Dare I hope?

Mother Nature’s been sort of cranky so far this summer.  I don’t mind the cool nights ’cause it’s great for sleeping.  But, I thought I would be able to put away my slippers for the season and take them out in the fall.  Not so much! 

The rain’s not getting me down too much either.  I’m always indoors – working. 

The Weather Chanel shows rain for the whole weekend.  It would be nice for the rest of you if it were sunny and warm.  But, for me, I’ll be stuck in a 10×10 room with a head set fused to my… well, my head… talking to people who drank too much and got in a fight.  

It’ll be a busy weekend for the boys in blue (or black) and the rest of us inside “triage-ing” the calls.  It’s LIFTOFFdown at Lamoureux Park.  Maybe I’ll go check it out after the shift.  Then again, maybe I’ll just want out of my uniform and trade it all for my cozy couch, a nice cup of tea and my knitting. 

It’s almost mid-July.  I can’t believe it.  Where does the summer go?  Jacob’s school sent his report card and next year’s calendar.  Their first day of school is August 26th.  Is it just me or does it get earlier and earlier every year? 

I’m still trying to figure out where to go for our holidays.  There are so many possibilities.  Cost is, however and unfortunately, an issue.  I have friends in Alberta that were willing to put us up – too expensive to fly there.  I have a cousin in Winnipeg who invited me to go see her.  I would really like to see more of Canada.  As I get older, I’m seeing how beautiful Canada really is.  We have a million parks, provincial and national, with scenery that would take anyone’s breath away.   Then there’s Panama.  It’s almost like there are too many options that I just can’t make up my mind.

Then there’s the job… I applied for a job with Parks Canada.   Dare I hope????

I wish I could stay hope and knit this weekend.  I’m feeling a lot of pressure – all these projects in my queue are wanting me to knit them, now.  I could make them all at the same time???!!!  Could you imagine?  I would run out of space to put them all.  There are just too many.  February Lady’s next I think. 

Unless… a client asked me to make a dress for her little girl (who looks like an angel with the biggest blue eyes ever) for her baptism in August.  That my occupy my knitting time for a bit.  I should really finish my Korella.  I’m not that motivated on that project.  Strange ha?  

Well, happy knitting and a good weekend.
