There, That's Better

The first sockapaloooooza sock is officially off the needles. Whew! It ended up being kind of a hassle ... instead of untangling the yarn as-is, I guesstimated how much yarn I would need for the heel and then CUT the yarn there.... luckily I was good on my guess and had plenty of yarn to finish the heel, and it was much easier to untangle once I had an end to work with.

The second sock is even started! I might even finish *before* the Aug. 4 deadline.

I'm feeling more zen about other bits of life too. I've done a lot of things around the house so far and have gotten caught up on some not-fun things like bill-paying and sorting through a ton of old papers. And my school project is on track, though there is still a lot to do. I still need to file my passport renewal papers and make a mammoth run to the Container Store, but most everything I can do from home. And I'm sort of enjoying being a homebody, for now at least.

Now, off to play in the yard!
