Rainy days and Tuesdays

Thanks god for the free carwash! This picture is from yesterday, but today looks just the same. I've been feeling a nondescript ickiness for about a week. I had a very un-fun weekend (except for the part where my darlin' RG came over and grilled some still mooing steaks) and I've been in a near "bell jar descending" headspace. Then yesterday I learned of a death in the family of a close old friend, and I decided to snap out. I have nothing at all to be grumpy about. Just check out my cool socks! Yes, I made these some time ago, but I'm sure some of you out of staters have never seen them.  

If you look closely you can see little drops of rain on my toe. 

This morning, yes it's raining, but it's still going to be in the 80's. Naturally I decided to download a few patterns for wool sweaters. I found an owl sweater!!! 

It's just like the owl hat (which you might remember from your Christmas card photo) and so I have no choice but to make it, even if we are headed straight for 100+ degree weather. Yes I HAVE finished sweaters. Really! 

I've spent a crazy amount of time on Ravelry today, and I can't believe I never use it. Stupid! Stupid! But I did start on the sushi cat. I could be finishing it right now. Instead I'm just lounging with Notlee, drinking coffee and wasting the hours away...
