Many rows to go before I sleep, but it looks really nice.

Next Item...
Having finished the socks, I'm going to return my efforts to the double knit hat, Checkers.
After work, my plan is to stop by my supervisor's house to say hello, then over to JoAnn's for a little bottle of Fray Check to use on Monica--some of her loops want to disappear to her insides--due to the yarn being acrylic--there are no "hooks" (as in a wool yarn) to hold it in place.
In the meanwhile, I am working my morning routine, and the dog is asking to be let back in to eat breakfast.
Now that that's done, I can resume my thoughts. I woke up wondering about my friend and supervisor from JoAnn's this morning. I'm not sure why. I'm not really excited about going into the office this morning, because I think I could use another few hours of sleep. Funny how the day job just cuts right into the body's need for rest, huh?
But I need to leave already, without having put down a single funny thing. Maybe I'll check Cnn. There's always something funny going on over there.

A Little Bit of Everything...
Only in Michigan, can you rise, with the sun, cloud over in ten minutes, start to rain, change to snow, then sleet for a bit, then turn into a thunderstorm.
Yep.
Only in Michigan.
So it's been pretty noisy the last couple of hours, but I'm almost done with the toes on my socks. I might have to rip them out, because I think I may have stopped too soon--you see, I used a little negative ease, and thought I could stop my knitting at the point where my toes meet my feet--but that's turning out to be a shorter distance on the sock due to the negative ease. An inch of knitting stretching out to about 1/2 inch, means that when I put my foot in the sock, the toes won't be quite long enough. So I should have knit another 2" before starting the toes.
The jury's still out on the matter, but it's looking like I'll have to re-do the toes. Not a problem, since the toes usually go pretty quickly. It's the 2" more straight knitting that has me hoodwinked. Time will tell. I'll do a couple more decreases, then try on the sock. I'll know instantly if that's the case.
In the meanwhile, I'll make chicken for dinner and listen to the thunder.

My Redneck-Letter Day
Socks, especially hand knit socks, do not dry well in the garage when its cold, so I hooked up a clothesline in my breakfast nook.
Is there a fashion label called "Redneck Chic?

It's Cold in Dem 'der HIlls!
My computer weather center says that it's only 27 degrees outside.
Brr.
I thought it was supposed to be SPRING by now? My body is screaming for warmer weather. It's just been weird this spring. First we had this lovely week, when it was sunny and warm, and this week, we're all cloudy and cold cold...brrrr.
Makes a body want to jump back under the covers to get warm again!
Sadly for me, I have 2 classes tonight--a crochet and a knitting class. Neither are particularly difficult, but I need to prepare, so this blog will be quite short.
It's April Food's day. A good day to draw for Tarot, to see what's going to happen--
King of Cups
9 Cups (reversed)
6 swords
Well, this tells me that my husband, who has not been very pleased with the way I've set up my retirement account, is going to travel to the Investment firm and have my funds rearranged.
Well, that's sort of dumb--I knew that last night!
Still waiting for the mechanic to call me about the loaner car--so I can bring my car in to be repaired. No word yet, and it's been an extra 3 days. I wonder if they got their air compressor fixed?
It's 6:17. Gotta go!
