Okay, imagine being on call. You get a call from work saying that you were supposed to be there to do a case at 9:30am. You look at the clock and it's 10:30am. Er... Yes, I'm the on call nurse. No I didn't receive a call last evening to be in for a case this am. Note on the GI Lab door saying that the on call nurse was going to be a little late..... What the heck is going on??? I didn't receive any call last night at home, on my pager or on my cell phone which I keep with me all the time. I didn't put any note on the GI Lab door. AARRRGGGHHHH. GREMLINS! That's the only thing I can think of!!!

I need a vacation! I haven't left work on time in over 6 weeks. The overtime is great once you see it on the pay check but not having any free time for real life is driving me SANE! whine whine whine

Okay... on to more enjoyable things.... (AARRGGhh, after 1.5 hours, the Dr just called back and said that the cases can be done tomorrow. No need to come in today)...

Here is the next roving! Red. Called Mojave. I love the red color! In real life, the color is slightly duller, unfortunately but I still like it.

All of the purple has been put up into hanks and I just need to set the twist. I know I should do that before I start the red but..... I can't resist!

I wanna start the red! I'm hoping to spin it fairly fine like the purple since I want to use it for the CandleFlame Shawl. That pattern originally calls for a bulky yarn and I do worry that my DK weight yarn will not look good but Lydia of Draw Strings used US 7 (4.5mm) circular needles and laceweight yarn so I'm thinking mine should turn out just fine. Time will tell.

Time? Did I mention time... or the lack there of? Does anyone know of a way to get more free time for the fun things in life??? Please let me know! Till then... happy spinning and knitting, everyone!
