I kept Mack home from daycare today, as he's supposed to be 24 hours fever free before I can send him back to daycare. I worked from home today, though was supposed to go into the office today. Hopefully he'll go back to daycare tomorrow, so I will go into work then. While Mack napped, I weaved in the ends to the blanket, listened to some knitting podcasts and tried to get as much work as possible done from home.

This evening I had the Guild Meeting. Madeleine came over, and I fed her dinner (I'll talk about the tomato sauce that I made from scratch tomorrow) and after dinner we went together to the Guild Meeting. Tonight if you were wearing at least 1 knitted item (I wore Ishbel), you got a raffle ticket for a prize. I didn't win anything, but it was certainly fun doing the show & tell part. I also showed off Mara, which is almost done.

It was really nice to get out of the house tonight, for a little while. The Guild Meetings are quite short actually, and have a start & ending time. It's like, just as you're getting into a knitting project, and chatting with people that you only get to see once a month, before you know it, it's time to pack up and go home. I hate that. But I enjoy being Newsletter Editor, and I do enjoy seeing those ladies once a month, (while I am pretty certain (99.9% certain) I'm the youngest member who goes, age is just a number)... I am pretty certain the next youngest person is my cousin Jenn, who is almost 4 years older than me. There is another one or two who are probably around Jenn's age, and everyone else is older than us. That's okay, though, I find that I get along with older people a lot better than younger. It's possible it's just the page of life that I'm on... if you know what I mean. I've always had older friends, older boyfriends, etc. I guess it's all about maturity.

On that note, I'm going to go knit some more in bed and hit the sack as my two young kidlets will be up early - that's for sure. And as much as I'd love to stay up all night and be the night owl that I am, I'm going to be responsible and go up to bed.
