So I'm sick again* (when am I not) and I can'tfucking SLEEP because I'm lying down and all I can do is cough up my organs and it's so loud and awful I am sure I must be keeping people awake. So I have been lying in bed rolling around coughing since like 12:30 and I finally just GAVE UP and got out of bed to get some hot cider and sit at my computer like a sad lonely person and I'm standing there in the kitchen and it just starts POURING OUT. Like the sky opens up.
Like, wtf, that was kinda awesome. It's seriously coming down. It wasn't even cloudy or anything today. In fact I would classify the day's weather as "nice."
God well as long as I am up at 3 am ruining my sleep schedule that I have kept mostly on target despite the fact that I've been on vacation let's have some pictures shall we.
Here's my room, we finished painting it. It is turquoise as hell and it's really excellent. It's so bright and happy during the daytime. This house has always seemed dark to me, but that's largely a result of the long time off-white wall color, apparently. I moved my bed in there but that's about it so far.
And here's a close up of my second weaving project from class (you can see a wider shot on my flickr page, but it honestly isn't a thrilling photo. I'll have to figure out how to take better pictures of it after I hem it and stuff.) It was supposed to be a shawl but it's kind of an awkward size or something so who knows, but it is made of all handspun yarn, and it's done, so yay there.
Oh, and an update on my poor smashed finger. I smashed that finger so bad, people, that it didn't stop bleeding for several days. I haven't been able to knit or spin on spindles since then. Anyway, I'll spare you the graphic description of my smashed finger, but suffice to say it's rendered my left hand pretty sad and useless, and the fact that I've been sick (despite the fact that I didn't want to ADMIT that I was actually "pretty sick" and didn't just "have a scratchy throat*") meant that when I tried to draw it looked like I was losing my mind, that narrowed my possible activities this week down to two activities.
1. Cleaning up the house and that kind of crap, which only had so much energy for and
2. spinning yarn on the spinning wheel.
Oh wait, I thought of a third
3. Crochet. HA HA YEAH RIGHT.
I have spun so much yarn in the last few days, people. Considering I'm a pretty slow spinner and all. I plied a giant skein of white yarn that I haven't had the gumption to skein up (I hate making yarn into skeins, it is a very boring activity), 4 oz. of sparkly orange and pink yarn (yes....it has sparkles in it. More on that when I have pictures**), 4 oz. of brown alpaca singles (just finished that today so it needs to sit before I ply it. Also I didn't feel like plying) and I'm halfway through 4 more oz. of blue and green wool. I'll probably finish spinning that tomorrow and then WHO KNOWS!! I'm getting tired just thinking about all this. God, why am I awake.
Well, in the time it took me to write this post that freak rainstorm let up. At least I got to enjoy it. I took some cough syrup and drank my hot cider, maybe I'll be able to get back to sleep.
* Or, as my mom said once, a "thratchy scrote"
** I forgot, I took a picture of one of the batts, so here's a dramatically photographed, sparkly preview.
It's like the surface of a magical wooly planet.![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
