Finally, finally

I finished Kyoto last night, and I’m really happy with it. I think I’ll wear it a lot. If Billy makes it home while the sun is still shining, I’ll have him snap some pictures of me in it. (He’s running around treating patients today, the poor guy. Yes, physical therapists do make house calls.) I want to make sure the colors really come out well, so I want to take the photos outside. And it’s GORGEOUS out there today! Actual spring weather. I’ll also have to make sure to get some pictures of our daffodils for you. I’ll post those tomorrow with or without Kyoto.

I’ve got a ton of reading to do this weekend and this week (the usual 250 pages of Proust by Tuesday plus the 563-page Fiesta del chivo) so I really should be doing nothing but sitting on my butt and reading…. however…fishing around in the stash for some mindless spring knitting (Rosedale is off to the side for the moment, as I’ve got spring on my mind) I found that I have several projects I could start but somehow don’t have the needles for any of them. Now, I’ve got a decent Addi collection, and usually have exactly what I need at hand. But of course these three projects call for the two needle sizes I don’t have: five and ten. So here’s the dilemma…do I put down the reading to run to the LYS (which ain’t so local, really, as I’d be away from my reading for probably an hour and a half to run this errand) to buy the needles so I can knit as I read, or do I just suck it up and accept that there will be no knitting today? I’m not sure yet. We’ll see how I feel after my shower. I’ve been awake for hours, but it’s one of those mornings when I just don’t want to change out of my pajamas.

So hopefully Kyoto and definitely daffodils tomorrow. (Or maybe it’s time I figured out the timer on my camera so I can take the photo myself?) (What’s with all these parentheses today?)
