busy week starts

 Thursday I leave town, but first I have to 

- finish sorting 12 soil samples (I got 4 done today, there are 12 left)

- this afternoon was Budget Committee

- this evening was CWF

- tomorrow night is the program at the museum

- Wednesday night is board meeting at church.

AND I have to pack, AND I have to probably mow my lawn before I leave. Tentatively, I do the packing Wednesday afternoon (if I can force myself to do eight samples tomorrow, I only would have to work Wednesday morning) and then maybe mow the lawn EARLY Thursday, shower, and get on the road. 

 Over the weekend I cleaned house - "enough" I guess. My house will never be uncluttered, that's not who I am as much as I might wish it to be (I like my stuff even as I wish my house were"barren" enough people could come over on short notice without me panicking). But at least all the hardsurface floors have been vacuumed and wetmopped, and I did some dusting, and I put some stuff away.

Tonight I did get a bit more done on the Book Lover's Mitts:

 I finished the base of the thumb gusset (on the left) and it's on a stitch holder until the upper part of the hand is done. 

I also have to start thinking projects; there's some yarn I will need to wind off for them.
