IHSW Weekend


Earlier this week, after seeing the temps for the week (our highs are lower than our historic lows?!) and dealing with the ice and driving in and out of work ("adverse weather" ugh), I declared I would not leave the house for the weekend.

Which works out rather nicely as it's the third weekend for the month and there fore IHSW weekend.   Add an annoying bonus cold (?what? why?!), and I definitely don't want to be around too many people.

My goals plans (other than to clean out a bunch of stuff from downstairs in prep for redoing the floors) are pretty simple:   
  • get caught up on the CloudsFactory Zodiac mystery (so finish the frame after frogging the two circles that are incorrectly placed, got it on Wed, woot!) and stitch up Aquarius and Capricorn
  • design/stitch my bands for the RR
  • Get more done on either FS or ES
Plans, schmlans.   I keep making these goals and disregarding it - the FS "race" (I still have a month!), and others.  I'm just a stitcher who shouldn't try as hard to regulate what I think I want to stitch and just roll with my screaming rotation.

I have been binge watching DS9.  I watched it when it first came out, but never when it was being repeated/in syndication like I did TNG, so most of the episodes are "new" to me again and fun.  I am halfway through season 3.    These episodes are so short (even for network TV) that I'm plowing through them pretty quickly, so I'll probably keep that up as I'm buried under blankets, forcing myself to believe it's not winter.

  1. I totally agree with not leaving the house. I have no need to venture out into this horrendous cold. I'm not one for plans, I just pick whichever WIP is screaming the loudest at the moment. They're all fun and any progress (on any of them) is fantastic in my book. :-)

    1. Such a positive to remember that all progress is good. Sometimes I get cranky with myself, and I know it's just a hobby, I shouldn't :)

    1. Very nice! I"m halfway through DS9's S4 right now. I made my friend watch the Animated Series with me recently, and I just finished the Original Series with OH. I want to start watching TNG with him, and I know he never liked DS9, so I figured it was "safe" :)

  5. I did all my errand running yesterday. We're in for another bout of wintery weather and I decided the cold was preferable to sleet and freezing rain. Hope you're feeling better soon and enjoy your weekend in.

    1. Thanks! And because Sunday decided to be in the 50s and relatively nice (no sun, but no rain, either), we did some errands (mostly getting the flooring into the house). I can't believe even with the "nice" weather (I only had a Tshirt on), that there's still ice everywhere.

  7. Stay warm! Of course, you can always visit somewhere it's *always* above zero....and rarely below freezing ;)

    1. I need to just move somewhere where it's rarely below freezing. I need to transplant my East Coast friends with me ;)
