I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything I thought it could be.
I finished the scarf I've been knitting this weekend, and it's marvelous -- warm and thick and comforting. It's the best scarf in the whole world. I'm wearing it at my desk. Just because.
The habit of knitting and watching TV has become a little engrained, however, and last night when I found Office Space playing on ABC Family, I was too restless to actually sit and watch it. I ended up playing a dozen games of solitare, with actual cards, just for want of something to do with my hands.
Then I tried to figure out how to do a purl stitch, so as to tackle my next project -- knitting another scarf, but flat and more scarf-like. That did not go so well. Maybe I'll just knit Scarf the Next like Scarf the First, in hopes that it will be just as marvelous. The yarn I have for Scarf the Next is cool and multi-colored, but a bit thinner. It's a spring-weight scarf. Hopefully, I'll actually finish it before the end of spring.
I'm actually busy at work today, and I'm busy with fun projects that I enjoy.
Tonight I'll go to the gym and the grocery store, then come home, pack up the laptop, and spend some time in a cafe focusing on the PoMo RomCom. And then I'll return home, sit in my chair, watch a few episodes of The Office, and start knitting Scarf the Next before going to bed.
It's really really sad, how I'm the most boring human being ever.
