The Knitting Maevan

I'm grumpy. Like, the super grump. I can't even explain the amount of pure grumpiness flowing in my veins this very moment. Nothing major brought it on. PMS. Basic disappointments surrounding my weekend and the impending doom I feel about this coming week.

I hate University. Or, at least, March when attending University. I have 3 research papers, unstarted, due this week. I have one seminar due this week. Lis' brother is visiting. I am being drowned in debt. I have a job with no shifts and thus, I am broke.

Furthermore, I am cursed with knitting lately. Nothing's working. I've frogged Lucky about 9 times now. Here's the swatch. I don't know what it is. I just can't get the pattern right. The top part of the clover is never where it's supposed to be, and yet everyone else on the knit-along hasn't had any problems. What the hell is wrong with me?

I haven't really gotten any futher than the ribbing. Maybe I'll try starting with the sleeves or something (right now I'm doing the back). I just want to throw the damn thing out the window. Meanwhile, because I've been overworking the yarn, it's starting to dull and fuzz on me. Sigh. Also, I cna't even work on my scarf as I lost one of the needles and am too broke to buy another. I hope I find it, though my chances are pretty slim. Could be anywhere between here, my school and Barrhaven. Boo. Hiss. Encouraging words anyone?

Good news? We're getting settled. After MANY angry calls to Rogers, we have the internet. We may switch anyway just due to how terribly we were treated. Honestly, it's been terrible. I'm writing a BUNCH of angry letters. Once I have free time that is...

Here's a quick view of our new place. :) We like it.

I really wish I could just hit the giant pause button for life. Really. I just need to catch my breath and calm the hell down. I'm getting grouchy with everyone. It's bad. I hate the March blahs. I also hate how depressed I get this time of year.

So, more good news... I'm now hosting Lis :) I upgraded my server, so I now have 1GB of space, rather than the 200MB I had before. So, now we're roommates all over the board.

Well, I think that's all for now. Take care all. I hope my mood improves so that you can all see me smiling and giddy or something. In the mean time, enjoy a shot of me at Red Lobster, out first real dinner after the move.

Mood: Blah
