There is a light at the end of this week's tunnel...

[untonuggan]

What. Even. Happened to my week? It was going to be all nice and ~relaxing~ and maybe getting things done, and then WHAM all the medical appointments. Seriously, I was not expecting a week with a medical appointment on four out of five days.

So here's 10 good things to sustain me through the week:

1. Made a connection with jelazakazone , who is LOCAL and we are going to meet face-to-face next week for QUILTING TIME. I am very thrilled about this. (We may have talked geeked out on the phone for an hour. Just saying. It was much-needed.)
2. There is a fiber guild meeting on Saturday and I am NOT going to miss it if I can possibly help it. No no no, I need people time. I have a ride in place, hopefully, soooooo...*fingers crossed* There's going to be a some sort of information sharing and a show and tell.
3. Did I mention it's called a GUILD? *squees a bit*
4. Started playing Animal Crossing: City Folk (the Wii version again and now my animals don't hate me anymore, I fixed my bedhead, got rid of *most* of the weeds, and I'm generally having fun timez. Just need someone to play with...*hint hint*
5. I started knitting a Wingspan shawl with my handspun yarn and though I was afraid I'd need to pull back, in the end I didn't have to. I am going to blog more fully about it and what handspun/dyes I am using on roguecrafter , but here's a sneak peak of progress thus far:
   
6.  Partner is making Good Progress with job hunting, and despite not finding the Right Job yet she has had positive nibbles/bites. (She also reminded me that standard job hunt takes 6 months and she is nowhere near that yet, which is a good reminder.)
7. Partner made some improvements to the trike and it has a better turning radius. Also the other day we rode in the rain and it was SO MUCH FUN. First time ever. Also I rode on a real road in the rain.
8. Cold non-alcoholic beverages. These are goood.
9. Finished Pandora the Spinning Wheel's wood worm treatment, and she is now safely inside away from the humidity &tc.
10. I chatted with folks on Ravelry Forums about Pandora and they suggested some things to help, and she is apparently in really good condition considering, a "good find", and also with their help the fly wheel can now turn the fly whorl and the bobbin. So far no yarn because the flyer hooks are pretty worn and also I don't know how to set up the beginning of the spinning yet (and I learned my maximum amount of new things yesterday to try.) But anyway, if the above didn't make sense, you can see a 30 second video of what she does so far now over on the Tubes of You. (More detailed blog post about this also planned on roguecrafter but I'm only human and trying to space them out *g*.)

I was still giddy 10 hours later from that conversation. Badly sorely desperately needed for me as well. To discover that you are actually local is amazing for me, I can't even begin to tell you. It's enormously freeing to be able to fully geek out about everything and not have to hide parts of myself. <3 <3

Whee! I haven't had a chance to get together with jelazakazone but send you both my love!

That wingspan scarf is seriously gorgeous!

I must go to bed now, but wanted to squee with you for a moment. :D

[jelazakazone]

I should totally put my computer away and go to bed, but I just wanted to pop by and say we talked about that idea. We will definitely have to get together, all three of us, sometime! September is possible, but October is probably even better. *facepalm* Unless something happens in the next few weeks, which doesn't seem likely.

[alee_grrl]

I can completely understand. August is a very busy month for me and mine too. We'll be spending a couple of weeks late August in Vermont, and then it's back to school/work for all of us in early September. October would probably be best for me too. :)

[jelazakazone]

Sounds excellent!

I love conversations like #1. Making new connections is amazing.

[untonuggan]

Isn't it just? So wonderful!

Ooh - also good to see the wingspan in progress - my mind was boggling at the descriptions - couldn't picture how it worked.

Looking forward to seeing the finished work in due time.

^____^ Thank you!

It's getting there! *chugs along*
