Finally, a completely normal week. I’ve been yearning for
that for months it seems but was always either getting over a trip or planning
for the next one. Between the knowledge that I’ll be home for almost 3 months
and the fall weather, it was a wonderful week. Dull but wonderful.
The highlight of the week was the finale of our WIP (work in
progress for the non-knitters) contest at the library. I came up with the idea
of this contest when the library flooded and we had to relocate Monday Night
Knitting to the vets’ club. I thought it would only be a few months but it
stretched to nine. Since we contributed a prize to the pot for each WIP we
finished, there were tons of prizes. I had also made Downton Abbey project bags
filled with yarn and other goodies for everyone who participated. Add the
potluck we’d planned and it was going to be fun.
We had originally planned to only have 3 winners but Lori
and Michelle and Andrea and I had separately discussed it and had come up with
the same idea to have everyone win. Since there was a prize for every ticket,
we decided to pull names and you got to choose a prize each time your name was
drawn. My name was drawn first and I picked, of course, a beautiful skein of
sock yarn. We kept picking and so got something for every WIP we finished.
Everyone left happy. Yay!
The rest of the week was as normal as it gets. I got my
haircut, swam twice, had healthy food for just about every meal and was just
the right amount of busy at work. All good. Darla messed up on the date of our
Omaha run so I ended up with a free weekend, which was just what I needed. I
slept late on Saturday, which is a rarity and felt great, then ran errands in
town, cooked a bunch and managed to get most of my chores done on top of
swapping out all my summer clothes for winter. I even met the Democratic
candidates for Senator and Governor (both very impressive) at the Saunders
County Democrats’ dinner on Saturday night. And I got some knitting done
between it all. Shocking, I know. Hopefully I’ll have a run of normal weeks
like this. It’s exactly what I need.
