Enjoyed thoroughly the lazing about and watching cartoons with the kids last night. I'm so incredibly jazzed to have an extra day off. And S4 emailed in sick, so he's home today! Yaaay! (Though it was rather legitimate, so he's still in bed, and he might not go on my marathon errand-run with me.) Now that I've spent the weekend setting up and tearing down a warehouse party, and helped dangerdhotrod with the moving, it's time to clean our sty of an apartment. And run errands. So many errands. I will not get everything done today that I want to get done today, but that's okay. My muscles are starting to feel better, and I am well-rested, but I am not lifting anything for anyone today. Nothing. At all. So there.

got me a licorice stick...

Clarinet's all fixed up. Yay! Told the repair guy that I was eager to find out how much was the clarinet and how much was me making it sound awful. He said that the things that were wrong would definitely make it *much* more difficult to play, especially the highest and lowest registers. So, that's comforting, and it follows with the problems I'd been having. It was reiterated again how much more difficult it is to go from sax to clarinet than the other way 'round, since the embrochure is so much more demanding. Ah, well. The fingerings are a little confusing, too, since they're half the same and half different from sax, and named differently because of a different concert pitch. At least I know where I start now. It's all re-oiled and tastes different because of it, too, which is nice. It's less stale.

Also did some other returns and got office supplies for work.

Mmmmm, niskena.

Opened the last christmas gift from Mom and Dad S4, and it wasn't something completely weird or bible related! In fact it was three skeins of fun, fuzzy blue yarn and three different sizes of knitting needles! Color me impressed. I guess I'm a knitter for real now.

...any of you crazy knitting ladies care to lend me a copy of stitch 'n' bitch? I actually decided I'd buy it if I saw it at the store today, but it wasn't there.

Time to annoy my neighbors with amateur clarinet! Woohoo!
