Went home sick at 11 yesterday...allergies again. I'd been picking up a pile of crumbling mildewed fiberboard (which used to be three archery targets), and was a red itchy mess by the time it was all in the truck. Unloaded the truck, hurried home to a shower and Benadryl. Spent my afternoon and evening working on projects, trying to keep my hands busy so I wouldn't scratch myself to bits. Still somewhat itchy, and very snuffly today.
Did get all my music for tomorrow scanned, but I was too lazy to print it yesterday. I need to do that tonight. After a great deal of trying to make do, and being very frustrated, I finally found the right presser foot for the sewing machine, and got a carry-bag made for my recorders. Nothing fancy, it doesn't even all match (it's made out of upholstery fabric samples), but it ought to work for tomorow. Did a little knitting....five or six more pattern repeats on the Orenburg style scarf while I was waiting on the scanner, which puts that close to done. And I finished the first side's edging on the lily of the valley shawl, got that corner turned, stitches picked up along the side, and the second corner turned. Go me.
New Boss has already been here and picked up The Other Dave for a project (before 6:30, TOD was pissed about that). New Boss doesn't grasp the "savor the morning coffee" culture here. And neither The Other Dave nor myself are feeling well today...I'm still allergy-ridden, and he's messed up his wrists helping his dad lay hardwood flooring this week. And it's cold (37 degrees, last I checked). Silly boss, the grounds department doesn't work unless we have to when it's below 40. We didn't get the rain they'd predicted for yesterday afternoon, which will help the tree-planting today, but that also means I'll need to run out and water some new things on the tree trail. Eeek...wonder if the installers were planning on watering in the new trees? Don't think that was on the bid....gak. Must ask New Boss about that. Well, I may be watering trees this afternoon. Good thing I never cleaned out my purse (two sock yarns and a lucet project in there now).
