Step Away from the Knitting

I'm leaving Thursday for my photo shoot. I am so. tired. I have lots to do before I go, and today I worked really hard. On work I don't like.
For Tuesday:
1. work
2. buy treats for Guild meeting
3. pack up knitting machine and samples for Guild presentation. I'm presenting with Bonne Marie. We both started to be interested in machine knitting at the same time, for different reasons. Hopefully this will go well--it's going to be really extemporaneous. I need to bring the raffle items for the Fine Art of Fiber to this meeting--I have no idea when the gift baskets will be assembled, but I don't want the stuff at home where nobody has access to them.
4. make pie crust. I promised David a pie when I came out.
5. pack samples for carry on bag. I need to sew snap tape to one of the samples, and made a mistake tonight when I basted the tape on. It's proof that I'm too tired to do any more work.
For Wednesday:
1. work. Get an early start because I have to drive to Harvey. Remember that I need to aggressively look for another job when I get back from my trip so I don't have to do this much longer. Try to get to another location to finish additional work.
2. get hair cut, colored, and eyebrows waxed.
3. do laundry, and pack clothes and tote bag for trip. Need to print out e-ticket.
For Thursday:
1. work. At my old, and much missed job. Get an even earlier start because I need to get out of there by 1-2 pm.
2. get home, and tidy up before I leave at around 4 pm.
3. get to airport at 5.
4. pass out on the plane. Do they still serve cocktails?
I could have made things a little easier by staying home this weekend, but it was a last chance for us to get away. We went to Madison again, and ended up in Fontana on Sunday. Piccolo went with, and traveled well. It was easier than I thought to find a non-smoking room that would accept a pet. The photo is a birdhouse in my mom's garden. For Christmas I'm planning on knitting a Fiber Trends felted birdhouse for her indoor collection. A consolation prize because I probably won't finish the sweater I started for her.
