I'm relieved

Guess what? I've been knitting. Please praise the knitting gods. I casted on for a plain stockinette toe up sock the other day (with my new harmonies, nonetheless!) and have even done several rows on Bee Fields. I'm feeling it, I'm feeling it.

I haven't knitted as much as I'd like because of work. The receptionist has been out all week with the flu (it's REALLY going around here) and since I'm primary backup, that leaves me at the front desk... which also means that I've been working 9.5 hour days to at least keep a semi-controlled handle on my responsibilities as well as working up front. So I've been pretty exhausted this week, but it will be a long weekend for me (my b-day is Monday and I've taken that day off) so I'll be fine.

In addition, the democratic debate is going to happen next week RIGHT NEXT DOOR to where I work. CNN has been calling wanting to reserve classrooms, but hello? We have classes in them. The parking lot behind our building (which is where everyone on campus parks) will be shut down due to news crews and security purposes. The rumor is that we may have to shut down our building for the day, or at least part of the day. Cross your fingers. That would make next week awesome: out Monday, work Tuesdays and wednesday, out Thursday, work Friday. Sweet!

But this weekend I just want to lay low. Hopefully my knitting inspiration will continue, maybe I'll go see a movie, have a few good meals. I have a dr's appt on Monday, but I hope that will be quick and painless and I can enjoy the rest of my day then.
