hour movie on the AMC channel. That's a LOT of knitting time. Got to within half an inch of the toe decrease on mom's second sock, and put another foot or so on the Wedding Afghan. Also noodling around with my next design (!) for class, because I talked to the coordinator last night and I need to provide samples within the next week. I know what I want it to look like, I just have to figure out how to do it. That will be Sunday, probably most of the day between laundry loads.

And now it's nearly 8 and to be honest, I'm tired. Sit-on-butt days which should be restorative somehow leave me more drained than active days. The upside is, I'm still in my pyjamas from this morning so I can just fall back into bed. And the exam isn't until 2 tomorrow afternoon so I can sleep in again. :) Because really, if I don't know it by now, cramming in the morning isn't going to help. I just have to rely on my combined powers of recall and bulls*** to get me through.
