Hot and stuff.

It's been downright hot today. I drove the boys down to see their grandpa with Dave for the night, and finally I have 24 hours alone. This will be the 1st time I've had 24 hours alone in well over a year. Now I have so much to do with my time, I'm feeling overwhelmed by all I need to do.

I started out knitting. I'm working on Obstacles again, and today I'm wondering why since I'm using a wonderful Briar Rose Legend yarn because it is, after all, a warm shawl. Here's a view so far:

It's not like I don't have warmer weather things in my queue though. I have so much stuff in my queue it's ridiculous. The thing that's annoying me right now is the amount of unfinished work I have everywhere I look. Unlike my mother, I have a limit to what I can tolerate in the mess and unfinished stuff department.

This alone thing is freaking Boris out. He's following me everywhere and whining just a bit too much for my taste. I want to relax but something about a stressed-out Saint Bernard following a person around makes relaxing just a bit out of reach.

Okay so far I've:
1. painted a second coat on a wall that needed it in the bathroom.
2. Framed a print I have had waiting for that for a couple of months. Doesn't look so good but at least it's done.
3. Knit.

Still have to:
1. Work on learning some software some more.
2. Dust the mini blinds.
3. Clean the toilet.

I know how to live it up when I'm alone, don't I?

Here are some garden photos to add some cheer:
