Happy

Posted on September 28, 2012 by dichroic

I love almost every part of this trip. First, there’s the leaving work as early as we can, though I suspect today that won’t be until 4-ish. Then we go home and get our stuff and change clothes. Then there’s … Continue reading →

Today is Thursday. By evening Saturday (or late-night Saturday, depending from side you look at the 9-hour time difference), I will be here: (I use a Swiss ball as an office chair. I mean the bouncing part quite literally.)

on the way home

Posted on September 25, 2012 by dichroic

Phew! Finally done Thera. Actually I finished knitting it last weekend, but it’s take me until now to finish weaving in approximately 3,278 yarn ends (well, at least 30). Since it’s only in one color and I only used 7-8 … Continue reading →
