T – 9 Days

This afternoon a co-worker walked into my officed and looked at my white board asking where my count down was. I didn’t have one. So, he grabbed a pen and I now have a count down. I told he has to come back every day to updated it.

Not much happening here. My legs are a bit sore with the increase in mileage. But I’m going to tough out the next four runs because I’ll be getting a bit of a break after that. I’m trying to decide if I want to do a 5k or the 10 miler at the beginning of April. I’m leaning towards maybe finding a 10k to challenge myself and running the Stupid Little 5k and not the 10 miler.

I received my Knit Happens order yesterday with my Creatures of the Reef pattern and wound up one skein of lace weight over the weekend, so that is ready to go. I restarted DH’s Pomatomus socks. I wasn’t happy with the YO, so I’m replacing them with other increases. I pulled out the sock I’m doing for me (Jaywalkers) and was a bit surprised to see that I’m half way down the foot on the first sock. I also found the felting needle that I lost at the end of July (it was hidden in my sock bag).

Things are coming together for the NZ trip. I dragged my new suitcase upstairs into the land of Spare ‘oom and I’m collecting things there (like the little travel/trial sized goodies I bought last week).

I feel like posting a picture, so here is one of my grandma and me. She will be turning 85 while I’m gone, so we are doing her birthday party this Sunday. My sister is putting together a little scrapbook with updated photos of everyone. I took this photo about two years ago before my first Honduras trip.
