I am still here, but it has been a hectic week and when I have not been crazy, I have crawled into a hole to chill out. Not to worry.
The visit to Knoxville was wonderful. Sweetie Pie was completed on the flights south and presented to the parents to be:
not particularly neatly placed, prior to be folded and put away, but visible none the less.
And although it is true that I cannot say I have been working all the time since my return, work has been very busy and tiring. I took Wednesday as a personal day and went into NYC to meet my friend for lunch and had a lovely time, returning home just in time to get to the town hall for a planning board meeting, where they did indeed approve my variance application. The next step is a building permit and we can begin the deck reconstruction. Hoorah! Hoorah! Happy dance with a glass of wine at home late Wednesday night!!
Thursday was again hectic and by the time I was leaving the office, at about 7 PM I might add, I was tired and frustrated and just wanted some time to curl up alone with a good book. I didn’t even want to sew or knit, just veg out a bit in silence. I knew no one would be home before 10:30 or so as I was expected in knitting group/class, and I shamelessly cut group and went home and curled up on one end of the sofa.
Oh happy girl!
I have made progress on Otto as well; the back is done, the front is progressing well. I made more progress on the train on Wednesday than in the air on Monday, perhaps watching the Hudson go by is conducive to knitting than clouds.
I shall return again to more regular posts, once the barbarians have been beaten back and the perimeter is once again clear.

While you were missed, I think a little ME time is always a priority, and we certainly understand it. We’ll see you next week.
