I’ve been busy trying to rework my week to fit in some workouts at the gym. I did manage to get there three times this week, including taking a spin class. I wish I was talking about spinning fiber, but no, I took the kind of spin class that makes it hard to sit down for three days! The good news is that Carrie cried the whole time I left her in the gym childcare Monday, cried for a few minutes on Wednesday, and didn’t even miss me today.
We’ve also spent a lot of time outdoors this week, because the weather has been absolutely gorgeous. Today it topped 70°, and Denis came home early, and we got some yard work done. I think this weekend I’m going to look for some kid-sized gardening tools for Carrie – she really wanted to use the rake and tried to steal my gloves.
In my spare time I’ve been working on some projects – maybe I’ll actually manage to take some pictures tomorrow. Carrie’s Snoopy pajamas are done with the exception of snaps, although they look enormous. I’ll have to try them on her tomorrow, but I don’t think they’ll fit until next fall/winter. I finished up the baby sweater that I was trying to deny the existence of a few days ago. And I’m actually…drum roll, please…working on sock #2 for Sockapaloooza! I got a repeat and a half done just now while watching three Tivo’d episodes of The Daily Show from this past week. OK, so we fast-forward through commercials, leaving each episode at maybe 24 minutes, and each repeat is 12 rows, so I can do 6 rows in 24 minutes, or 4 minutes per row. At that rate it should only take me…um, where’s the calculator app? Ah, yes, about 10 more hours of knitting. I can finish that by the end of April, right?
Congratulations on the gym visits! 3 times in a week is awesome. I work at a gym but I hardly ever actually work out, so I know how hard it is! I just did a cycle class yesterday so I understand how sore you must be too! It’s all worth it in the end! keep up the good work!
