The bachelor life
Peter's away with his kids for the weekend, which means I pretty much spend every night sitting on my arse in front of the computer with my knitting and my Irish Breakfast tea. Because he's not here, there's no motivation for me to make a real meal: last night I ate a whole pound of tofu for supper, baked in the oven in a really tasty marinade. Usually I crumble it into a salad with quinoa, but last night I couldn't be bothered. I just wanted to get back on the heating pad; I've got this pain in my back and I'm not sure if it's from modelling two days in a row or this cotton pony I've been riding, but it's interfering with my knitting so it has to go.
It's so bright outside right now, I wish I didn't have to leave for work in ten minutes. I'd rather sit here and drink tea all day than blow up balloons. These March mornings are my favourite mornings of the year; it's so much easier to get out of bed early when for the first time in months the sun is up with you. I have this glorious feeling that I'm snatching extra time from the day, extra sunny morning hours to spend doing something other than lying in bed wishing it wasn't so damned cold. Then the clocks change and everything is ruined, and I go back to my slothful ways. Before I went back to school I used to have time to do things in the mornings, and I can remember once putting up a batch of pickles before walking to work to open the store up at ten a.m. Those days are gone.
The Girl from Auntie funnel top is nearing completion, and I'll have a picture for you tomorrow. It would have been finished already but I miscounted a row down near the bottom and had to frog about eight inches. I'll also have some exciting news tomorrow, but there's no time to write about it now--I'm about to miss my bus.

I know what you mean about the sun. We're at about 54 degrees latitude, and it makes such a difference from when I lived at 53 and 51. I know, it's geeky. But we get way more sunlight hours in the summer, and way less in the winter. Which means, for me, that I get way more done in the summer than in the winter. At least that's my excuse for not finishing all the projects I want to. . .
Anyway, enjoy your time alone!
