i'm not so tired this morning, woke early, ate oatmeal, and am thinking about the work week, which was hard work, no creative energy at all. but hannah came home!

and our building IS being "cleaned" by the "exterminators". how did the week go? wednesday i was ready to quit, to abandon ship, to crawl into a hole and stop up the entry. but thursday was better, friday we managed. wednesday also brought my period, and for this 54 year old woman "working" with 10 e.d. teens in a very noisy and public building that isn't their school...well, it's over. we have school monday and tuesday, skating and lunch out, and a kick back day with a movie. we'll see....

hannah is knitting a thong for a friend for christmas.

out of bamboo yarn i gave her.

well. of course!

my hosta pulp is waiting for me to beat it and pull sheets. maybe today? on my table is a large skein of thin linen that i am thinking of warping the little floor loom with. i don't know if i have enough heddles for that, but we'll see. ian called after work and with a working-all-week-in-a-foundry-tired voice told me he liked the book. (yay, usps, it got there in half the predicted time) when i told him to work in it-draw and paint and whatever-his voice lightened, and sounded happy.
