no snow last weekend, but it's predicted again for this weekend.

the mitten class ROCKED. 2 and 1/2 hours flew by and i ended up having to stay a little longer to get to a certain point in the mitten (the thumb gusset). i had homework too (knit body of mitten up to decrease), which is almost done. what i didn't know is that the class is actually 2 weeks, so, darn it, i get to go back this saturday too.

the first mitten is almost done because i spent today at home, in bed, sick. and people, when i say in bed, i mean IN BED. normally, even if i'm sick, i look at a day at home with out anyone else around as an opportunity to finish up some household chores. today, i didn't have the energy. i napped, read, napped, knit, napped, watched most of citizen kane, and napped some more. i did fix dinner, so there. in any case, i plan to be at work tomorrow, we'll have to see how it all goes. because of my health, the normally slow pace of household chore completion has ground to a complete halt. (don't worry joanna, i'll have the house mostly clean when you and ken arrive for thanksgiving!)

so anyway, not much on tap for this weekend due to the health of various members of the family-alix has got the sniffles, brian's feeling the cold coming on, or perhaps a sinus infection, rory seems to be riding it out with no problems. we're going to see if one of rory's classmates wants to get together for a play date on sunday, dinner with steve, lis and alice on saturday (health dependant) and the mitten class. besides that, hole up with a few netflix discs, hunker down and get better.
