verbminxThe mom came home early, bearing food from Boston Market, which turned out to be strangely... cold, when it arrived. I didn't eat all of it, but so far I haven't had food poisoning yet. Knock wood. There was something I'd been planning to say here before she got home, but I was sidetracked and now I can't remember what it was.
After eating, I remembered to take my vitamins. This is a major victory, as I often forget... I have remembered for the past four nights, now, I think. I also drank a cup of cocoa spice tea (which has ginger in it) to help with digestion, and so far it all seems to be working. Not feeling as crampy as I was earlier, either.
Spent the rest of the evening knitting. I knitted a gauge swatch and then pulled it out; then I cast on a full needle of stitches and started a scarf, but I dropped a few stitches near the beginning of the fourth row, and decided to pull everything out and start over. That's where I quit. It's going well, actually (it would be better if I hadn't pulled out everything I did, but what I mean is that I am getting a feel for the mechanics of the process).
My ambition for tomorrow is to get a few inches into my scarf. When I'm up north, I'm going to be showing Autumn the basics, which will also be really good practice (at least as long as I learn to purl and therefore do stockinette stitch before I go... right now all I know is garter stitch).
Ho-hum. Not much to write home about, I guess. I have to remember that even little accomplishments are something, that I can still be proud of myself for success when it involves small things and not things that involve my name being in the paper and/or a program and/or the acknowledgements of a book.
A couple of LJ-notes: I'm really happy that the feministas community is finally taking off and people are posting to it and discussing things... intelligently, no less. I know I need to post a "get organized" project to that community, but I have to gather resources before I do that, and I just haven't had the time and inclination at the same time. & a friends-only post is coming soon, too.
