Eat.Knit.Sleep

I wanted to show some pictures today, most specifically of all the goodies by One Skein Secret Pal, had sent me but just as Oscar was "helping" me arrange the shot, my camera battery died. It is charging, and I should be able to show some pics tomorrow.

On the other note, I haven't been knitting so much. I need to weave in the ends of the scarf and block it so I can send it out to MY pal before I leave for London. (I love saying that) I did attempt to sew yesterday, but something is weird with my machine. When I first start sewing the bobbin thread bunches on the bottom of the fabric. I wanted to show a picture, but see above re: battery. There is no description of this in the troubleshooting in my manual so I don't know how to repair it. Any of you out there know?

In life news, things are going better with C. I do not know what the future holds, but I'm no longer dreading spending a week in London alone because my BF and I can't be in the same room together. We had a little tiff yesterday over Oscar's misbehaving -- Oscar alternately adores C or completely fears him, peeing all over himself without there being any change in C's behavior. Then, when C reacts to Oscar's behavior, OScar is even more scared and acts out more. Bleh.

Work is less hectic in August, but I need to get in gear, because in sales, your quota does not change if you take 6 days off in a month. Ouch.

Diet is going well so far, although I cheated today. I didn't have time to make lunch and my cafeteria had a delicious hummus and tabouleh pita wrap with a yogurt sauce. I ate all the tabouleh but only half of the pita so I don't feel so bad, plus I know it was all whole grains. In fact, this meal probably would be allowed in Phase 2, just not now. Same thing goes with the glass of wine I'm drinking currently, but C opened a bottle, so I'm skipping dessert. We'll see how the scale reacts tomorrow though. I'm down to 132.6 as of this morning which means, 2.2 lbs since Monday, and 4.4 lbs since Saturday. So far so good!
