lots of stuff has happened this week, most of it pretty good.

last Sunday i went through the process of applying to the stocking department of a local grocery store, and i also finally dyed my hair, so i'm not longer blonde with inches of black roots. the color was supposed to look redder than it does, it mostly just looks dark brown, but i'm okay with it. it looks employable, which was kinda the point.

Tuesday i was mom as usual for knit night, and it was fun. Wednesday took Kyu out of town for a work trip, and it was stressful for him because his boss is prone to bouts of previously unimaginable idiocy, but also i panicked at like 11:30 because it felt so weird not feeling him in the apartment. like normally even if we're not talking, i can tell he's still around, but this was different so i made him text me close to midnight until i calmed down.

Thursday i had lunch out with Michelle, and late that evening Kyu made it back home. Friday was lunch with James, which was nice since we did our December lunch pre-Christmas so it had been longer than normal since we last saw each other. i think seeing him every day is what i miss most about working at Lone Star, but making do with monthly lunch dates is better than not seeing him at all.

yesterday Jenni picked me up so we could sew our block in time for the next quilt class, which we did. our method now is that she does the cutting and sewing since she's more precise there, and i do the ironing and pinning, and fetching and carrying if any of that needs to be done. we do both blocks at the same time assembly line style and it's faster than it was when we both did our own, taking turns on everything.
