What happened to August

It was a lost month. There's been nothing to report in new Scotches because it seems to increase snoring (is that TMI?) so I've mandated a decrease (okay, a stoppage) of drinking (and I'm sleeping better now, thank you very much).

And as to knitting, I hurt my hands lifting a big heavy box of pots and pans and couldn't knit for three weeks. And I couldn't exercise because the one time I don't take the time to stretch after working out, I pulled a hamstring. It's still not recovered.

Although my Revival sweater has been making some progress:

This is an old picture of the sleeve cap. I've actually joined the fronts, and knit the collar band two and a half times (yeah, two and a half times), and I'm ready to separate the sleeves out and knit the body. Oh, and I also soaked and blocked what I had to ensure my sleeve caps were long enough.

The biggest change though, has been Bub. Originally we'd signed him up for K12 (an online, public charter school). Then we switched to Dehesa. While this was going on, it literally took us the entire month to get shipping labels to return all of K12's curriculum and electronic equipment. And then we chanced upon an open house and threw everything out the window and decided to enroll Bub in a private, Mandarin-immersion school. It's good though, he'll get three and a half hours of Mandarin instruction every day in the language, math, science and geography, and because they said he could join their first grade class, he also gets a hour of Spanish. Add German school on Saturday mornings, and I think his schedule is full (this is without extracurriculars). We're pulling him out of Sunday Chinese school--no reason to send him to that on the weekend if he's getting it "at school".

We shall see if there's more posts in September.
