Better with a side of beer

Well, the headspace started clearing after I had my chiro appointment and some silk garden shopping therapy. Glenn put me completely back in place and I couldn't believe how far out things were. Wow. Then I headed to the mall to do some shopping. I managed to hit all of the sales at Gap Body and Eddie Bauer. Did you know that Tuesdays are an Extra 10% off of stuff at Gap with their card? And I hit the sale at Eddie Bauer for Buy one, get another 50% off and an additional 30% on all of their sale stuff. Very awesome. I made out like a bandit. Lots of shirts, 3 pairs of pants, 1 pair of jeans and some bras. During the trips around the mall I got another phone added to our plan for richard...hey, he's a Kemp(in). So he's family. richard, I think you'll need to activate it or something...its still listed as "pending/suspended"

Got dinner at Chipotle for mel and I. Got him a big carnitas burro and I got a steak bowl with lots of grilled veggies. Then hopped by bevmo for beer and home. Mel was into beer when I got home. It will be a miracle if he doesn't kill a coirker this week. Had a nice dinner and richard came over with Watchmen and we enjoyed the flick thoroughly. I managed to kill the battery on my phone and had to do a reset on it this morning. It wasn't happy to have no juice. Oops. I had a nice evening...work wasn't too heinous. I'm just plugging away at things and not really worrying about the deadlines. People will just have to cope that things are tight on time and I'm getting to things as I can.

This afternoon, I'm gonna leave on time again and get working in the shop and then hit knit night. That should put me fully into a better mood and I'm happy about that. I need the pick me up of girl company and crafting.

On day 3 of the getting back into me...

Well, I'm taking longer to reset myself than I thought but I'm doing much better...especially compared to last week. Got home on time, worked in the shop on A&S stuff. Its going but I need to email Stefan and see if I'm doing things right and to find out when he will be back.

Did that for about an hour and then got things organized to have me go to knit night. It took me a while to get things together and I even brought the hat to frog. It was a big night with the other knit group joining us. We were a loud bunch and lots of good stories going around. I learned how to purl correctly, how to ID a pearl versus a knit and how to do ribbing. My first real project will be a scarf out of Noro but I'm practicing now. I'm happy about that...and I guess I look like I know what I'm doing since people were asking what I was "swatching" for...tee hee.

After knit night, scribe_ari and I headed to Frost for gelato. They had a rum raisin that tasted just like butter rum life savers which are my fav life saver. We stayed sitting outside discussing books and getting me up on some discworld knowledge since I've never read any of the books. It was a good night. The quote of the evening: "Is that a pump cavitating*?" and realizing that no, it was people KISSING AT THE NEXT TABLE!!!

I'm about to hit the shower and then snuggle into bed to read more about Pres Garfield's assassination.

Feeling much better and that is a good thing.

*to form cavities or bubbles transitive verb : to cavitate in; ie a pump sucking air versus water
