Day 4. I skipped one.
Yesterday didn't seem to be long enough for me to take a picture. Today I'm back to baking - making pumpkin puree to be used in this recipe, but I'll be making muffins instead of loaves. Even though I didn't ask for a Christmas miracle this year, I ended up with Christmas Eve off as well as Christmas and Boxing Day.

Day 4 - Knitting in the break room
Definitely not the same as smoking in the boys' room. I wouldn't be doing that, anyway. I still haven't scraped up the courage to take any photos in the store itself, but that's going to be hard anyway, since I can't carry a purse or bag around with me while I'm working. There was one other person in the break room when I took this, but she was paying more attention to her phone, so I don't even think she saw me.

7 Days - Day 4: That's what I get
For following directions. It's a good thing I don't mind cranberry sauce with my turkey dinners, because this stuff oozed all over the peas and potatoes. Did it touch the turkey? NO. Whatever. Just a quick 'oh-no-I-forgot-to-take-a-picture-today' shot at 11:54pm.

7 Days, Day 4
Waiting for an appointment. I haven't made a pair of socks in about a year, I think. My portable projects are all dishcloths now. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. I didn't take a picture yesterday, so this is my catch-up. No big whoop.

Day 4: a rousing game of KILL-IT
Packet likes when I tap my fingers on this chair because it makes very interesting tappity noises. And just to prove that she's smarter than I give her credit for, she knows to keep her claws *in* when she bats at my hand, otherwise I'll stop playing.

7Days.4 - Arrrgh.
Something I did yesterday tweaked my back. Maybe carrying Cy (who is a nice, heavy steel hybrid, not aluminum) up the stairs, maybe the bad angle at which I lifted him to spin his wheels a little while I was wiping him down, maybe I did it when I was filling his tires. I truly hope it was one of those and NOT the actual riding of the bike that did it. So today, instead of having a nice bike ride, I stayed in, turned on the heating pad, and threw painkillers at myself. It's late afternoon, and that seems to have done the trick; it's too late to enjoy a ride now, though, because of those swarms of no-see-ums. I hate picking those little f*ckers out of my teeth.
Anyway, this is still a picture of progress! During the Fall 2009 run of 7 Days, I tried to sprawl on the floor like this with my yarn and ended up in a LOT of pain. This time around, the offending ovarian cyst is absent, and I was able to pop right back up. Tomorrow, the back and I will try taking Cy out.

7 Days, Day 4 - PLAY.
I've been distracted and maybe lazy regarding this run of 7 Days, so I missed Day 3. Last night, Packet reminded me that playing is good for the soul. Well, for hers. And only if I'm doing it right. Which means, 'Quit taking pictures and make the string move!'

7 Days - Day 4 (Progress)
It's not a sweater yet, but it will be. I'm spinning the wool on the right into the yarn on the left. By hand, because I believe that spinning wheels are overpriced unless they're given to me as gifts. Near the top of the basket, you can see the spindle I'm using. I've been doing this for a little over a year, off and on, with several long breaks. The finished sweater will go to my mom.

7 Days, day 4 - cat shelf
Today's big excitement (for me, anyway; hopefully for Packet) was the installation of a cat shelf to expand the windowsill in the bedroom. Darren's dad is a building manager for a local company, so he was able to donate a partial roll of grippy tape so that Packet doesn't jump up there and slide off the other side.

Day 4, Group photo
It's hard to get the dogs to point in the same direction at the same time.
