A Couple of Bumps in the Road

It's not been a bad couple of days, just not as smooth going as I would have appreciated.
A few tiny little bumps in the road.

I think it's some sort of cosmic connection between the weather and my return to the city. I tend to have sort of re-entry issues whenever I come back from vacation. It just so happens that this years annual "why the heck do I live in this city when I really want to live in the woods"-type-angst is corresponding with some particularly raining gray weather. So I've been in a bit of a funk.

So, then there were the few little bumps. I took my film to be developed from my trip so that I could write about it and add pictures but it's going to take 6 days to get them on CD. So, I'll have to write about the trip without photos for now. When I was on the subway on the way home last night I caught some yarn for Rob's dad's present in my bag and tore it. Not to mention the design struggle I'm having with it. Then, I was working on my mum's Christmas present last night and got about 5 VERY LONG rows into it when I realized I was doing it wrong and have to tear out that section. Sheesh! AND I had to go for the repeat of the repeat of a stooooopid pap test tonight. It's bad enough to have to do it once a year let alone thrice, just because (as I found out today) the manufacturer of the stinkin' kits was sending out defective ones for a few months -- of which I got two. Luckily, they are supposed to have corrected the problem. All that, just to find out that nothing's wrong with me anyway. Double sheesh!

But, things are starting to pick-up a little bit. I finished Kristin's present and mailed it to her today. There'll be pictures on that topic later, too. And Susanna helped me narrow my search for a song to choreograph my tap piece to. And after my doctor's appointment I went to my first Stitch and Bitch. It was at Lettuce Knit. Stitch and Bitch isn't as nasty as it sounds. It's a small group of ladies who sit around in the yarn shop gabbing and knitting. I went tonight mostly because I needed help with Rob's dad's gift. But I got a good deal of knitting done too. And we had some good conversation. Fun times.

Now, it's getting late so I'll have to write about the trip another day. Tomorrow I have dance class so maybe on the weekend.

Talk to you soon,
