Okay, “Blah” would probably be a better title but then y’all wouldn’t want to read this, right? Roight. And, to tell the truth, there is an element of zizzywig underneath all the blah. I am facing my first week’s vacation in my new career next week and why the heck am I so apprehensive? I’m going to Fin Family Moominbeach, the absolute best vacation spot on earth in my not-so-humble opinion. But I am always like this before a vacation. As hot and swampy as it is here in the Landfill in the summer, when it is time to leave, I get this whole separation anxiety thing going. I *know* that as soon as I get on the freeway, or at least when I have hit the north-country again, I will be okay and I will start to relax. But now? It is six days before I leave town and I am a nervous wreck. I have the time to take next week off and I have even been granted the go-ahead to work remotely for some of the time so I don’t have to drain every hard-earned hour of vacation that I have as a new employee. My cute little first-born beach urchin is due in Thursday morning from San Francisco. How the heck did an old Michigan bag like me get to have a daughter in SF? Lots of people that I love will be up there and I know we will all be whoopin’ it up. And we will miss those who are not there. Jay and her family because they are too busy to head out here this summer. [Jim, Grandroobly, Don, and Katie. Sigh.] Uber Kayak Woman, who will be there briefly toward the end of the summer and by hook or by crook, I’ll meet her there. The next week will be okay. I will manage to leave the Landfill and I don’t even care what the weather is like up there. But I am still in a kind of blah state with zizzywig running through the background and I haven’t quite switched into glide yet. Somebody switch me, okay?

And that there picture is some sock yarn. I dredged that sock yarn out the other day and I couldn’t remember buying it so I wasn’t sure if it was mine or Mouse’s. It turns out that it is indeed mine. So now I have yet another unfinished (unstarted?) prodject to get going on.
