Thursday?

It is Thursday, right? I’m a bit discombobulated this week. First there was the damned time change. I don’t care which “they” pick, I just wish “they” would pick one and stick with it.

Then I had my colonoscopy on Tuesday. Which meant both Monday and Tuesday were shot, and yesterday I was a bit befuddled as well. My sleep schedule had been a mess the past year with all the pandemic/work related anxiety, and it had just started to get back to normal before the time change.

I feel like I haven’t gotten anything done today, but I did start some sourdough bread.

It’s just plain old white bread, with flour, sourdough starter, water, and salt.

And I started a pot of black beans for tonight’s supper.

Isn’t that a pretty bean pot? It’s a Colombian-made Chamba pot, and it makes terrific beans and stews. Here’s another photo.

Now that the Blue Cloud Shawl is done, I’m on to the next lace thing. I have two lace shawls still in progress, both ancient. I picked the one that has been on the needles the longest, my Cathedral Stole.

According to Ravelry, I started that in 2016, so it is just freaking time to finish it. As usual, that color is way off. It is more of a deep scarlet red. Once we get some sunshine around here I might get a decent photo.

And the Blue Cloud is almost ready to come off the blocking mats. I may have a Finished Project for Friday.

  1. Very cool bean pot. You’ve made me want to pick up my lace shawl that has been hibernating. The one I’m working on is being pissy and needs a timeout.

  2. You are a really bad influence. Last year you raved on about some special heirloom beans and now you show us these gorgeous bean pots and other things from La Chamba. Oh well, I guess I don’t have to spend ALL my money on yarn…

  3. Love the bean pot, but I know better. Since I am not doing the cooking…. 2016 isn’t too bad for a well-aged WIP… hate to say how old my oldest are, but I found a number tucked away in my closet which date from when I was working in the UK (which I left in 2010….

  4. Just had my endo and colon both last week. Who knew there is a shortage of prep stuff????? Why? Are people standing in lines to get a colonoscopy? Can they not keep up with teeming horde demanding the stuff? The prep the drug store substituted was BRUTAL. On another note…. I’m impressed that you could spell discombobulated. I wasn’t sure it was a real word until I looked it up.
