Newest hat and scarf

The primary is over.
Election night was madness. All 45 of my precincts came in just before midnight as I raced to finish all four of my stories on deadline as it "whooshed" past me. Screams across the newsroom as I realized the numbers on "Election Magic," the state's website, were wrong. Well, there was little magic happening. But a phone call later and all was well. The numbers were corrected on the page before they went to print. Oy.
And now I'm busy working on hats, scarves and other knittable treats to put away in the gift pile.

I miss my air conditioner

It's ugly, hot.
I'm so exhausted. I don't have air conditioning at home or in my car. It's like 105 inside the house!
For the past week I've had to stand infront of my fan after I take a shower to get into my clothes. Without the fan, by the time I get my clothes on there already soaked through with sweat.
And the car is no better. It's like a 120 inside it and I drive about 45 minutes to an hour to get to work. I've been wearing skirts to stay cooler but my legs are slimey with sweat by the time I reach my destination. And by the time I get home it takes all the energy that I have left to take a COLD shower and sit on the couch infront of a fan.
Oh, I hope it breaks soon.
Is it? I hear the rumbling of a storm in the distance - could it be rain? Could it be? Please, I'd like a good nights sleep. I have so much work to do....

They have this lacey fringe

After a week of sweat and dirt I celebrated by buying myself a new pair of silky pink PJs. (Don't worry they were on sale - way sale)
My "rock-star" plans for the weekend fell through. So, I spent most of my time on the couch, knitting, cooking, drawing and playing with Ms. Chleo. (I also did laundry and cleaned the house - I know I'm sick) But alas it's time to go back to work. Need to pay the man - really I need to buy my friends gifts (at least that's what I tell myself to feel better)
Happy Monday Everybody!
