Things:
- I don't know why it never occurs to me to take painkillers for a sore throat. It's like there's some sort of block in my mind that says, "No, that won't work, you idiot," so I sit there for hours, wincing every time I swallow, until I develop some other symptom that my brain painkillers do work on. For instance, I came home with a sore throat and a pounding headache and took some ibuprofen. About 30 minutes later, my throat is all "What is this wondrous magic?" I could have done that ages ago. I am an idiot.
- Finished a pair of socks yesterday. (Jury duty will do that for you. No, I did not knit in the courtroom - that would be rude.) They are bright yellow and quite cheery and possibly the best-fitting socks I've made yet. I'm quite pleased with them.
- Alas, it was something like 75 degrees today and thus is not cold enough for wool socks yet. It is the first day of fall! It should be colder!
- I have been watching a lot of Farscape recently. Some shows, when I rewatch them, it's fun and I enjoy it and then sort of move on with things. Farscape is not one of those shows. Farscape is a show that sits in my brain and I think about it constantly and I make up terrible fanfiction that no one else can ever know about and I kinda want to drag random people in front of a television, just so that I can watch it with them and have conversations. Thus far, I have not actually physically forced anyone to watch the show but if my coworker keeps my dvds of season 1 without watching them for much longer, I may have to.
- Despite the fact that I cannot wear them, I am casting on a new pair of socks tonight. The yarn this time is black because there is really only so much cheery I can manage before my brain revolts.
