Right round

So I have another spinning lesson tomorrow. I'm getting better with the drop spindle, and am actually producing something that looks kinda like yarn. I've got a whole little ball of it, in fact. Which, frankly, makes me a bit giddy. It's still sort of inconsistent, but it's not all that bad (less so than Manos worsted, for those of you who know what that means). I tried to knit with it a little, but then it occurred to me that I don't know if we're done yet. Like, are we going to ply this week? I just don't know. But I'm pretty excited about it.

So for the fiberworkers out there, I pose you this question: Suppose I were to get a wheel. What do you have/like? What do you recommend? Are there any I should specifically avoid? Are there features that are more or less desirable? I have a friend who has two particular models she's selling (it's a long story how she ended up with two spare wheels), and I'll likely buy her Hitchhiker, but I'm willing to keep my options open.

For those of you who think the above paragraphs were written in some undecipherable code...sorry....

I did get up and go to the gym this morning. I'm counting it as a serious win, because I got to bed late and when I woke up this morning wanted nothing more than to sleep for another four hours (which I couldn't have done anyway, not if I wanted to keep my job), but I dragged my ass over there and did my thing. I didn't go all last week trying to rest my feet and my stupid plantar fascie, and as hard a time as I have dragging my sorry butt in there at quarter to dark, I find that I miss the gym when I don't go...

Work was....well, it was a Monday. I left my pager at home, so I had to borrow Rene's (she's on night float). I discharged FOUR PEOPLE from my team today, and have already picked up two brand new ones for tomorrow (fortunately for me, Sparrow caught what looks like the biggest train wreck). There was a lot of juggling and fire-squelching. I did a little postpartum group. I left around 6 after signing out two of my fires that were still smoldering a little to Scott and handing off Rene's pager to him.

But I did get to see robin at work today!!!! That was apparently quite a feat, because she's been working with us how long and this is the first time we've been at the big house at the same time...

Then I came home, did dishes, made spaghetti. And now I'm going to bed. My wild and crazy nightlife, folks.

And in totally unrelated news, it's still roachy in my apartment. I think we're looking at dropping a bomb on them soon.
