I spun -- spindled? -- so much that I think I gave myself some kind of repetitive stress strain/injury/I dunno what it's called but ow. So I took a day off, then tried to do a little spinning yesterday (just for like ten minutes), and -- wow, now my elbow hurts like a mother. Dumbass right here, guys. And then I probably made it worse by knitting afterwards. I am, apparently, just not that bright.
I have also forgotten all my Latin in the past four months. So I should get on that. Have I mentioned that I have to start doing grad school apps again? Even though my main plan is "go back to Tulane for the PhD" because what if I don't get in! Ugh.
I've been keeping an anxious eye on Isaac and texting my friends who are still in Louisiana. I hope that everyone in Isaac's path is safe. (Related: a tree fell on my favorite NOLA bookstore. WOE.)
The county fair starts today. I entered some knitting and some baking and have an exhibitor's path, so I'll go later today to check out what ribbons I got. (And can add to my not-as-extensive-as-a-lot-of-other-people-in-town collection -- I haven't been to the fair for the past three years (and the only reason I went four years ago was because I, oh god New Orleans, got evacuated for Hurricane Gustav when I was a freshman), but I've got ribbons from doing 4-H (just dogs, not horses or cows or sheep or anything) when I was younger. Fuck yeah country girls, I guess.)
