And in much the same way that I'm tired of being grateful to have a job, even one I hate, I'm getting tired of being grateful that you don't have to shovel rain. I know you don't, but it can provoke insanity all the same.
But! Look at the pretty yarn!
Bought in the rain, but isn't it sunny? Guess what it is.

This weather is ridiculous. It is still raining here. And I'm, what, six hours away from you? UGH.
On a cheerier note, my prize arrived yesterday. Thank you again for the book!
