The Cats and I Feel Cranky

It's one AM and I just woke up after falling asleep sitting here catching up on my blog reading. I'm not caught up.

I finished knitting the eyelet ridge stitch shoulder shawl. Actually, I finished Sunday night, but I haven't blocked it yet. I haven't worked on either of the other two shawls that I wanted to finish this week.

I did no knitting yesterday. I aslo didn't post on this blog. I did finally get to the vet to buy more of the special dry food my allergic cats can eat. They won't tolerate more than two days without both wet and dry food. Yesterday made for day three and cranky cats.

Today I knit four rows on the body of my cardigan. They are longish rows, as the body is one piece at this point in my top-down sweater, but that's still less than a TV show of stockinette on US7s.

I didn't sew in the ends on my Afghans for Afghans hat, though I've had it out to do so all day. I have only four ends to sew. Otherwise it's been finished for a week.

I just checked Ravelry and the stats show only 514 people ahead of me, which means I'm likely to get my invite tomorrow or the next day at the rate they're moving the last week. I've done none of the photographs I thought I still had a couple of months to work on. Nor have I figured out Flickr.

I got my invitiation to another site two days ago and finally got there today. I did leave a comment.

I'm so behind on my life right now. But, hey, I got in a workout for the first time in like two months, maybe three. And I did some writing I didn't expect to get to until Thursday.

I didn't expect to get to the writing because I needed to work on this knitting today. Which I didn't.

But at least now I'm wide awake to block the shawl. Maybe.

If I don't get more sleep tonight than blocking would leave time for, I'll feel like a wreck tomorrow and I have a full day. The full day includes knitting circle, but I'm not to the point I need to reach on my sweater for circle to benefit me, so may need to skip this week. That means I'd skip seeing people I only see there.

None of this results in blog photos -- or world peace. Writing it took an hour of pecking while I knit two more rows on my cardigan. And while I decided to go to bed now, skip circle tomorrow to block and knit, and to take a bus to my cross-town meeting so I can knit rather than fight late rush hour traffic.

But not to knit on the shawls on the bus as those both involve beads. Even in a good week I don't knit with beads on a bus during rush hour.

If you did, I would wonder about your soundness of mind. :o)
