\"MoreToday, I washed the kitchen floor and the bathroom floor.\u00a0 Yeah, me.\u00a0 I also cleared off nearly one third of the dining room table.\u00a0 Got rid of a lot of minor email\u00a0 tasks that had been building up in my inbox.\u00a0 Made a loaf of bread (Italian but it didn’t rise quite right so that’s going to need a few more tries before it becomes a keeper recipe or I give up).\u00a0\u00a0 I also wrote out the steps (pseudo-code) to programming a display page for a website I’m working on — now I just have to program it (pseudo-code is the way to go on shiny days.)<\/p>\n

Then I managed to watch some movies and spin and spin and spin.\u00a0 We bought one of those family pack DVD movies — you know the really cheap kind in the sale bin.\u00a0 I watched\u00a0 Africa Screams<\/em><\/a>, an Abbott and Costello movie, Captain Kidd<\/em><\/a> (Charles Laughton, Randolph Scott, Barbara Britton, and John Carradine), and started Christmas without Snow<\/em><\/a> (Michael Learned, John Houseman, Ramon Bieri, and James Cromwell) — maybe I’ll finish that one tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Remember, the spinning is of lace weight.\u00a0 I’m over spinning it and now believe that I’ll Navajo ply it for 3-ply when I get the first spool filled.\u00a0 Hopefully that will be at the end of this weekend.\u00a0 It looks like I might make the goal of spinning every day during the Tour de Fleece but I really doubt that I’ll get the full pound of green spun by the 27th.\u00a0 But hope springing eternal and all that jazz — I’ll just keep going on it.<\/p>\n

There is a slight snag in that I’m going to Readercon in Massachusetts from July 17th to the\u00a0 20th.\u00a0 The car is going to be too full to bring the wheel so it will be a drop spindle for those days — I’m wondering if I can keep the thread consistent from spinning wheel to spindle.\u00a0 I might just decide to keep going on the sock yarn I’ve got started on a spindle now so I do the “every day” even though it doesn’t help with the pound of green fiber.<\/p>\n

So, tomorrow is another day and I’m beat from all the stuff I did today.\u00a0 I know it doesn’t look like much in a list but it took just about all my spoons today.\u00a0 I’m just hoping I don’t pay for it tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
