Not much to my life at the moment other than beads (almost done with the test pattern!) and the supposed Frakenstorm that's supposed to hit this region in the next few days. Yeah, IKR? Yikes.
FIrst the beads:
I'm about four rows from done and will probably just push ahead and finish it up in the next couple hours. As is true with each bead project, lessons were learned ( mostly that CLON thread >>>>>>> Nymo for many many reasons) Also that I have incredibly shitty posture. Trying not to hunch over the beadwork, but it's an ongoing battle. Mostly the lesson I'm taking away from all of this is that each of the screenies are going to require an incredible amount of patience and work.Rah Rah, up to the challenge and stuff, but I'd be lying if I wasn't slightly daunted considering how intense this little 1" and change square has been (Yeah, that thing is a little over an inch wide. Yeah I know. And I'm gearing up to tackle a pattern 9 times that on both sides. Truly I am a crazy woman.)
Also vaguely considering either a wrap for both wrists or a brace. Not that I have carpal tunnel or tendonitis or anything, which is a surprising you would think with the amount I type and the aforementioned shitty posture they would have gone by now, but so far no. I'd sort of like to keep it that way so invesitng in some wrist support might not be the worst idea.
In other news, like most of the East Coast, we are doing a little battening down the hatches for the Frankenstorm we're allegedly getting starting Sunday. I'm usually the one pooh-poohing the inclement weather predictions, especially since Valley weather is its own unique beast and continually defies meteorologist predictions of anything. After last year's freak Halloween snowstorm left errbody without power for several days, though, I'm not quite as dismissive. Drew and I added some emergency supplies to our usual Thursday shopping, though. We'll just have to see how it all goes, but I'm not going to lie, I'm both worried and also rather glad we don't have the kiddos this weekend.
lunchtime.
