Randomness

...because I'm being slothful on my last day off....

First, ganked off Lifehacker...print-your-own calender/notepaper. (If I get the greenhouse job, this might come in handy. Cheaper than buying dayplanners, anyway.)

Second, I am more than mildly vexed at KSU. They HAVE to have my signature to release my transcript, so they won't allow a phone request for a transcript. Which means that doesn't go out until tomorrow. Which means that my job app won't be complete until Friday at the earliest. *sigh*

Third, knitting! (Because I'm too lazy to make a separate post today.) I'm about a foot into Hello Yarn's Besotted Scarf, in a dark blue wool, for By. (Not that he *needs* another scarf, but it's such a nice cable, and I'd got the yarn specificly for somethign for him.) I finished the Ene scarf Monday afternoon. It's HUGE. The original scarf, in a lace gauge, was a triangle about 42" wide on the long side. Mine, in the equivalent of worsted weight and on #11's, is...well...my tape measure doesn't go that big. I'm guessing, from how much hangs off the ends of my arms, that it's got a 7-8 foot wingspan. Oops. That would explain why it used up so much yarn. It's awfully nice though. Am making progress on the baby knitting, but I've got two months on those. Still holding on T's kilt hose. I can't make more progress on that until slide the socks onto his feet and check for fit again.

Fourth, the rest of the day: I PLAN to make progress on putting things away in the bedroom, so we can start some of the rearranging necessary for eventual remodelling. No guarantees.

Hey, sorry to bug, but I've seen Byron a couple of emails and I haven't received a reply. Is that email still working?

No, it's ok, that's part of the job description of "wife". Lemme go look....

Hmmm. I see your emails in Eudora, and the little "replied to symbol"....Oh. And five entries above that, returned mail. Vexing. Says that delivery failed three times. I'll try resending it, let me know if it comes through.

(For what it's worth, I know he was casting waxes last night. Or trying to..the wax wasn't cooperating.)

hmmm, still don't have it. Maybe it's my email if it isn't going through. Could you try sending it to jettisonangel@yahoo.com or just tell me what it says? You're a doll! Thanks babe.

Just sent the email to the yahoo addy. I'm guessing there's something weird with hotmail, it's returned it twice now. But just in case yahoo spits it back, too, here it is again:

Sorry I didn't reply to your last email. Yes it did come through but I got
busy. Yeah I know that same old broken record. I will bring the wax to
the next HSA meeting with me for you to try on. From there we will take
the quick step over to it being metal and finished up.
