So over the past two days, I was supposed to get lots and lots of the BGWA done. And did I?
Nope. Couple inches, maybe. If that.
I ended up having to go to a funeral in Coney Island on Wednesday (family friend's mother), which turned into an all day ordeal, what with going to Long Island for the burial, then back to Bensonhurst for the post-burial open house (complete with overheated apartment and lack of sufficient food or drink), followed by dinner in the City with aforementioned family friends. Which put me back at my place after 10:45pm or so, when you account for the fact that I hung out for a bit to watch the lunar eclipse.
And given how much wine had been consumed with dinner, I wasn't about to start knitting.
Today, then, I woke up and thought about knitting, but I sat down in front of the computer and couldn't muster the energy needed to move my lazy ass to the knitting end of the sofa. I did a little bit of housecleaning, registered for my 10 year college reunion, ran a couple errands, had dinner, and finally started to knit around 8:30pm this evening. I finished the garter band and 12 pattern rows, but that's nowhere near enough. I still have something like 88 rows left. Then finishing and fringing. Not gonna be done anywhere near on time. Well, they'll still like it when they get it.
