How to do nothing.

I have been BORING these last few days! I didn't do anything this weekend. Seriously, I left my house ONCE in a two day period. Sometimes, with nursing, I get very tired of people in general, and feel like I want to be alone. I think I get tired of doing the happy smiley thing 24/7. I'd like to sometimes just be - not mad, sad, happy, or anything... just be.

(On a happy side note about nursing, I've had three patient compliments in the last month that have been sent to my supervisors. The last one commented that I was "awesome". One very sweet person said I was "the best nurse" he's "ever seen". It makes me feel good to know that I'm connecting to people in that way.)

Anyhow.... I had started on Foliage, and promptly ripped it out. My attention span made me cause so many errors that I decided to rip it. Then I worked and worked on my last Tangled Yoke sleeve. (I was re-watching season 5 of Buffy this weekend.)

I also learned how to do an Italian tubular cast on, so I could work on those endpaper mitts soon. I practiced on some scrap yarn. This video to teach you this cast on rocks, and made it seem really simple. Thank goodness for the internet.

And how do you make those mosaics of your knitting for the year? I want to make one, but haven't a clue how.

Rip Rip Rip

I just started a new project and have already ripped it out. I always pick things they are probably above my level, but I *hate* dishcloths. And I'm a sink or swim kind of girl.

I got my provisional license today. It made my stomach turn a little bit. I'm very excited about it, but you also realize what a big responsibility you have taken on. I start on Monday. First two weeks are classes.

Also, another kitty milestone with Loverbunny. He actually let me trim his claws yesterday. I couldn't believe it!!! Now if Miss Molly would just let me trim hers......
