Lazy Saturday

It's true, alcohol is the root of all evil. At the least, serious procrastination. Fortunately this particular indiscretion was cured by a diet coke, a pot of coffee, two tylenol and a lot of sleep.

Despite this handicap, I have positive things to report:

I did my taxes! I am legendary for completing all of it except one tiny step, then waiting MONTHS to finally finish. This time it was only weeks. Nothing like the promise of a pile of filthy lucre, direct from the government, to make one complete it.

A sent my camera in to be fixed! After years of nagging my children to put the wrist strap on before they started using it, especially over water and sand, I managed never to have a serious incident with my old camera. The new one? *I* dropped it, lens open, into the sand. Einstein. But I took it to the fabulous Sun Camera for repair and they anticipate it will be done on Tues. That's efficiency for you. (I haven't got the hang of this one yet - my pics tend to be blurry and the colour is weird. I hope I find the other one. I hope I start looking soon.)

I ripped out the gigantico arms of my cable swing cardi and they are progressing much faster now that they are 3" narrower. That's some effed up sizing. I rechecked the back and it seems to be fine so hopefully I'll find a way to merge the sleeves with the armholes with about a seven-size difference in stitch count. It hurts my head to think about so I'm ignoring it for now.

I've knit both the toys in the KBOY - the octopus/squid twice. No pictures since they are still on my defunct camera.

Jack is five, Calvin is big enough to be physically helpful, sassiness seems to be abating (am I jinxing myself or what?) and all is right with the world. I'm still fat though. Some things are a constant in my life. What - coffee and Nutella taost isn't a healthy breakfast? Not even *part* of a healthy breakfast? I'm shocked.

I'm contemplating the logistics of buying actual BOLTS of fabric. Maybe I should get on with the attic.
