So, how did I spend the busy week? I sent out the requisite resumes/applications. I actually received an offer! However, I did have to turn it down. It isn't a full time position, it would be one 40 hour week, and the rest of the month would be 24 hours per week. It's also a commute, which means that my gas expenses would be increased, and the winter would bring with it our treacherous Tulle fog, which I do not enjoy navigating. I did the computations, and I would actually make less then I currently do on Unemployment. The positive side of it all is that "HEY! Someone wants me!"
I took care of some of the projects around the house that needed doing. I got our carbon monoxide detectors up, and contacted my insurance agent, so that will result in a discount on my homeowner's insurance. I figured out that the garbage disposal is close to 30 years old, and the part that I need to repair it is no longer available. I will have to purchase a new one and install it. I got some of the saplings that had appeared cut down, and the young roots removed.
On the knitting front, I've been equally busy. I finished this pair of socks, and darn it, I can't remember which pattern I used. Anyway, here they are:
I'm still working on Chris' birthday socks. Thank goodness I have almost a month to get them done. Colorwork seems to take so much longer. I like the way they're turning out, and I know Chris will love them.
And last but not least, I'm finishing up this sweater for my Etsy site (which, by the way, I fixed the link to on my blog). I like this pattern, and once I get the smocking done and pick out buttons, I think it will be quite charming.
I'm hoping the new week will bring a little more time for knitting and a little less time spent on house projects
