February drags on

Good lord, this week at work lasted forever, even though it was only four days long. Cold, snow, Bookmobile having issues and being off the road, general malaise and crankiness. People (including me) not finishing things they should have. Snowy roads, grey skies, and more cold.

This morning, it was -33C. Before the windchill. It's almost MARCH. The only up side is that we saw the sun, with that particular, super clear-edged, brilliant deep blue sky that you only get with deep-freeze levels of cold. It's warming up some over the next week, but NOT ENOUGH LET ME TELL YOU.

I think I am going to go into work for the afternoon tomorrow just to play catch-up. Sigh.

It can't all be that bad though, because I have successfully knit almost all of a sock. Just the toe left to go! (Here it is last weekend, after the heel but before most of the foot.) The real trick will be to know make a second sock that matches.

(Um. I appear to have discovered a hitherto unexpected love of knitting. And SOCKS. Sock yarn comes in SO MANY STRIPEY COLOURS. (And yes, I am compulsively on Ravelry! And I want to make fingerless mitts, yes I do.)

But really? I want spring! And crocuses and lilies and tulips. And sun and green growing things. There are three wee primula plants sitting on the kitchen windowsill that were an impulse buy at the grocery store tonight, two yellow and one burgundy.

I just hope they (and the rest of us) make it to springtime.

Hee! I have been told that if I can do mitten thumbs, I can do toe socks, since the toes are really just a lot of thumbs. But I don't actually like toe socks, so.

Glad to see you back on LJ! *hugs*
