Wednesday? Already?!

That means I'm halfway through my vacation and back home.
A couple of my favorite pictures:

The hotel is built in a bit of a V shape and we were on the other side but the beach access was on the other side.


Tide pools


Very stormy seas and lots of wind when we left on Tuesday afternoon.

So... Today I'm being lazy. I've managed to put away the clean laundry and to knit a couple of rows on my shawl but that's it for today. I'll have to get a little busier later. Tonight I have a kitty rodeo. Whisper is going in to be spayed in the morning and that means I have to catch her. Since she can't eat after 8:00, I'll need to get her put in the carrier by about 5:30 tonight (I have church tonight so it has to be earlier). That promises to be fun.

Tomorrow I have to take Whisper in to the spay and neuter clinic between 7:30 and 8:00. I'm having lunch with Durin and Ceridwen at 11:30. I'm making spaghetti- I think I'll put it into the crockpot tonight. I'm not sure when I'm supposed to pick Whisper up. When I get back to the house, I need to start working on my tunics. I have a bunch of linen and some wool to make tunics for Egils. I'd thought to make another flemish/working woman's dress but I really don't have the discipline or the materials to make what I want so I'll leave it for a little while. Besides, the tunics are easy to wear and don't put too much weight on on my back. I'd love to do gothic but I can't fit them myself so I'll have to wait until someone else has time to help me- which will probably mean it won't get done but that's ok too.

I also have beading and sculptey to play with if I need to do something different. I'm also working on a shawl for my high school best friend that is finishing up her radiation therapy. I want to get it to her before May 1st when she has an implantation therapy for 24 hours. But that's looking unlikely. So I guess I'll just keep working on it and get it to her as soon as I can. At least she'll know I was thinking of her.

Anyway, I should go get in the shower now. It's past time, don't you think?

Kitty rodeo...

I finally corralled Whisper. She wrapped a computer cord around her foot and I had to untangle her but couldn't grab her as I did. She made uncountable laps around the house. I closed all the doors so she was limited to the kitchen, living room and hall. She bounced off the screen door once so I closed that as well. She hit the glass door once but at least she wasn't likely to break that. I finally caught her in the window but she became a kitty blender, all teath and claws. I managed to put her to the ground and wrap her in a blanket with only one scratch. Then it was into the cat carrier with her hissing and growling the whole time. I left the blanket over the carrier to keep her from being too stressed out...I hope. I think I'm breathing just as hard and suffering almost as much stress as she is. I'm glad I don't have to do this often. I really need to see about making friends with her so this is easier. Any ideas? I've heard baby food hotdogs work.
