Going Mad…
Don’t get me wrong. I love my husband. But these long weekends can get to me if we don’t have things planned. Today, he’s recording a score for a movie he wrote, directed and filmed almost a year ago. I cannot find any place in the house where I don’t hear drums beating. I love drums, but hearing a single drum line at a time is repetitive and dull and gets annoying after a very short while.
So, I decided I would head out and run a couple errands that prefer to do sans DH anyway. However, my &@*# of a car won’t start. I’m pretty sure it’s the starter that is shot as the radio, fan and wipers all work and it doesn’t sound like the car even tries to turn over. However, it’s Labor Day which means there is no getting it to a mechanic. And, well, DH is a little over protective of his 1998 vehicle and has only allowed me to drive once in our going on 6 years together and that was only because if he didn’t let me drive it was serious going to impede his having fun.
So, my next plan of attack was to sit outside and knit. However, a nice thundershower decided to move. So, I just sat outside meditating to the sound of rain drops. Half wishing it would rain a little harder so it would drown out the sound of drumming. However, once it did I was soaked all the way through my clothes and was getting cold.
So, now I’m back to hiding in the basement and wishing DH would wake up out of his little music world so I can let him know about the car problem. However, I can stand at the studio door for 5 minutes and he takes no notice…
But, there has been a little more progress on Leaf Lace (I’ve done 5.5 repeats of chart 2 - only 9.5 to go) and I’m about 1/2 way through the bottom ribbing on the Wear-Everywhere Pullover. However, that requires some self-control as if I knit more than 4 rounds my hands will start hurting. So, it’s only one pattern repeat per sitting and each sitting must be at least 2 hours apart. That begs the question of what to bring on the road trip to IA later in the week. . .
