For Today

Today we need to run to town.  We need groceries in a bad way.

Today we’ll spend a lot of time finishing the transfer of the strawberry plants from their patch to the rows.  This could take me all day and I hate I have to take the time to go buy groceries.  We were thinking they’d go into 2 rows.  After the first row done a few weeks back, we’re thinking now at least 3 rows, possibly 4.  They really spread last year.  That 1 row we transplanted barely made a dent in the patch.

Today I got “The Ginger Cardigan” pattern back from my tech editor.  She had less fixes than I expected (although one big one I didn’t see coming.  An easy fix, though).  Anyway, I had set aside a week to go over her notes, and I’m thinking I can get that done tonight easily.  Then another night working on schematics, etc.  My magazine pattern is coming along ahead of schedule, so I feel go about pausing to finish the final touches of my self-published cardigan.  This one has been in the works for so long I’m giddy about it!

O, I’m supposed to do the yarn store newsletter today.  Shoot, I forgot.  (A few months back the local yarn store asked me to do their monthly newsletter.)  Well, the cardigan editing may be tomorrow then.

Today I need to find a spot for all the books coming in our house at an alarming rate.  The school books for next year are almost all here, and the bookshelves they go with are not done yet.  So until they are, I need to find a spot in my house where they are out of the way and out of toddler reach.  Almost every book so far is about Native Americans or the founding fathers.  It’s going to be a fun year.

Today I have no laundry to  fold in my house.  I did 7 loads yesterday, folded and put away.  I feels so happy whenever I walk past the “laundry couch” that we can actually sit on now.

Today every one of my kids woke up happy.  That rarely happens as Elias especially takes a long time to wake up.  They all slept in too.  Today is going to be a good day.
