So, I’ve booked a week off. For me, that means only two shifts on a short week. It’s so awesome. The purpose of my week off is not to travel (I’m totally pouting about that these days). I booked the week off to de-clutter my house. I moved here in 2006 and I’ve been steadily accumulating things ever since. It’s not a big house, which is making the said accumulation of things a bit problematic.
Now, I’m not a good planner. When I have days off, I really like to dilly-dally. It’s probably something that drives my family and friends crazy. Them: “When do you think you’ll be here?” Me: “Not sure… How’s four-ISH?” Then I get lost in whatever I’m doing that day – reading blogs and drinking coffee, looking at stuff on Ravelry, knitting or crocheting, yoga… Or whatever. I just LOVE being home.
In light of my flakiness, I’ve come up with a plan for the five days of next week. Every hour between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm is accounted for. I NEED to do this so I don’t lose time just getting lost in my little space. It’s going to be a lot of work. But it’s going to be SO worth it when it’s done.
Now, I just have to figure out where I’m going to put all my wool, fiber and all things related. This is probably the thing I’m most worries about.
Today, I’m working on a yoga mat bag in the colors of the chakras. I think it’s turning out awesome!! I had to go get two balls of yarn at Michaels though. I had made myself a promise not to purchase any yarn until I had made a serious dent in my stash. But this project would not have been what it is without these two extra colors. The colors I already had were left overs from the monkey hat and leg warmers. So, considering the thing has eight colors in it, $12 is a pretty awesome as my cost for this project!
I’m pretty excited right now. I’m having Thai for dinner and then it’s knitting night. After knitting, I’m driving to Ottawa to see Steve. On the way there, I made a phone date with one of my bestest friends Michelle. Perfect chatting time – in the car. I have Bluetooth…. In case anyone is thinking that I used hand-held while driving. That’s illegal in Ontario. Hahah.
Hope your day is as awesome as mine!
