Finished. For now.

I'm done with classes for the semester. I'm still waiting on official grades for two of my classes, though I suspect I know exactly what those grades will be.

Other than that, I've been spending time cleaning the house, trying to maintain some sort of order around here before the parasite comes out. Oh, yeah...forgot to mention that earlier. That was the big news. I have a parasitic growth in my abdomen. It's making me lose weight while making my belly bulge. I'm not too happy about the latter part because I'm having trouble finding clothes that fit. I'm sure it's only going to get worse. Right now, lots of nausea and fatigue, occasional dizzy spells (particularly when I get up too fast from the bed)...no throwing up business (thank Bob!). No idea what flavor of parasite it is - male or female - and not exactly sure on the date it's going to come out but it will probably be right before Thanksgiving (late November for those of you that are not Americans). So, that puts me right around 3 months at this point. We (the husband and myself) are trying to figure out which room to put the crib in...he wants to put it in my office and I'm voting NO WAY on that one, and not because I'm being selfish. There's a built-in cupboard/display cabinet in there that has glass doors. Yeah...small climbing thing with glass doors...I don't think so. So, I'm voting for the guest bedroom. His argument is that we're going to need a place for guests to stay. Okay. The bed will still be in there, too...and if, by some small chance, we have guests stay, the aforementioned parasite can stay in our room in a Pack-N-Play. Not so difficult, is it?

Anyway, that's about all I know at this point. I've been trying to do some knitting but lately, I just don't care much. I mean, I'll work on projects but since I'm not absolutely in love with any of them, I don't really have the desire to work on them (like I did when I was working on my sweater). Hmmm...

Last Week :)

It's finally the last week of classes here at the University of Wisconsin and I could not be more excited! I am so ready to be done for the semester. Normally I would have a class today (Monday) but my professor is out of town for a conference so I don't have class today. Basically, it's an excuse to work on my paper that's due Friday. All I have left for the semester are three presentations (two this week, one during finals), two finals (both during finals week), and the aforementioned paper. Then I am finished and it will be grand.

So, remember the socks that I had a huge stupid about? Well, now I've started them on two circular needles. I'm not sure how I like it just yet but it's better than fiddling around with DPNs. We'll see. I'm doing one at a time, however, because that's how I was taught. So there.

Also, I have something else that I can finally post about. But, I have to size the picture correctly or we're in a whole lot of trouble.
