Breaking Up is Hard to Do . . .

No . . . I'm not talking about breaking up with Hubby! There are many kinds of breakups, and some have to do with work. Unfortunately, this is one of those deals. Remember those unique challenges that I alluded to last month? Well, unfortunately, these "challenges" became too much, so this one is going buh-bye soon. Pity. I did learn a lot about how to run business and how to deal with difficult clients, and what to look for next time. Onward and upward!

As for MDSW, I had a lot of fun. I'm not going to do a report since others have done a much better job than I, a currently infrequent blogger. I did take a picture a woman tooling around on a Sedgway. I thought this was unusual enough that I just had to take a picture. I remember seeing a picture of this same person, with another Sedgway user, on another blog. I'd like to know how this went, being as the fairgrounds are a bit hilly and it was packed (although to be true, there weren't as many people on Sunday that I saw this woman).

I didn't do much buying - just some dyed, prepared fiber, Judith's new book, and a few other items. Oh, and a large tool followed me home and thus caused a lot of rearranging in our living room. We're seriously thinking about switching over to Verizon FiOS since many people have been so positive about their experiences (although everyone wants it *now* and there are only so many people who can go around installing it, which can take like 6 hours, at least). There are things we need to do first, like get an extra circuit breaker set up (easy peasy - hubby's an electrician), run the cable through to the intended location in the living room (no big deal - just punch a hole in the garage, run it inside and up the staircase wall). I think the tricky part will be getting them to come out when we need them to come out.

Sewing? What sewing? See first paragraph above - so much of my energy has been snapped up by this that it's been really hard to to get back to my sewing. Hard to do something productive when there's so much drama going on. Ditto for knitting mojo (does it help when you've discovered a rather obvious boo-boo three rows below and you're trying to decide whether to rip back or just duplicate-stitch over the incorrect pattern sections?) . . .

I did get get my back garden straightened up and ready for planting. Going to have to replant some of the seeds since the heavy downpour from Saturday thunderstorm disturbed the ground that I had planted only hours before and cut in a mini-river channel, though.
