New Yarn

Yesterday I walked to the post office to pick up my new yarn. It was a little further than I had bothered to notice. It took me about an hour to complete the trip. I got some Wool of the Andes, which is a great bargain, for fingerless gloves for pater fraterque. I just wish it came in larger balls. Some Alpaca for mom's socks, and some merino to (possibly) remake Jon's hat. We'll see whether he can deal with its' current hugeness.

Jamie and I broke out the traditional Halloween costumes (puffin and gentoo penguin) to amuse our friends. Jennie thought we were adorable. Got some candy out of it, too. The Bittens gave me a piece of bacon. That's the strangest Halloween treat I've ever gotten.

I Went into town to get insulin for Cat. Walked all the way back to North Amherst, which is about 2.5 miles. I caught the bus the rest of the way home. I've had a headache all day, even a nap didn't help. I was sleeping peacefully when the power went out, causing the subwoofer to make a loud noise. So much for naps.

Got a call from the Dean of Faculty at Willison this morning. She wants me to come in for a second interview this Friday. This is a good sign, right? I'd really like that job, it seems like such a nice environment.

Time to see if the cable's back on.
