It was another down day today. Tom ended up spending over $200 for a pair of bifocals that are nothing more than reading glasses he could get off the rack for $30. And yet I didn't hear him whine about needing a new stove first, but then it wasn't me wanting to spend money.
Yes, I'm a bitch. He says they're safety glasses. My prescription, with seamless trifocals, cost only $75 more. Which I can't afford right now. I'm holding out for fall to get a new pair because Zach and I both need new shoes and with both of us having wide feet (Zach is 4E) ours cost more money. But we get them on sale at Shopko for around $40 each so we're not really breaking the bank.
I'm beginning to hate the new stove we need.
I had to get out of the house so after supper I took off and ended up at StuffMart so I took a book to read and thought I would just grab some chocolate milk and sit in the truck and read. I do that. I use the parking lot as a place to be alone and think. But it started snowing when I came out so I just came home.
I need a life outside this house.
The laptop was back on display without a price on it. I caught the person working in electronics and she put her password in so I could look around but nothing would open up. The bloom is off the rose. All I need is a word processor, although research on the internet would be good as well. But this behaved badly and I don't like badly behaving computers. Just as well I went there tonight so I could fall out of love with it. Now I will be happy with my notebook and Ticonderoga number 2 pencils.
I still would like a door though.
I might knit tonight. I found a shawl pattern in laceweight that I like and even if the laceweight I've got is acrylic, it wouldn't look bad at all so I might give it a go. I'm not in the mood for the Navajo coat just yet. I need something light to work on.
I've been spinning every night lately. I moved my kick spindle into my bedroom where I can see it and reach it from my bed so I've done about an hour a night. Even though I've still got a ways to go before I'm done with the Welsh top, I'm closer than I was. And getting better all the time. I don't break my singles very much anymore. I need to look at Vicki's tutorials on dyeing pretty soon though because I have a lot of singles to dye. And I want to dye them as singles before I ply. I think they would look better that way.
Tomorrow I plan on starting to set aside time for writing, time for crafting, time for cleaning and cooking, and time for reading/studying. I also need to get back to spending less time online. It's like the Sirens' call for me, unfortunately. I plan on closing my curtains with a clothes pin (don't laugh...it's all I've got) and letting everyone in the family know my room is off limits when I've got the Do Not Disturb sign up. I hope it works. It will with Zach.
Off to get ready for bed and get started on the shawl and maybe read a bit before bedtime.

Funny you mention spending less time online. I've created some new rules for my online time as well. My ass is kicking me as it's grown a bit from sitting here at my time sucker box.
I hate paying for new glasses. I got my last pair at www.zennioptical.com - much much cheaper. You need your prescription with the PD (pupillary distance)which you can get from the person that did your exam if they didn't write it on the prescription.
