Slowing down in terms of work, speeding up in terms of other life things.
Work has been getting a tad slower. Most of the folks know what they should/shouldn’t be doing at this point, so there’s little need to consult the lawyers after you’ve been going at it for 35 days. We do get inquiries, but not as many. That may pick up as we start planning restart activities, for whenever Congress decides to do their damned jobs. There’s rumors of movement, but nothing as yet. It’s not like they can take the House’s bill at this point, since that only takes us through the week before Thanksgiving, and no one wants to deal with this mess all over again in three weeks anyway.
In happier news, I finished the latest scarf tonight. No pictures yet, as it’s still damp on a towel for blocking at the moment. Looking at the next things in the queue I may go nuts and cast on two projects – a chunky hat with an interesting bit of color work detail (in grey and dark blue), and this very 90s looking scarf that the husband asked me to make him when I was flipping through patterns (in the exact colors pictured, because my local yarn shop had that exact wool in stock). It apparently looks just like a sweater he had back in the 90s that he loved. The scarf will be a ton of mindless 2×2 ribbing, which makes it perfect for the few meetings I have, as well as new TV viewing, where the hat will need a bit more attention, so older movies I’ve seen will be the call there.
Caught up on comics last week, and again this afternoon. Not thrilled with the current book on my kindle, The Portable Door. Having just finished re-reading the Wheel of Time series, I’m finding the smart assedness of this one jarring. Not that I don’t love a book with a smart assed voice, but it’s not hitting for me right now.
Had what is likely my last physical therapy session for the knee today. I have a ton of notes I took on exercises, so I think I’m set. It’s surprisingly not sore this evening, even after some shuttle runs and turning drills. I won’t be running a race any time soon, but in theory I could start more walking with some running interspersed.
