evening off

Ha ha, I was right, they were for pom-poms. Thanks, K9! My pom-poms always look a bit wonky, so this should help greatly. And I can take them to Mum's to make the Interweave pom-pom christmas tree - no, I don't know why she likes it either - but it should give the professional touch.

I needed the chocolate. Electronic pats aplenty.

I misjudged some marking, and have spent evenings and evenings on it, and I'm still not finished. I think that the damn papers are breeding at night. I've been going to work, then getting home, eating, and marking. Getting up, marking, and going to work. And it's parent/teacher interview season, which makes me jumpy. I hate p/t interviews. It's one of the few things that I can't control my anxiety about.

I've decided to take tonight off. I'm tired. I bought a nice bottle of red wine, and I'm having a few glasses in front of the computer and the tv, wrapped in my lovely furry blanket. It's cold here. It feels almost like snow. The mountains are wreathed in mist, and the sky is cloudy. It's nice. I want to finish Tubey, and start on Argyle from the new Magknits. I haven't had time to knit this week, and it's getting me edgy, because I use knitting as a way to deal with stress.

Veritas - I got the new Dresden Dolls album! And I actually saw some of that edition of Rage :-) I'm glad you liked your stuff - you were a great SP to have. I'm also glad I got the chance to share that dukka with someone! If you want some more, lemme know. I can only get it once a month, because that's when the market is. I thought that the Noddy eggcup would make you think of Enid Blyton, and go....ooooooooh noooooooo....
