More of nothing

I meant to post yesterday since we didn't have to drive up to Fond du Lac but as I had a little bit of energy, I tried to get caught up on cleaning.  Didn't succeed very well, but I did manage to straighten up the house, at least.

It's sunny and warm today which is a nice change from the past few days of cold and rainy.  But I'm still hesitant to put any plants or seeds into the ground yet.  The temps will get down to 34 tonight and that's too close to freezing for me.  I'll give it until the weekend, I think.

We had lunch with our priest which was nice.  It's great to have contact with people outside this house once in a while.  I'm developing a friendship with someone at church as well.  She's also an anglophile and loves movies and books, too.  But I still find myself holding back.  I'm not sure I know how to have friends.

Church Sunday was great, as usual, except I ended up reading the lessons.  It wasn't as bad as doing special music like I used to do at our old church but it was still a heart-pounding experience. Zach had vestry so I took my knitting along.  I'm working on the Tapestry Christening gown, only I'm making it into a shorter dress out of pink Bernat.  I love knitting baby clothes but I have no babies to knit for.  There is a new little one at church I might give the dress to, but I need to come up with something for her sister as well.  It's so hard for the older ones who are used to having all the attention from their parents.  

Professor is still not using that leg so I'm going to make an appointment with the vet.  Just which vet, I'm not sure.  My partner in the Altar Guild is a vet tech so I might take him there.  I won't go back to our old vet.  There is a new owner and he's not very good with small pets.

I'm coming along with the beaded scarf.  I will definitely do another project with beads.  I'm sorry I let myself get scared off before.  It's really not so hard although it requires more attention to the project than other things.  

My drawing is coming along.  I'm not very patient with myself though so I'm not letting it be fun. I'm taking it with me to Fond du Lac today. Along with some books to read and my notebooks for writing.  I don't take my knitting up any more because I need to work on other things besides knitting.  I feel so one-dimensional.

Not a lot to report today so I'm going to sign off.  I'm back to being tired and uninspired.  I'll try to take a nap in the car while Zach is in class.
