I have been wrangling mattresses after work today and I am tired!  I have rub burns on my hands.  I had to clip my already short nails shorter because I tried to rip them off. 

You have to realize that I did not feel well today.  I took a quart of ginger tea to work in a mason jar.  One of the men I work with who is from Angola was "Can I have some?!?!"  He never asks so I said yes.  My plan for after work today was to curl up in my rocking chair with my crochet hook and disappear into the sweater I am making again.  At this rate, I will be lucky to finish my tea and finish this post!

I did get more fleece washed.  I am rewashing the fleece I had washed before.  This time in smaller batches and with Unicorn Fiber Scour.  It has made a huge difference!  So much cleaner!  So much softer!  But still smells like sheep. 

Up close with this very dark Corredale fleece I have, you can actually see different colors where you could not before.  I am hoping to get some carded so I can work with it on my drop spindle on the beach.  It may be a bit optimistic. 

My gallivanting gets closer and closer and I am excited!
