It Will Be An Interesting Day....

Today is the first day of Master Gardener training. Add in that somehow I tweaked my right hand playing with the wood yesterday and the middle, ring and pinky fingers are pretty much useless. On the good side, today will be going over scheduling, volunteering, the online portion of the course, etc., so, other than some writing (which, surprisingly, doesn't seem to hurt), that should work out fine.

Not much sleep last night due to an upset stomach, I had the aforementioned wrong yarn show up so my choices for knitting to take along today were a bit limited (Well, hellloooooo there, Mochaberry!), and the dreaded house-rabbit made an escape from his X-pen sometime overnight. That one was my fault: I was tired and forgot to affix the latches on the gate. Little Houdini, Jr., 4.7 lbs of black, lionhead/Jersey Wooly fluff, has discovered that if he grabs the gate and works it violently back and forth, he can get it open. He looked both proud and defiant this morning--Edward G. Robinson with rock-star hair.

Please forgive any typos; much of this was typed one-handed while the other hand pet the affectionate and yet thoroughly unrepentant rabbit. Pets having been finished, the noble Count of Rabbit Cristo has retired to his litter box. Like many men, he does his best thinking there and is even yet plotting how to get around the latches next time. Time to finish casting on the sock I want to take today...
