Weekend Update

Weekend Update: Well, I survived. It was a stressful week. I spent several nights getting the TC website ready for the sale launch on Saturday morning. On Friday I rushed home from work to do an emergency house-clean before Jeannie, Chris, and Kurt came over for dinner. We had lamb shanks cooked in our new slow cooker (thanks Miss Fee!) and everybody had a nice time. Kurt really liked his Tintin jumper and, as you can see here, it fit perfectly! It’s just a little bit big, so I’m hopeful he’ll get another winter’s worth of wear out of it next year. After they left, it was back to the TC site for final preparations. (I would’ve pulled an all-nighter if not for the help of the Snook, who I really don’t deserve.) Saturday morning I dragged myself into the city to meet the girls at the shop, and then we all went out to breakfast afterwards. That afternoon the Snook and I went to Broadway to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It was highly entertaining… but yeah, the story is really stupid. Sunday morning I joined Miss Fee and some of her running buddies to do the “Bay Run,” a 7km course around Iron Cove. I started out well, but by the 4km mark I was struggling to get my breath. My lungs just still aren’t 100%. Somehow though, I still finished in a really good time. Maybe I need to run with other people more often. I spent the rest of Sunday chilling out and listening to podcasts while I knit. It was just what I needed.
