Big storms last night - a student reports that her parents lost a storage building and a 75 year old oak tree. Nothing much here, except the power went off around 11:30 (I woke up because my fan stopped) and stayed off until 1:30. (I know how long it was off because I really couldn't sleep during that time, thinking "I can't fall asleep because then the clocks will be messed up and my alarm clock won't go off on time.") Sigh. I need to replace the little battery operated alarm clock I used as a back-up in case of power outage (and which I can't use any more because the "time set" knob broke off).

I hunted around in my yarn closet last night and found the "unacceptable" Emu DK. And this is how faulty a person's memory can be - I remembered it as a pale yellow-green, bright turquiose blue, and sky-blue combination. In fact, it is dark muted purplish blues with a very small amount of a blue-green. It's really odd because I can so totally picture the color combination that I thought it was in my mind...I can even see the Elann "color chart" in my minds' eye with the color combination on it. It's truly weird. I almost started hunting again, thinking "that yarn HAS to be in here somewhere!"

Not much knitting progress, still doing the sleeves of the Lightning-Bolt family sweater.
