This week has been pretty good for me...not so for other people and I forgot to post about that. My PE Mike went in on monday after having "chest pains" which he thought was just indigestion and ended up having bypass surgery on Tuesday AM. He's doing good but he's gonna be out for a while to heal up. Keep him in your thoughts and honestly folks...go in if your heat burn hasn't cleared up in 8 hours after taking lots of antacid...seriously. Dumb boys..basically my other PE James had to tell him that he was going to call the ambulance if he didn't go in on Monday. Thank goodness he listened. Don't be DUMB!

Got home from a fruitful day at work and I got down to making myself a really nummy omelet. I think there will be more of that tonight. Then I got cracking on my studio and now have it set up for use. Admittedly, a bit more re-org would make it a bit more tidy but its usable and I set my calligraphy stuff up. I'm hoping to get a few scrolls done this week and really hit things hard next week to clean out my case. During the cleaning I did manage to get my new speakers to play my iphone but it doesn't charge it. I can just keep my ipod plugged in and use the aux in cable for the phone too..which is what I will probably do. They both have the same music, I just use the phone for pod casts right now. All good though.

After the studio blitz I changed clothes, grabbed my afghan and headed to grandma's for knit night. Had a really nice time and got to see folk's progress. One of the gals is knitting two socks at once on circular needles and its fascinating. Doing them both at once guarantees that you get equal stitches on each sock, thus matching socks in size, maybe not color repeats depending on your yarn but it also helps with the dreaded "second sock syndrome" which is a plague upon knitters as I understand. Basically, you are triumphant and have finished a sock and now you need to do the other one and its disheartening since you got to do it all over again to get the second one.

So,I had to leave to go to class but I had a good time, especially using the iPhone to get another song in our heads ,"Dead Man's Party, versus "Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer" which was in our heads cause of Viki's granddaughter's little moose toy. Got to class and got going. Paul is obviously in the "lets kick our butts" mentality. Ugh, more legs this week joy! Then while the black sashes tested one of our white belts the rest of us went through the 4 lower forms ad nauseum. Course I don't mind it, I needed to review the lower forms anyway...we probably went through the set about 5 times, usually doing each form twice in each set. So, lots of forms. Then we finished the night off with the gauntlet and that was fun. I got yelled at to not stay so static...uhm, yeah I know..but leg was tired. I'll work on it.

Got home, cleaned up the cat box (I really, really hat clay litter) and then headed to the shower. Got cleaned up and then back to the family room to work on embroidery. I got almost the bottom half of the hammer white done. I think I'm getting faster but I don't know. Then I perused through some books and found some of the information I needed on one of my A&S projects. I need to sit down and start writing out the documentation. Course I also need to order a few more of the York Archeological books too. (okay, ordered books, never mind). Then it was time for bed.

I finished WWZ and was very happy with it...though places were sad etc it was a really good look at the human condition and our society as a whole. Eye opening really. I slept okay, kept waking up but I got up and moving this morning...legs aren't as sore, arms are especially after I slammed my right elbow into the corner of the dresser. Ow..parts of my hand are still tingly. Gah!

On the agenda today are making a call to Stitch It for a blog post, doing some embroidery and of course the hall. Hopefully I can keep up.
