Today, Thursday, is going to be another busy one. I started with the annual meeting with the tax preparer, it’s good to have met with him. He gave me a little homework, and I will do that tomorrow. Today is already full!

I’m preparing more yarn for food-coloring dyes today at Foster Center. We used up all the light blue we had yesterday, and a little of the green. I’m not sure why, but the green didn’t take the dye as well as the blue, so I’m busy preparing as much blue as I can for the batch of kids I get today. I am counting my blessings, particularly this donation of yarn from Cyndy, because the kids really enjoy this project.

I have a very wonderful thing to do before Foster Center, though… I get to see my friend Ulyana. I knit her a pair of sox (too long ago, actually… we seem to never connect) and she is going to give me a massage. Not only will she give me the best massage I know about, but we also get to chat for a good hour or more. I will really enjoy that.

After the massage is CityKidz Knit! where we’ll do the magic dyeing thing. I have computer lab after knitting, and then I run to Little Red Schoolhouse to teach a Watercolor Bag class. I’m delighted to start my own bag during class… I have knit two of them, but one is at Little Red Schoolhouse and one is at Yarn Garden in Charlotte. Maybe it’s my turn!

Rob at Threadbear wrote yesterday to say that some of his customers (when they were in Indiana) tried to felt the Kujaku yarn I was hoping might make a good felted bag. I believe it might have a problem, because the wrap holds the wool in place so firmly that it would have a hard time migrating and grabbing hold of the neighboring fibers. I’ll figure out something!!!

Tonight I am definitely not going to cook dinner! I am planning to pick up some food, either at Altu’s or Aladdins depending on what time it is (Altus closes at 9, Aladdins 10). Then I crash early! I was up too late preparing for the tax preparer.

What a full day! I’m pleased. You know, I realized yesterday when talking to my friend April, that I do tend to worry and complain no matter what. But it’s just because I’m in the habit of worrying and complaining. My life is good, and the worries of today are insignificant in the big scheme of things.

It’s still spring here… we have cloudcover and it’s in the 50’s F instead of the 60’s but no snow and no hint of frost. I will take it!
