April glowers

Yes, I know that should be showers in the title but we don't have those today, just those glowering darkish skies that might portend rain but probably only mean that the day hasn't found the energy for sunshine yet.

There is glowering elsewhere in Dreamin Diva's life today, she (as in I, but I need some distance here) has lost the battery charger to the digital camera. Since the battery and charger are both proprietary, there's no possibility she can go to the local mall and just pick up something to resolve this situation. Therefore she's seriously pissed at herself for being such a doofus as to let the charger become separated from the camera. What's the camera case for if not to keep everything together, eh?

So all four pair of the marvellous socks I've so painstakingly knit in the last month can't be photographed because SHE can't keep her life organized enough to keep said charger where it can be found when needed.

Sigh...why can't we (she & I) get it together, eh? What's with this muddle in the life? Oh, yeah, it might have something to do with all the time I spend working, spinning, knitting or reading, which leaves little time for the routine tasks of cleaning, sorting and umm, putting things in their proper places.

On the desk today: taxes and the passport application.

On the needles: two shawls, one complex and very interesting, in a Faroese style, the other simple and endless but pretty so we continue; a pair of cabled socks in some plum coloured alpaca blend that's very lovely. Enroute to me: more sock yarn and a spectacular shawl yarn in sufficient quantity to keep me out of other mischief.

On the work front: the last or nearly last run through of the changes to the Age Advantage program that I've written; a phone meeting with the designer to see what format/form she needs the files in; bookings for the six road show venues for early May (and how gruelling will that be???); preparation for the first session of the first of ten Portfolio Development sessions to be facilitated in the next ten weeks (two groups so actually 20 sessions); and miscellaneous other bits and bobs to complete the work contract by May 15th. The Portfolio contract which I'm doing at the same time as my work contract by taking vacation 1/2 days, continues until June 19th. And this is in aid of building my travel to Italy fund. We'll see how that goes.
