which_chickDinner today was more potato soup (which I made before going out on the grand weekend outing). I've got enough for lunch tomorrow and then another helping for either a dinner (but not tomorrow) or a lunch. I've finished up the Sour Beef With Peppers and Garlic, so that's done. I'll need to make something with cauliflower this week because I have an aging cauliflower in the fridge that needs to be used up.
The GWO went well and I had a good time. I was able to get a lot of spinning done, which was good. I also let NYR play with the spinning tools and she appeared to have a good time with that and it amused the hell out of me. We watched Shawn of the Dead, which was kind of fun, and I got home on Sunday in time for horse events if I'd really wanted to go out in the pouring rain to ride the pony. I opted out of horse events due to the inclement weather.
I painted at work today -- I like painting -- and tomorrow I'll be in the office all day b/c M has to go to the allergy doctor in Altoona for allergy testing or something. Wednesday, Dad gets back from Mexico and Grandma goes to the eye doctor. Thursday is the Pittsburgh seminar on evicting people (so I need to reschedule horse thing if it is going to conflict).
Spin/knit progress is moving along. I've cast on for the first mom mitten and have the pattern memorized (and also written down). I have a test skein of 3-ply handspun yarn (80 yds) that I need to swatch and see if I like or not. I have fiber that needs to be carded, fiber that needs to be spun, a baby hat that needs to be re-cast-on (miscounted or mismeasured on the first go-round)... lots of options on the handwork front. Tonight's viewing option will be The Wire: Season of Baltimore Schools. (I've been unhappy with The Wire since they killed my boy. Honestly. Stringer Bell was my boy. How could they kill my boy, yo!) It's on loan from mom, then I have to hand it over to Ede's oldest daughter to watch.
Roy and Sarah are planning to be in the area (staying with her mother) from about Dec. 19 to some time after Xmas. I mentioned to Roy that the Joe cohort would probably be out the weekend after Xmas (This being the information I'd gotten from Joe a few nights prior on the phone when he told me he wanted a table saw) but in reality Joe and company will probably be out 12-21 thru 12-23/24, according to Stacey. I still have no idea of the total number of people we are expecting for xmas and thus cannot yet purchase a turkey.
Aunt Linda's lumpectomy came back (two days earlier than they claimed they could have any results) as breast cancer. This will be Linda's third cancer -- she's done thyroid and colon already and I really feel she's done her time on the cancer front. I can't see why it's her turn again. Her doc took the opportunity (while breaking the "it's cancer" news) to inform her that her cholesterol numbers were really good, which is a bit like telling you that the napkins are really nicely folded on the centers of the dinner plates in the First Class Dining Room on the Titanic, along about dinnertime on April 14, 1912. Anyway, I don't know any more than that much, this was breaking news.
