The Week August 14-20

Last week:

• Saturday morning I have an appointment to have a cracked tooth pulled and an implant started. This is my first extraction since having my wisdom teeth out years ago and I’m a little nervous, but I’m looking forward to not having a tooth that complains about cool breezes, much less hot or cold foods.
  Done – it wasn’t as bad as tooth-pulling nightmares, but it also wasn’t the most pleasant experience. I’m still not able to chew.
• Brandon, my oldest, goes back to school on Friday, a day early because he volunteered to help the university/other students with move-in day. I think my husband is taking him & helping him move in, so I will have a day of quiet at home instead of spending 6 hours in the car.
  Done – we took care of all the last minute stuff and he’s all settled in.
• Continue working on the summer top and/or Aranami.
  I ripped the summer top back to just below the bust so I can put waist shaping in and stretch the amount of yarn that I’ve got. I may still have to use another yarn for the ribbing in the collar, arms, and hem. Worked a little bit on Aranami.

• Start spinning something new.
  Nope. This week, maybe.
• Decide on a yarn for my Knit Together project square and start. I’ve pretty much decided on a stitch pattern and square construction, and I’m sure I’ll write about that, but I’m not sure that it’s going to be this week.
  Done.
• Continue with the new embroidery project during the day when the light is good.
  Finished. Here it is:

• Go to TKD Tuesday & Thursday.
  Done.
• Start strength training again, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
  Kind of done.

This week:

• Start chewing soft food.
• Get Ethan, middle son, ready to go to his first year of college 8/23.
• Continue working on the summer top.
• Start spinning something new.
