That's because school meetings start up 8/20 and that means . . . the end of the summer. As I typed that, I sighed this h-u-g-e sigh.
I love my job, (or should I say "jobS" since I also have dept. chair duties?), and I always look forward to getting another year going, meeting my new students. I like my colleagues and the daily interactions--we have a great campus, and a great middle school community. I've even been getting a little "wiggy" this summer, as my sister would say, being home so much and getting hermit-ty.
But ah, the free time. The long stretches of unscheduled time. The perpetual feeling of Saturday mornings, and never a Sunday-Syndrome day. (Do you get this too? During the school year, by midday Sunday, I start feeling a little sad about how it's all coming to an end, how I didn't finish x, y, and z that I had hoped to, etc.) And I love not wearing a watch.
Ah well. Enough belly-aching, as my dad would say.
It's taking up valuable knitting time!! Before I go though . . .
Here are some pics--a purse (the Sophie Bag I recently mentioned),
the freeform "bag" that told me it wanted to be a tea cozy when it grows up (so I felted it too, and now I can make it a tea cozy),
And the most recent WIP:
another Sophie Bag in a similar scheme with a few improvements (mine, not the pattern's!)--I learned some things after the first go-round
Here are the mostly-done baby booties (slippers, really, for my 21-month old niece).
