09/28/2006: "Still going..."

God, am I glad tomorrow is Friday! A truer TGIF I never had. This week has been a bear and I'm exhausted. Wednesday I had a class that kept me at school until 6:30 and today I had BTSA so I didn't get home until after 6 pm. I've been realy tired and I can really use a couple of days to sleep in - and birthday weekends are just right for that, heaven knows!

Because of the fatigue and getting home later than usual, I haven't done any knitting to speak of. We had our Club Information Day at school on Wednesday, so I did some sock knitting just to show off what it was that the club was about. Happily, two boys were extremely interested in the proceedings and are really jazzed about the club. I love to see boys who are confident enough in themselves to take on knitting. As one of them told me, "I just want to try everything!" What a fantastic attitude, especially in an 8th grader!

So! Birthday weekend! Yes! About that... it's going to be a quiet one this year. AC and D and my mom and Dave and I were all going to go out for dinner on Saturday to celebrate AC's and my birthday together, but D found Sharks tickets on eBay for that evening so we're putting off the dinner for another week. That's OK with me since Dave will be taking me out just the two of us, instead. I think we're going to La Pinata, which has the best mole on the planet (or at least here in Fremont) so no complaints here!

On Sunday (my actual birthday) I may drive out to Tracy with Dave on a job he's got out there because there's a yarn shop we went to last summer that I'd like to get back to. I can't really imagine anything practical that would be much better than spending part of my birthday in a yarn store two days after payday. I mean, yeah, Hawaii would be nice, but not so practical. Ya gotta get your jollies where ya can.

Then again, if I'm still tired I may just hang at home with my knitting and some old taped episodes of Simon & Simon that Mom has been pulling off of the Sleuth channel for me. We don't get Sleuth and I used to love Simon & Simon so it's sort of been a thing for me the past few months. Last summer it was Star Trek: The Next Generation reruns, now it's this. Next summer, who knows?
