neadodsAll the garden stuff is off the must-do list, YAAAAY! (Well, all but about 4 hour's work.) Have taken clearing the library off the list of things to do because the whole point of the Sunday Seven is to clean/clear out every room. Just because the library's the most cluttered is no reason to single it out.
Arm status: Not as healed as I hoped it would be, but I don't need painkillers and I can knit. These are the most important things. Now I have to figure out *what* to knit, as the yarn that was to be the centerpiece of the next project turns out to be a major bitch to work with. A bear to untangle and often knotted in the skein (one skein had to be cut into 5 smaller bits just to ball properly) and ugly on the needles. There's too much to abandon, and it was too much of a pain in the patoot to consider buying more for the original project. I've got until the weekend to work it out, as that was to be my travelling project for Malice.
As part of trying to eat healthier, I'm trying to shift most of the sweets I eat to arguably healthier ones... fruit, fruit crumbles, honey on multi-grain bread, etc. I realize that this puts peanut butter cups into the "arguably healthy" range (all that protein, don'tchaknow) but surely if I eat more sweet rice it's better for me than noshing nothing but ice cream all summer long.
Still flunking at finding time to exercise.
