music & sewing

[kareina]

Got up early this morning because my sister had arranged to have a photographer come to commemorate the first time all four of us girls were together since my step dad died six years ago (living on different continents makes for infrequent reunions). That seemed to go well, but I haven't yet seen the photos. I tend to be surprisingly un-photogenic, so it will be interesting to see if I like any of the photos. This afternoon I borrowed my sister's rollerblades and spent more than an hour out on the near-by bike trail. Then I enjoyed a nice nap (Can I tell you how much I'm enjoying holiday mode?) before heading out to hear Tania Opland in concert. She's got another show on Monday in Tacoma, and I'm hoping to get down for that one, too. Tonight's show was long enough to complete a couple of seams in the skirt in progress, so there is a chance that I will have that skirt ready for my arrival in Milan, if I keep making time to work on it.

I *ought* to resume doing my 1000 words a day (reading geologic literature), and I should start papers for publication, and there is a powerpoint presentation to do summarizing my thesis results, but, somehow, I haven't yet made time for these things. Perhaps tomorrow. Now I think I shall get some sleep...
