Who's a good girl making it to the weekend?


TGIF

I have decided to remove one of the planned Christmas crochet projects. Or rather, I think I've substituted it. I'm not making anything for Christmas for Candy - rather I'm getting her a gift certificate to get her ears pierced. She keeps saying she wants to so this will be the push, I mean nudge to get it done. 

I still could make her something for her birthday in January. But I think a shawl made of the Caron Latte Cakes yarn would be nice for Mom. 

And of course I'm going to add another read to the three I've got going and several others on deck. 

About to start MIRANDA IN RETROGRADE by Lauren Layne. Rom com.

After getting passed over for tenure and having her life upended in the process, a physics professor decides to throw caution to the wind and live by her horoscope predictions for a year in this effervescent rom-com from the New York Times bestselling author of Made in Manhattan. As the youngest physics professor at her university, practical-minded Miranda Reed plans her life with minute precision. But that’s before she’s denied tenure and the promotion she thought was guaranteed. Suddenly, her tidy life is anything but constant. Overdue for a sabbatical, Miranda takes some time to look towards the stars—only this time, she’s not looking for black holes. With her faith in science shaken, Miranda turns to a practice she’s long dismissed as astrology. Determined to figure out why her life has suddenly gone sideways, Miranda commits to a year of letting her horoscope guide her. Put a down payment on a home? Not while Mercury’s in retrograde. Spontaneous dinner party invitation? Sorry, horoscope says Gemini Rising best stay in tonight. And as far as the intriguingly aloof artist living next door? Never. His Aries energy is all wrong. On the other hand, the charming father of her new tutoring pupil is Sagittarian perfection. Made for her...right? As Miranda navigates life with new a perspective, she slowly discovers neither science nor the stars have all the answers. And that, when it comes to love, you sometimes just have to trust your heart.

Published 2024; 288 pages.

So the usual this weekend. Reading, crocheting, walking Keo, napping. I would like to do some jettisoning of stuff in the house. Maybe on Sunday. 

I also have a haircut and of course sprints tomorrow. 

Have a good weekend

Much love,
