What has happened to us--people in general? Three people (two clients and a service rep) missed appointments with us last Friday. Just didn't show up or call!! Then, as so often happens, they all showed up this morning within an hour of each other again without calling. What is that??? I have to admit that when it happens I am not inclined to discount any of our fees. I also admit that the calm, rational peacemaker in me disappears and it takes a lot to not say an angry word during our meeting. Rant over!
The red sockies are finished. Actually I am wearing them this morning. It's a good thing I am wearing comfy socks, jeans, sweater and have my big shawl to throw around me to soothe, as well as my knitting to keep me calm. I have started the cowl in hot pink and another in gold variegated Avery Allison yarn. I also started these dark green socks with red, blue and yellow flecks. They are superwash wool and will be a gift for I-don't-know-who for Christmas. I guess I should figure out who so I know how long to make them!
With everything that is going on I am most happy about the fact that I am knitting, and finishing, and wanting to knit more. I don't like times of knitting malaise when I can't seem to pick up the needles without feeling bored or disinterested. That scares me! If I don't knit then who am I?
Before I go I will share our breakfast visitor with you. (Not the best picture but this little guy moves fast). I give you Mr. Chickadee....
Life is good.

I love little chickadees...
I can't comment on the no-showers; I TOTALLY spaced on a teleconference yesterday, after confirming the day before! The Knight asked me to accompany him to go look at a new fire truck, and there's very poor (as in NONE) cell service at the station...
Looking at a new fire truck is a really good reason not to make an appointment!! If they had even offered such a reason I might have felt more forgiving! LOL Thanks, you have made me feel so much better. Next time I will just consider the possibility the particular client has been out looking at new fire trucks.
LOve the socks and love even more that you wore them during the post.
Selfish people.....ugh. SO Sorry you had to deal with them.
LOVE mr. Chicadee dee dee. Your grass is sooooo green, thanks I needed to see green grass today. Grey in chicago again. Folks love our mild winter....I do not. I love me some snow
Love the comfy red socks! I finally had a chance to check out the Jennings Street Yarn shop this past week. Love it! Of course I had to come home with some yarn. lol.
It is frustrating when people don't show up or call for an appointment. I wouldn't be feeling too nice either.
