Well, some extra reading material is never a bad thing, right?

I’ll, um, just add it to the top of the pile. It’s GOOD to have recreational reading, though!

Today has been a crazy, late day. Everything’s been just a little off. I over slept–not by a lot, just by one alarm clock “snooze”–but enough to throw things off. Then, I goofed when I measured out my oatmeal this morning and ended up with soupy gruel instead of, you know, oatmeal. I even tried adding some 1-minute oatmeal to the pot (I always eat the Old-Fashioned, 5-minute oatmeal) to thicken things up, but to no avail. But by the time it was done … well, not done, exactly, but it was late enough I didn’t have any more time to mess with it … because I HAD added extra oatmeal to my extra water, there was too  much of it to fit into my bowl and still have room for enough milk to cool it off enough to be able to eat it. So I had to dump some into the garbage, and I was still eating at 7:20, when it’s time for Chappy’s breakfast. You can imagine how he felt about that!

Then, we had thunderous, torrential rain this morning, with lots of thunder and lightning. Huge amounts of rain–there was so much coming down the hill toward the office door, I was afraid my car was going to wash inside the building. (Well, not literally.) We had a client come to visit, and just as he walked in the door at the height of the storm, I noticed my phone wasn’t working. Neither was one of my office neighbor’s phones … but everybody else’s was. (I don’t know why either.) But I had to get everybody in the office off the phones so I could reboot the phone system–all as quickly as possible, so I could get into the meeting with the visiting client.

Um … the rest of the day kind of followed the pattern. Late home for lunch because of the meeting. A suddenly-swamped mailbox this afternoon. Headache from the shifting air pressure from the storm. Tired, tired eyes from the computer.

But, there was one, huge bright spot.

(Well, other than Chappy–who always makes me smile.)

And, you’ll like this one. Because, I’ve got something else you might want to read–an Interview with Kay and Ann from Mason-Dixon Knitting at Knitting Scholar!

As in–an interview with me, over at my book review site. How cool is THAT? (You, um, DID know they’ve got a new book coming out next week, right?) This was SO much fun! Not only that, I only sprung the idea on them on Sunday night, sent them the questions yesterday, and had them back today with great answers. Funny, entertaining, insightful … just what you’d expect from Kay and Ann. Part one of the interview is up right now; part two is coming up in a day or so…
