I have always maintained that if there is a chore that I have been putting off because it’s A) time consuming or B) boring or C) gross or D) expensive, then somehow, if I wait long enough, the universe will take care of it for me.
This has happened on numerous occasions, like, I needed to vacuum Jason’s house while I was still living there and then suddenly I come home from work and my aunt is randomly there, vacuuming. Or, I need to seriously wipe the stove down, but then my mom comes to stay and randomly cleans it up.
This time, I have been wondering about my central air conditioning unit. I am the only person in my family who has one, so nobody knows anything about it. It works fine but I just don’t know what to do about it: do I get it serviced every year? Should I call PG&E and have them come out to check it? I haven’t a clue.
Anyway, so my community is actually having PG&E come out and look at them and service them for free. My appointment is on Monday.
And once again, procrastination wins.
(I am seriously like the worst role model.)

I went through my yarn cubbies and pulled out all the random skeins of worsted weight yarn like so:
There is lots of fun yarn in that pile, including Malabrigo, Dream in Color Classy, Cascade 220 and even some Araucania. There is also some Berroco Vintage in dark purple and bright blue; the blue is leftover from my Vaila sweater.
I’m about to embark on some serious hat pattern making. I feel the need to knit some hats and knit them like the wind. I have a bunch of different ideas and since I have that patterning software I am going to write up some patterns. Should be fun (and eventually, profitable! :P).
First I plan on reknitting my alpaca rib hat (rav link). I’ve knit it twice and it’s easy but that was like 8 months ago and I don’t totally recall actual numbers involved. This pattern would be free because it is so, so easy. I also have an idea for another hat that I want to make in both worsted and fingering weight yarn that is more a beret style. That one will involve maths and a pattern growing out of the ribbing, so I’m still mulling it over.
I also need to start thinking about Sam’s yearly birthday hat. Man hats are so boring and Sam refuses earflaps (I KNOW, RIGHT??) so I really have to think about what I make. I think I have a pretty good idea but like the above hat, I have to mull it over.
Anyway, I also made some random crochet hexagons.
They aren’t for anything, though, just practice.
