READING: Still working on The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen. I'm 25-33% in and I love it so far. Very well written, and particularly interesting in terms of character development.
WATCHING: Chris got a new Doctor Who DVD from Netflix last night, so we watched the first episode of that (I still need to watch the last 10 minutes or so, because I pooped out and had to go to bed).
PLANNING: I have two cool things going on this weekend. Tomorrow I'm going to the Seattle Aquarium with a friend and her partner, to see the octopus exhibit. Then on Sunday I'm going over to Churchmouse Yarn & Tea on Bainbridge, with some knitterly friends. Churchmouse is going to have a reception to kick off their showcase of customer renditions of Elizabeth Zimmerman's Fair Isle Yoke sweater. I recently completed my own rendition of this pattern, so I'm going to wear that (of course). I'm really looking forward to seeing a bunch of different color combinations.
KNITTING: I'm currently working on a dark green sweater for Chris. I'm about 6" into the body section. I'm knitting it using Elizabeth Zimmerman's seamless, bottom-up percentage system, and I'm planning to do the saddle shoulder yoke. This is my 3rd NaKniSweMoDo sweater (#1 was the Arwen cardigan I posted about last time--4 weeks ago!?--and #2 was the aforementioned Fair Isle Yoke cardigan).
RUNNING: I continue to make my way s-l-o-w-l-y through the Couch-to-5k plan from CoolRunning. It's going OK. I struggle with motivation a LOT, unfortunately, but I'm keeping at it. I just have to get past my motivational "tipping point," which roughly coincides with that point at which my body gets physically addicted to the exercise and it becomes harder to talk myself out of running (i.e. overtraining) than it is to talk myself into running. I'm looking forward to that day. Running is the best anti-depressant I've ever found (the prescription ones do me no good), and I really need that right now.
