Monday update
I'm procrastinating typing up a bit of what I wrote today, so I thought I'd drop by with an update, perhaps expound a bit on my weekend.
On Saturday, though sick as can be (fever, sore throat, nice little head cold), I went to the Seahawks game. Luckily it didn't rain because sitting out there with wet hair would not have been a good thing, I'm thinking. But it was so fun, so damn fun to be there. Now, you all know how much I lurve the football. So of course playoff games with my favorite pro team are going to be top of the line, right? And it was, it was great in every way. We had so much fun, and it was so worth the ticket prices.
After that game was over, we trekked from Sodo up to the U-Dist to watch my much beloved Wazzu Cougs (#4 in the nation, baby!) take on the Huckin' Fuskies. It was a good game, as close as you would expect a rivalry game to be. And since we won, it was just that much sweeter. Between football and men's basketball, we've now beat them nine out of the last ten times we've played. There were days when that was totally, completely unfathomable. Things are different right now, and I'm just enjoying it while it lasts.
I have done so much writing lately. Definitely a good thing, I think. I'm excited about the product, and I'm excited about just indulging in the creative process, so it is very good. Of course, that'll cut into my knitting time, but it's not like I ever finish any of that anyway. Oh...kind of like some of my stories. Heh. Not a good comparison, though, because I swear I'll finish my stories. That scarf with the knit, knit, knit, purl plus one knit? Maybe not so much.
Work is going well. I mean, as well as work can go. There's a lot to do, but I kind of like that it keeps me busy. I sneak in a little writing (by hand, ugh) when I can, but mostly I'm just busy, busy, busy.
Collette has decided to move back here in March after her current quarter ends. She'll be applying to a vet tech school rather than going to the additional three years vet school would take post-graduate. It's a good idea for her, because she hates her school, she's not having a good time living off-campus (and she can't move back on-campus because she done went and got a dog), and she's just such a homebody. So, I think she and I will probably look for a place together, which would be interesting, to say the least. At first I was worried that meant I'd see a lot more of my mom (because Collette is soooo her favorite, besides my nephew), but then I remembered that she doesn't like to drive in the city, so yay! I get Collette and NO extra Mom. Good times, good times.
Alright, well, I do need to finish typing this chapter up tonight so I can send it on to Becky for a beta. And now that I'm taking to posting around here a little more, I'm going to try really hard to be a better commenter. To be the best damn commenter that I possibly can! :)
