Bad Sign?
Horoscope for: Saturday, December 31, 2005
Is this my first mistake of 2006, or does this belong to 2005? I hope it belongs under the Mistakes of Last Year category. No one wants to start off a new year in the hole.
There was a grand plan to attend Sharyn's (of the knitting circle) party. However, there was just enough snow to throw a wrench into our plans. Normally, Joe isn't one to shy away from driving in the snow. He does it frequently to get to work, but I suppose commuting in the snow is vastly different from sharing the snowy roads with a high volume of people who have been drinking. Having lived so many years in pedestrian-friendly cities, it's alarming to discover just how prevelant drinking and driving is when foot power or public transportation are not options.
Rather than complain about the snow ruining a good time, I decided to use the time to gain some perspective. I popped in Shakleton and picked up my knitting needles. Nothing makes me more thankful for a mere 2-3" of snow than watching men spend two years in the punishing climate of Antarctica.
There's a baby present awaiting sleeves, and I'm not even sure where the Violette (the French Girl beret) has gone off to, but I was itching for something new. I needed a small knitting adventure to span the leap from 2005 to 2006. Thus, I committed my first mistake of the New Year. Rowan's Elsie.
Joe's response was a sort of twitching face, and when pushed for elaboration, an admission that it looked as if popcorn were going to explode out of my head. No one loves popcorn more than I, but I not looking to promote Jiffy(Pop) Knits. Maybe I'm wearing it wrong; Elsie is supposed to have a sort of slouchy, Boho feel to it. I'm just feeling sort of a pouchy, Nono feel.
Too many demands on your time today can encroach upon your ability to do what you think is most important. This, in turn, can make you angry, but there isn't an easy way to express your annoyance without others judging you as overly negative. Your best bet is to work extra hard to complete whatever you can and then blow off the excess steam at a party later in the evening.
