everyday yadda yadda
lisa has a sore throat and she's losing her voice. this is relevant because she had these throat losanges from the pharmacy and they numb anything they touch in your throat. she did not enjoy them, but i asked to try one out, and had some fun swishing the candy around in my mouth trying to freeze different places. it felt kind of like you feel at the dentist's. but no gritty tooth polish to make you gag and no revolting flouride soak. just experimental numbing. lisa said i had to have one every time she did. today we had some good laughs. we just get giddy sometimes. gid-o-rama. it won't do to put down specifics because they won't seem funny in black and white print. but they made us howl. my work is so informal. lisa said it is probalby one of the only places you can make fun of your boss to his face and not get in trouble.
today my desktop wallpaper is from march of the penguins. it's two penguins who are in love. their heads droop down and meet each other gracefully. i like penguins.
i'm knitting agian. i started last night. i'm five inches away from finishing the 1st leg warmer. when i think of the other 'unborn' leg warmer, i feel a tad bit overwhelmed but then i say to myself 'hey, who cares?' and then i don't. but that doesn't mean i don't worry that by the time i get these done, amay won't even want them, because let's face it leg warmers have a limited time in the sun. that's ok. she'll just have to wear them in a different way i tell myself. she can wear them at home. but i don't think about her not wearing them at all because that would make my efforts a WASTE OF TIME. amay let this be a lesson to you, (as bethany would say).
yesterday i was knitting away when i got a call from dad. kaetlyn was going to have to take the 12:35 bus home and could she stay with me until then so that he could catch the ferry? sure i said. it wasn't long before the beast-inspired truck of dad's pulled up to oru house. it was his first time to my house, so i showed him around. of course my room just had to be really messy that day. bed uncharacteristically unmade, laundry not put away, bags from the the camping trip strewn about. oh well.
at 10:30 i got up from watching 28 days and knitting to leave for safeway with kaetlyn so she could buy some foodstuffs for her trip. it was at this time that kaetlyn has a realization. it's not a good one. but it's a typical clarke one and i think she has a healthy helping of that gene. she forgot her bus ticket in dad's truck. they guy at the greyhound booth was unbending. you need a ticket to ride (just like john lennon would say). without a ticket you don't get on. so i ended up buying her a new one with the understanding that dad would refund the old one and give the money to me. we'll see if he doesn't lose it. he kept calling her a knuckle-head, but in my eyes he is the source of all this type of confusing and forgetting in our family. i wonder if he had an ancesor like him, or if he's the original. could have been a gene mutation. and now i have it, jordan and doug definitely have it... anyways kaetlyn and i sat around talking and discussing the contents of our purses and talking pictures until 10 after 12, which is when we went outside to board the bus. during that time i asked her every 5 minutes where her ticket was. at the line up she kept fretting. how do you know this is the right line up and what if i go to the wrong place... then too bad i said. no just kidding. i even asked the bus driver to make sure she was on the right bus. i gave the luggage loader her stuff and gave her a hug and came home to bed.
and now i'm going to look for some eats, watch a movie and knit some more.
