some number of things make a post

-- Thrud has expressed interest in trying to teach me to knit. She will be the fourth person to attempt it. Those of you who have a countdown on how long it has been since I drastically injured myself in the name of fiber arts should start paying attention. At least I am no longer trying to crochet, but I refuse, despite all evidence, to believe myself unable to knit. Maybe this time it will take! I am hoping to avoid permanent scarring this time, but past experience indicates that this hope is probably foolish.

-- This means that I spent much of the afternoon winding yarn from a skein into a ball while reading Berserk. Which seems appropriate.

-- Have started mailing books to the house in Texas. Also we have named the house in Texas: it is officially Ataraxia. Odd to think there's more than a year before I personally move, especially since we have also started talking about the gardening.

-- I have spent three weeks of the past month with one of two different nasty colds, and that can stop anytime. No, really, anytime. Or sooner.

-- Hopefully before a week from now, when gaudior and I will go to Australia for a week to meet B. That should be pretty awesome. I will write it up, as per usual; don't know if I'll have net access there.
