On Monday January 21, I began the adventure that is Interim Manger. After a week of it, I'm not certain I would take the actual manager job if they offered it to me right now. Maybe next week, but today, I would have to think and think hard! But then cats and two bedroom apartments have been playing on my mind a lot lately. It makes me feel sorta bad when I think that my Living room is also my Sewing room which is sad for anyone who wants to come visit, because my sewing area is in a constant state of ill repair shall we say....
On recommendation from a very lovely person I picked up a couple books by Sarah Caudwell, Wonderful Who donnit type books but with really really good word usage. I love words they do fascinate me. One word I have picked up on lately is Enigmatic, granted it is not that big a work, but do you know what it means? Today at work I said a whole sentence that was in "big words" and the two girls I was talking to both looked at me confused. It was awesome! But don't ask me what I said, it was contextual and I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
On one of the rougher days last week I had great Mail day, in fact it was Thursday. How odd, Thursdays are always good days, but not last Thursday, work was miserable! Oh but it was a good mail day, so I guess it still holds true. I didn't get to open my good mail though until Friday because I fell into bed when I got home, just after I put the ice pack on my knee, and fell asleep. I had a fall at work and got the biggest bump and bruise covering the majority of the knee area on my leg. I sent a picture to my mom, but figured the rest of the world doesn't need to see such things... Anyway, I got a box and three books. Two were the Sarah Caudwell books and the other was Knitting without Tears by Elizabeth Zimmerman. The box? well that was a box of yarn from Beaverslide, Montana. Below is the picture of the sweater I want to make with the yarn and above the yarn itself.
Have a wonderful day
