I feel about 900 percent better than I was feeling at about 2 a.m. Tuesday. Felt good yesterday, too. Now I just have to deal with mucus drainage. (ew)

Some weeks ago our courthouse clock was repaired; new chimes were installed to toll the hour and half-hour. This morning, as I unlocked the door to the office, the 10 a.m. bell greeted me with a chime version of "Santa Clause is Coming to Town". It lasted about five minutes, which is much longer than the standard hour chime. I wonder what they'll play at 11?

Since I have finally gotten over the plauge, I decided to start a new project: a top hat. It's from the latest issue of knit.1, which came in the mail sometime last week. I don't particularly like many of their patterns — I have every issue since its inception, so I've seen them all — but there were actually two projects in the "love" issue that jumped right out at me: the seed-stitch top hat, which I'm knitting in a lovely avocado green, and an anotomical heart "pillow", which would be a hilarious accompaniment to the wombs. (At the rate I'm going, I will have an entire body by next year! (I've seen the knitted digestive system over on Craftster, and have thought about making one.)

No photos from the weekend yet because, although my mom has managed to print a couple out, she still hasn't emailed them to me. I'll have to take matters into my own hands.

But since today is Fyberduck's birthday, I thought I'd include this festive little gem ...


Hodie Fyberduck nata est!


Hope you have a happy birthday! (Sorry that my first email got to you mysteriously blank — the cyber elves must've gotten to it.)
