Fish!

I didn’t get much knitting done yesterday. I was pouty, and I’m not sure why. I didn’t get much of anything done other than meals and weightlifting. The weights felt good, and brought me up out of my grumpiness temporarily, but it didn’t last. Monday is laundry day, and that was neglected as well. I’m sad to say that today my poor, sweet husband has no socks.

Nate is looking for a better job. His current employers are agents of the devil, (I have proof), and he’s trying to get out. Unfortunately, Seattle is currently a depressed market for designers, even handsome, charming, and incredibly talented designers :-), so he has expanded his job search across the country. There are a lot of design jobs in New York it would seem, and one of them contacted him yesterday. It’s all preliminary stuff right now, so we don’t know much about the job, but it still makes one think of what it would be like to move the home, kids, dog and fish all the way to NYC. I shudder, to be quite honest. I love Seattle. I love the people that are a part of my everyday life. I love living close to an abundance of my husband’s family. I love my little house. And for those of you who have been reading awhile, you all know how I feel about Dennis & Julie, and Gayle. Who knows what will happen? I just hope something good happens very soon. Regardless of whether I’m in Seattle, New York, San Francisco, or Jamaica, I can still blog!

To add some color to today’s post, I’ve snapped some photos of another passion of mine. Fish. My fish. I really love my fish. They are beautiful. Meet Lucias, Jane, and Alexander. (In that order). They are between 8 and 9 inches long right now.

Nothing exciting this morning, but that’s what I’ve got. Here’s hoping I have a better day today, am wildly productive, and earn myself some glorious “kick back and knit” time. Have a great day!
