Red Pandas and Basketball

I have no clue as to what time I arose this morning. But it must have been right before 0400 as I distinctly remember writing down a number of stitches before the counter reset in PatternKeeper which is does at 0400/

Anyway – I made a serious dent in the remaining stitches on this – the 6th of 6 in Lindy Stitches Endangered Species.  I have made it to 71% which lets me feel like it may be finished in this lifetime… I finished the second leg on the Red Panda, all the lose and floating motifs and a chunk of log. A couple days of serious work could see it completed…..

About 1530 we headed into SF via BART to attend the Valkyries game. The Washington Mystics were in town. This is their fourth matchup this year – and the three previous were wins by the Valkyries. Tonight made it 4/4 for wins with a final score of 99-62. The score would have been higher if the coach hadn’t gone for giving a number of bench players significant amounts of court time.

I am tired and heading to bed. Would you believe that I am still awake at 2130?

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
