What I Did With My Extra Hour YesterdayEasy Weight Loss

(apparently, actually scheduling this post for publishing wasn't one of the things...)

I don't know why, but when the time changes in the fall and we get back the hour we lost last spring, it always feels like the first day has way more than just one extra hour in it. Maybe it's because I can be floofing around looking at earwarmer patterns on Ravelry, only to check the time to see that it's just 9:15 am! What is usually a guilty pleasure at wasting time scrolling through patterns when I could simply be knitting wasn't - I'd satisfied my search quest and still had the entire day ahead of me.  So, along with some normal things like boring kitchen cleaning and laundry, I also:

Knit on this hat:

Cables!!  

Now, cables aren't particularly hard, but you do have to count your rows and then use a cable needle when you get to the cable round, but after so. many. months. of not knitting due to brain malfunction, it was a marvel to see this hat progressing.  Side note:  I've been slowly tapering off the Gabapentin and was on 600mg/day when I began this hat; today I start my last week of Gabapentin with 300mg and then I am DONE.

I can watch this on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac computer...but can't figure out how to watch on our TV, ironically.

Watched the first three episodes of The Morning Show on Apple+ TV, which I didn't know I had until I got an alert on my phone informing me that a free year was included with my new phone.  That was a neat revelation, and I loved the new show.

Transcribed a conversation that our Nest camera captured on Halloween night.  Backstory:  Our street is very hit-or-miss when it comes to getting trick or treaters, and since Jeff was out of town, I decided to forego handing out candy.  I turned off all of our outside lights and didn't have any lights on where they could be seen through the front door windows.  At one point the doorbell rang and Paco shot off my lap to bark his way to the door.  Later on I watched the camera footage and cracked up at their astute logic regarding Paco's barking: 

(kids run up to door)
Ding Dong it!
(princess rings doorbell)
(Paco barking)
A dog!
(serious faces)
That'll wake them up and then they will give us candy.
(giggling)
(more dog barking)
(girl looks up)
They have a security camera.
(they all run away)

Misinterpreted Paco's tap tap tappy toes for wanting to be let outside numerous times before finally realizing that he was leading me to his empty water dispenser - which, to my defense, is located right next to the back door, and I haven't been the person filling it in months thanks to my back - but poor dog, he was thirsty and I just kept making him go in the backyard.

Livetracked my blogger friend Darlene, who was running the NYC Marathon - her very first - yesterday!   I'm so impressed with what she accomplished; congratulations, Darlene!!
