I am very much looking forward to January being over. Or at least the next couple of weeks of it. The last few days have been quite the emotional roller-coaster, and right now I'm drained. Between general work insanity, the whole mudslide thing, cash flow issues, and Housemate Search 2005, I think it's time for a break.
With any luck at all, I will get out of here when I am supposed to, and will make it home with time left in the day to get some sewing done. I got nothing done at all last night due to some much needed video game playing and wine drinking with a friend. Overall, it was a good thing, but today I'm tired (a gaming hangover as one of the engineers called it) and feeling beat up and horribly behind. Whether I get caught up or not depends entirely on when/if I get a build for one or both of the projects I am working on. At this rate, I won't get either one until 3:30 or 4, which doesn't bode well for my 6:00 shuttle plan. Oh well. We'll see what happens. Worse things have happened than working a few hours of overtime.
I'm almost done with my commute socks. If the evening ride home is as slow as the ride this morning, I should finish the second sock tonight, and be left with 2 more balls of the yarn I used. I think I'm going to strand it with something fun and make a scarf or something for the gift stash. A really brainless project for the bus sounds like a good idea. I think though I have at least partially overcome my aversion to sock knitting. The 2-circular method wasn't working out for me at all, so I've been doing something like the magic loop technique, which works out well and doesn't leave me with extra needles flopping all over the place or DPNs falling out or poking people in the ribs. Plus it's fast and I can work with longer circular needles, which feel much better in my hands than the little short things. Finally! I can tolerate knitting not just one, but two socks! That match even! Yay! And I love wearing hand-knit socks, so this is a Very Good Thing.
In law school application world, I just got confirmation that one of the schools has all of my LDAS materials. This means I should start hearing from schools in about a month. It's a bit strange to actually be able to see the end of this whole process. It's been a full year since I decided to do this thing. At times, it seemed like it would drag on forever, that school would never actually happen, and now the reality of actually attending a law school, any law school, is starting to settle in. Am I ready to be a student again?
