Friday, Friday.
Sep. 7th, 2007 10:59 amWell, it's a typical Friday-- get up about 5am, run around doing stuff, take a quick afternoon nap for a few hours, and off to work.
Today's accomplishments so far:
*Dumped some truly horrid goo in the radiator of the car in an effort to slow down a thermostat gasket leak until I can get it fixed next week. That stuff is gloppier than oatmeal. Drove the car around for a bit to get it all flowing nicely through.
*Went to the store, the store. Bought groceries, including some lovely pears for 88 cents a pound. Contemplating making some pear butter-- I only make fruit butter when it's less than a buck a pound. Apples are all too high right now, but pear butter sounds lovely. However, it's a 6-8 hour undertaking, so not something I can do until, say, Sunday (I can peel and cut up pears that morning, cook it down with spices, and can it that night). I'd buy about 8-9 pounds of pears and have at it, and store them away for holiday presents.
*Bought the new issue of Interweave Knits, which despite their annoying habits, still dishes up the yarn pr0n. (Annoying habits: using all flat-chested models, having lots of models with long hair that overhangs the collars, showing items in weird poses or not presenting a picture of the completed item in full, laid out flat.)
*Wove in the ends on my new beret and threw it in with a load of wash to be felted.
*Reported the building's dryer broken, AGAIN. [ETA 12:08PM, it's fixed now]
*Ripped out three hours' of knitting and made a start on redoing it, on the hat I'm using as a vest tryout.
*Called my car insurance company and had them change my address and try re-mailing the stuff I need. Learned I could fax it in, so tonight I'm gonna misuse company resources to print it, and then fax it in.
I can't decide now if I want to knit a bit more, or work on cleaning off my desk. Since I'm not gaming anymore, I think I want to put the big monitor back on Hugin, and move Munin to my closet or something. (This would allow me a private place to go use the computer if I felt particularly antisocial. Yes, my closet is my office.)
I'll probably get to bed about 1 or 2ish, depending on when I feel like I'm done doing laundry.
