This is half for my own head clearing, and half as a "if I'm not in communication, there's a reason" explanation.

I have 5 days left to finish knitting the Great American Aran Afghan in order to make it for the state fair. I have 1.5 squares to knit and block, all 20 to sew together, and about 80% of the border yet to go.

So far this week, I have knitted walking down High Street to a movie at the Wexner Center (yarn in backpack, working border on small circular needles--I'm more coordinated than I thought) and in the dentist's chair (much to the amusement of everyone who worked there, though I wasn't able to do it while they were actually working on me) as well as my normal during-movie and in-bar knitting.

If all goes the way it's looking, I may also be knitting at a bowling alley, our knitting spa day, and my book club in order to make the deadline. I wonder how much more knitting in public I have to do before I become an official Short North street character?

Anyways, the schedule for the next few days goes like this:

tonight:
-knitting
-perhaps Rebel without a Cause at the Ohio Theatre

tomorrow:
-Rebel... if I don't see it tonight
-knitting
-pick up bridesmaid's dress from tailor

Saturday:
-knitting
-cooking if I think I can do spa day
-Top Hat at the Ohio Theatre
-Ohio Theatre tour
-bowling in evening

Sunday:
-knitting spa day if I have enough done to work on it with other people present (and really, who am I kidding? I'll probably want to show off!)
-knitting, or more hopefully, sewing the damn thing together

Monday:
-final day for sewing up
-potentially book club, but it doesn't look good (when will I read the book??)

Tuesday:
-drop off afghan at fairgrounds by 7 pm, along with two other projects (oh yeah, one needs re-blocking)
-pick up someone from airport??

Wednesday:
-Stitch n' Bitch (I'll get to start a new project!!!!)
-catching up on sleep!

Thursday:

And somewhere in there, I owe several people phone calls, and coffee and emails and such. And oh yeah, I have a full time job too.
