Tuesday busy day.

Work plodded along. I'm working on a report, so its kinda snooze fest but the data is interesting. I also got to get a refresher class on secondary locking features for joints and that was actually good. Not as dry or as intensive as last week's class on Torque calculations. I knit during this week's class and that helped me absorb things. I love that I can hyper focus that way...wish I had known that in college.

Got done with work and I did a modified work out. I did my incline pushups and hindu squats combo, the minute sets of chins/dips/pullups. I modified my presses to not do them standing and did them on the bench and then worked my legs hard on the machines. I'm actually almost getting through all of each set with out taking a quick 10 sec break. I'm happy with that. Then I went and grabbed the bar and did bench presses. I need to now add weights to that. I hadn't used the bar since college so I needed to gauge what it was at my level now. Easy is what it was. I got changed and then headed home.

I was tuckered out when we got home and had mel reset my ankle and then we headed off to have dinner at Ed and Candaces's with Diana Paxson. Yes, that Diana Paxson, aka Diana Listmaker, aka founder of the SCA, aka fantasy writer extraordinaire. She is a very neat lady. We enjoyed taco's, good conversations, interkingdom anthropology and craft time. I worked on the blanket, Lorrie (diana's friend) worked on some faboo socks in Dream in Color Starry and Wander worked on crochet half gloves. Mel ended up teaching Lorrie the beginnings of nalbinding. Throughout all of that Holly was cute and funny and the conversation was excellent. It was a good night.

Got home, showered and went to bed. I did read for a bit but I was a good girl and shut off my light when mel went to sleep. I slept okay...though more is good. I got to work on time and that is a first in a long time. I have time to make up and lots to do so more time in the day is good.

Tonight is the Knit Night Anniversary potluck at Grandma's. Its been just over a year since grandma's started their Wednesday night knit night and we decided to celebrate. Yes, its Cinco de Mayo and we thought..why not? Hope to see a few of you there. Asa, do you want to learn to knit or crochet?

So, it should be a good night.

Probably crochet since that is what I am most familiar with. I am absolutely clueless when it comes to knitting. Is the potluck a dinner potluck? Just trying to determine what to bring. See you this evening. I am guess between 6 and 6:30.

I'll bring you some practice yarn and a hook and book

it's probably a snack potluck. I'm probably gonna bring eegees and tequilla.
