I’ve been getting some knitting done this weekend, which shouldn’t really surprise anybody.

See? I just finished the left front for my sweater. I cast-on for the right front, too, but really, right now it’s just a bunch of loops on a stick, hardly worth the picture.

I had both a lazy and a constructive day, today. Spent almost all my time either in the kitchen (constructive), or sitting on the loveseat in the dining room window (lazy). I baked some homemade bread this morning, made lunch for both my parents, since Mom is fighting a cold. I made supper, too, but since that consisted of boiling pasta and heating Ragu from a jar, it barely counts. (I actually would have made homemade sauce, and was even thinking about homemade pasta, but Mom’s stomach always acts up when she has a cold, and it didn’t seem worth the risk. I didn’t even add ground beef for meat sauce, but kept it as plain–read “boring”–as possible.)

  And then, in the dining room, I sat with Chappy, read, did some knitting. He mostly slept. Although, we did get out for a walk between storms (it’s supposed to be a wet week), so he may have been tired from that. First walk we’ve gotten in days, we’re both getting lazy.

My sister called me with a riddle this evening:

• What do you get when you cross a cat with wool?
• Mittens

(I didn’t say it was a good joke.)

Tomorrow, of course, it’s back to work–the holidays are officially over. My Dad’s birthday is on the 10th, though, so that’s something festive to look forward to. Maybe it will help get me through the dreary rain and snow we’re supposed to get tomorrow. One thing I have to do? Bring “The Producers” soundtrack with me in the car in the morning. Ever since seeing the movie on Saturday, I’ve been humming the songs. That show’s a toe-tapper.
