long time no see
Jan. 13th, 2024 01:22 pmafter a quiet holiday & and insanely UNquiet return to work I think things are finally beginning to return to a kind of normal.... My inbox as of Thursday was pretty reasonable, and I only have a couple of things I had to leave neglected to work on others instead of an entire handful of things. We really only just today got the apartment back in order, all the christmas stuff put away and cleaned everything.
I took Friday off since my birthday is on a Wednesday next week & I didn't want to take off in the middle of the week. Monday's a holiday, so I just gave myself a nice long weekend and two 4 day weeks in a row instead, it's been SO nice.
33 next week! I feel no particular way about it, but it is weird. It's weird to get into ages I remember my parents being, and like ages where, when they were 33, I was a teenager. My older sister was practically done with high school! They were maniacs having kids as young as they did lmao.
School started back up. I only have on class this semester and I'm feeling mixed about it. I don't think it will be very hard, it's about 50/50 grad and undergrad classmates, and the syllabus looks more or less similar to the stuff I was doing last semester. On the other hand, the pace feels a bit slow and there's no homework and I know that if I allow myself to lull into any kind of boredom it's a very slippery slope. If it's too unchallenging I'll get so bored.
This week I finished the Summer 2022 quilt-along from that local(ish) quilt store lol. Well.... I lost the final page of instructions on putting it all together so I didn't do anything fancy and just sewed the squares as they were. It looks kinda wacky, color wise, and it's kind of small. I sandwiched it up and I'm gonna do the quilting and just leave it quite small. Maybe I'll leave it around for fennec to lay on.
