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.
