Chugging along

I've been somewhat productive as of late:

• I'd photographed & cataloged my yarn stash so that I can (eventually) upload it to Ravelry
• I'm almost finished knitting a book bag for my nephew. I will be felting and then embellishing it. I think it will go to him as an Easter present since I didn't get it finished for Christmas!
• I've been studying for my TEAS test (Test of Essential Academic Skills) that is required as one of my nursing program applications
• We've joined the YMCA (and will be going tomorrow night after said TEAS test)

I'm very proud of myself considering that's taking into account the whole "working" thing as well.

What stinks about today is that I threw my sigg bottle in my bag, assuming the lid was on tight and assuming it was empty. It was neither of those things! All of it's contents are spread out on my office floor to dry, along with the bag. Sigh - way to start a Thursday!

I also cancelled my guitar classes. I've got the option to take them any time during the next year so it's like a pre-payment plan. I realized that I'm going to be coming up on a very busy two months before work settles down to nothing. It's not the best time to add a class to the mix. Every time I sat at the calendar to plan stuff out I kept butting up against the Thursday night class. If it was on a different day that may have worked. I'm able to schedule again for any of their next sessions (starting in April) so that should work out well. At least it was a good reason to get Matt's guitar out of storage and up on the stand!

Beginnings

Who doesn't start off their first ever blog in January with that title? As this is my first blog let me start by saying hello! I'm not sure what this will morph into yet but I'm starting it as a way to help me keep track of my thoughts & to share my life with family and friends. I presume it will take shape as it progresses and I apologize in advance if it meanders too far!

Right now the paramount things in my life are 1) getting into nursing school and 2) cutting back on my current job. I also love to knit, hike, play games, read, hang out with Matt and give some good lovin' to the kitties - Ella & Oscar.

Since I'm at work I should probably get back to it! Although I've been on hold with AT&T for probably the last 20 minutes so at least I'm getting something done! They're trying to fix a problem for me that seems to just get worse and worse - let's hope today is different!
