The scene: Sabine is sitting at her computer, going through promotional emails.

Sabine: Hm. Email from Lion Brand Yarn. Ooh! Their Outlander collection is out! 

Sabine crosses her fingers that not ALL the cute patterns are knit only and that they're showing crocheters some love.

Sabine opens the email and looks at the first row of pictures.

Sabine: Oh, COOL! There's a knit AND crochet version of each pattern! Woo!

Sabine gets to the second row of pictures.

Sabine: What. The. Actual. FUCK. Is. This. Bullshit?!? No. Just NO. Lion Brand, YOU HAVE FAILED ME FOR THE LAST TIME!! Why, WHY?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! I JUST...COME ON PEOPLE! You had ONE JOB. ONE!!

Sabine continues cursing and deletes the email.

End scene.

But what, you may ask, was so infuriating about the email. Well, here's the link to the collection. Go peruse it. http://lionbrand.com/outlander.html

Today from 8-5, I've had 30 minutes where I'm neither on the phone or physically in a meeting.

Tomorrow, I have meetings from 7-10 and then again from 1-4. From 4-5 I have an ice cream social.

No, I don't have a coffee pot in my office. Nor do I have any non-crunchy snacks.

Everything is terrible.




Except my nails. They're gorgeous.

so far

 So far today feels better. Everyone else is still sleeping in. The kids stayed up late - Ox wanted Swedish Chef videos and Emi wanted to watch more from Adam Savage's Maker channel. 

Today is a Sunday without the dread of work tomorrow. All I have to do tomorrow is take my car for a long-overdue oil change and go to dance. Everything else is negotiable.

Still sad, but willing to keep going. I need to do laundry and dye my hair. I want donuts. I have some plain knit fabric from JoAnn's that will become more comfy palazzo pants once I get it washed and cut.

For now, I will sit with my cup of Jiva and my light box and look for good things. Still sad, still would like to give up, but not going to. Not yet.

I got to work at quarter to seven this morning. I decided this entitled me to go get a fancy coffee a couple hours later. I decided to get the special. The special this month is Lavender Mocha. It's...weird. Will not buy again.

I'm leaving work at 3:30-ish today. I get to go get the final bit of my peacock tattoo colored in. I should be thrilled, but I'm just exhausted.

I only have one customer call today. This is good, as my customer service politeness reserves are dangerously low.

My eyelid is still twitching. Balls.

I organized some of my sewing table last night. I moved some patterns around and pinned together some quilt squares that were taking up space. I also had to get out the dustbuster to clean up the flying fuzz from the fabric. Ick.

Still conflicted about the workshop tomorrow. Only bit of conflicted about the show is whether I should wear a fluffy petticoat under my dress or not. I'm leaning toward not, since the seats and aisles are not that big.

Kids are still cute. Kids are still trouble. Kids are about to be sold to the gypsys. Kids don't understand why Momma is sad and grumpy and not a fan of being screamed at.

And my mouth still tastes like flowers and coffee. This is not good. Bleah.
