Master Of Efficiency

One good thing about being busy is that you learn to make every minute count.  I’m getting pretty good at that, and well, its a good feeling to get things accomplished!

Accomplishment #1:  I drank 4 pots of tea last night and slogged through my paperwork until 4AM.  It’s done!!!  I didn’t feel all that awesome when I woke up at 7:30, but I have survived the day, and feel happy not to have paperwork looming when I get home.

I helped out today with robotics.  It was great fun to see things take shape.  The robot is getting taller, but I can’t show pictures because I’m sworn to secrecy.  It will all be revealed toward the end of February.  Needless to say, it’s going to be great.  I ate dinner with the kids, then I left at 7pm tonight.  I did not have to stay until 10pm, and that is a nice feeling to be able to leave and know that things will be just fine without you…

Accomplishment #2  I went shopping.  I HATE shopping, but I did it anyway.  I went to Value Village and got 3 pairs of pants–the first 3 I tried all fit!  Success….

Accomplishment #3  Since I saved so much time shopping for pants, I wandered over to the yarn section–dangerous!  Today it was a real gold mine.  I got all of this for $12.  10 balls of Superwash double knit 100% wool, a skein of handspun, and 2 large balls of roving.  I’m not sure how the roving will spin up, but it is soft, and interesting colours…and doesn’t smell like pets or cigarettes….it smells a bit like wood-smoke, but that’s fine with me.

Accomplishment #4 In the 1 hour since I left robotics I did all that shopping, filled the car with gas, got groceries and got home and into my PJs.

Now what….knitting?  spinning?  sleeping?  so many options.

    That is a crazy value village score. I would never have thought they would have roving to spin.

    in your shoes with 3 hours sleep the night before, I would be tempted to jump under the covers and shut it down…but spinning would be so tempting with a few free hours. Tough call.
