So far, so good, except for the studying and spinning part. Well, the day ain't done yet.
I finished the "mystery" project yesterday...slip-stitch cable arm warmers.
I like 'em, I really do. Glad they're done, because warmer #1 was, for some reason, just a big nuisance. #2 was a helluva lot easier-- in fact, I cast on for that one on Saturday morning before J & I went north and I was 90% finished with it by the time we set up our tent on Saturday evening.
Speaking of camping...it was great. The campsite was a rather secluded Itasca County site on a pretty lake. J has a knack for finding these off-the-beaten-path places. We like to camp (for free!) in remote, hike-in or canoe-in sites where we don't see anyone (or hardly anyone). I like the state parks in Minnesota, but they're often filled with at least some folks.
I didn't take any great photos from the weekend, unfortunately. Just these dumb (and mostly blurry) ones.
Lake, sky, tree trunk.
Um, same.
Lake.
Me in the tent at night. Woot.
Anyhoo...
I am worried about Bella-cat. She was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a while back, and she continues to get more skinny. She was off her meds for a bit because the vet gave me a new Rx food that's supposed to help, but it's not doing much. Bella barely eats. So, back on meds she goes. She's been so lethargic. It's sad. She's 13, getting older...I know. I know. What do I do, other than try to get her to eat and force those medications down her poor throat?
Oh, here's that handspun 2-ply I mentioned before (quick change of subject, yeah).
It'll look better when it's actually knit into something. I think.
Okay, I gotta go. I have to study. I must! I have a midterm in less than two weeks and I have to read four chapters by then. Yeah, all righty, it's not really that much, but oh boy, have I been slackin' since the start of this semester.
So. Yes. I must crack open the textbook.
