Yesterday, I got up the nerve to ask for applications audibly! And today Mom said it would be ok if neither my sister nor I got jobs! This is a major relief of stress. I'm still looking, but it's not a life or death thing anymore. Unfortunately, this is bad for the sweater. I started a fluffy lovely fuzzy purple sweater after we arrived in Sumter... it's how I deal with stres, I make a security blanket... Last time I went through a major stressful transition I made three afghans in three months... so I got through roughly a fourth of the sweater in three days... but now that the pressure's off, who knows how long the rest of it could take. Maybe it's just as well. I didn't have a pattern and was trying to base the shape off of a shirt I like, and knit is not the easiest thing to tell the shape of... especially when it's this loosely knit. In short, the front is horribly mishapen. It is either too short or too narrow, and the armholes aren't even. This didn't stop me from starting on the back which if it works out well, could be the front... flexibility, the key to winging it in sweater knitting...(*grins* you should see the first "sweater" I made. it really doesn't deserve the title.)
Today was good. Unpacked a couple boxes and sorted through the slightly intimidating box of miscelaneous papers including things I should have thrown away years ago... and things I want to hang onto forever. And I didn't find Godspell... but I did find two cds that I've been looking for for at least two months. Mom and I assembled the porch swing today. And tomorrow there will be banana bread. And tonight no one is on... so I'm going to go read.
