I finally finished my boring essay, and celebrated with traditional sucking up to partner with Indonesian sweets and European beers, then we all got The Cold.
Blergh.
I am therefore spending the day that I’ve been looking forward to for weeks not doing any of the things I planned on. The kid is at childcare, I am in my trackies, I am knitting and watching stuff on youtube. And blowing my nose. I’m doing a lot of that.
I can now tell you with some confidence that there are a lot of Americans interested in making stuff out of their currency. I’ve also got tips on knitting continental style, which I should implement so that I don’t get RSI from knitting one way all the time.
The vest continues fine. Ish. I’ve made a few errors I don’t think I can be bothered fixing. My child will be amateurishly clothed, but warm.

Well it’s autumn, but I’m assuming you haven’t had any sleep for a week or so, and will let you off!

Props to you for managing to finish your long boring essay before getting The Cold. Because writing long boring essays while sick and sleepy is not good at all.

suse, probably some denial of imminent birthday type thing making me extend autumn an extra week.
radicalmama, that turn of phrase made me think of ‘passed over to the other side’, which seems a bit drastic.
Helen, I was pretty relieved about that, although everyone else being sick while I was writing the essay didn’t exactly help matters.
