Did you know that? I can’t believe everything I accomplished so far today. I started off with a run at 6:45am. Yeah, that’s right. If I want to exercise with the kids home I need to go that early before T. leaves for work. I came home and worked on my yarn. We then went to the water filtration place where I picked up 4-40lb bags of potassium. We ran a few other errands, (one of which included mailing out all of my sold yarn plus my DYE-O-RAMA & Project Spectrum Swap yarn) and then went to Lowe’s where I picked up our new screen door to replace the one we have that got ruined somehow. I forgot to get a cart so I was walking through the store carrying a 48″x81″ door by myself.
When I got home I unloaded the 160lbs of potassium and re-filled the filtration tank, reset it and felt better that it was working again. I got out the screen door from the mini-van and brought it to the back. I would have installed it but I had to take Supergirl to gymnastics. I actually got some knitting done there. Shocking but true.
While Supergirl napped I dyed a custom skein of yarn and then just did a totally scary thing. I changed out the reverse osmosis filters. I had to turn off the water supply to it, (two things) unscrew these filters, get them back in, turn it all back on. And I did it! I hate having to ask my husband to do anything that I can figure out for myself. So yeah. I’m feeling pretty bad-ass about all of the house chores I got done today. And I did some minor plumbing to boot! Screw paying some dude $75.00 to come out here and do it for me. Remember this picture? Don’t mess with me man!
I have one hour until he gets home and maybe I can get the new screen door in too. Then I’m off to Stitch ‘n’ Bitch. And hey, there’s one skein of yarn left and it’s so pretty! Go buy it. Then I’ll dye more.

ok…can you pass osme of that gusto my way????
Go you! It must be a productive day here in the west I’ve done a fair bit myself considering that I have a bum wrist today.
Have fun at SnB!
darn girl - I feel like a slug
LOVE that picture of you!
I’m exhausted just READING about your day! Do you make condo calls outside your area code??
You rock it! I was pretty proud of my electronics feats today, which now allow me
to sit on my comfy chair and go on line in front of the tv while I knit, etc. I’ll be knitting
at 9 p.m., pretending that I’m at SnB with you all! xx
Nice job girlfriend!
Yowza. That’s a busy day. I bet you’ll sleep well tonight.
Definite bad-ass!
busy day!

So I need a new electrical circuit put in and some windows unstuck….wanna come to Chicago?
It is nice and hot here.
Uh…I sat on the couch a lot today. And took a little nap. I did manage to get the dishes out of the sink and into the dishwasher though.
Oh Scout, you´re so talented. Our home needs a new coat of whitewash! Maybe you could help me???
I enjoy your picture……
Wow! That’s one incredibly productive day.
Dang woman! Send some of that energy my way!
Wonder Scout to the rescue!
You are woman, hear you roar!
Now, if you could just send a little of the energy my way, I might actually get my laundry done.
Girlfriend, you are da bomb! Damn, you are so good, I wish I could do half of the things you do on a regular basis!
O.K. I was able to finish my first appletinni sock. Its posted on my blog. I litterally
weaved in the ends this morning.
WOW! Are you superwoman or what?
OK this is probably a really dumb question but what was the postassium for and how does
it fit in with filtration.
