oh you guys had four days on your own? Cool!

I was reading the list thinking, oh all those traffic jams with a toddler....but it sounds like you were sans toddler so that's bound to make it easier.

Phew, a busy 4 days. What a lot of trucks!
Glad you got *some* yarn along the way ;)

Go do your essay, the procrastination is the worst of it, once you get started you'll feel so much better...

And now I'm off to help Dotter with HER essay, which she's already had an extension on, and absolutely must be finished by tonight!

Sounds great except for the traffic jams, but that may have been bonus knitting time so I won't judge.

Good luck with the essay.
