I'm much calmer now, after the social worker rant - here's my stress level now: ME though last night was another Insomnia Festival - awake at two, managed to fall asleep, when the cats started stirring, the dog helpfully barked at the cats because they were stirring, etc. Looong night. Not a good night.


I am up to the underarm on the Xanax Sweater, which means it's just about time to start a sleeve. Now that I've been corrected on the due date of the Sitcom Chic (see tagboard) - what do I know? I was never in a sorority! I can't remember when the chorus of bitching about the grueling recruitment and initiation period begins, except that recruitment starts sometime when the term is about to begin and continues until everybody is in tears and collapsing from heatstroke and exhaustion. Somehow I thought initiation followed closely on its heels, but I guess they like to prolong the agony. So I will await a current measurement from Sorority Girl (in email) so I can gauge which size to make, rather than guessing. SG stands 5'9" and I don't want the SC to look TOO skimpy on her, so I was already thinking a large might be best, but that may be too big...measurements are a useful thing when knitting for someone at a distance.


My last birthday present to me, the big box from Elann, should be here today or tomorrow! I can't wait to dig into it, but I must, because July is Finish My Stuff Month - I must resist the startitis.
