liviconnorHome again after a big gallumph.
I had big funs out with my farm friend-family. I also got bitten by their potbellied big, who goes by Pablo. Kind of xenophobic, and instead of ignoring me while he went from his crate to the yarn, he went into the living room one day and bit me while I was preoccupied. Didn't break the skin or anything, but I do have a lovely pig-bite bruise on my leg now. Getting bitten by Pablo is kind of a rite of passage, though. Everyone who visits or lives with him for any length of time gets bit.
In terms of big yarnie geekness, I spun a whole ball of nice yarn, and two weird little ones. I got a great deal better this week, just with all the practice, so I'll see if I can procure more roving. Preferably for free. Maybe I'll shave someone's sheepdog. They have long, floofy hair, right? So they're totally possible. I tried a spinning wheel, but it was apparently the hardest kind of wheel in the world- they didn't know this before they bought it- so I kind of failed. I got a wee tiny bit, then went back to my drop spindle.
And after a truly stinktastic ride back, in a bus that smelled like the chemical cleaners they use on porta-potties, I'm home. Shopping and trip prep galore, before the new adventures. The excitement for China is setting in: I'm getting psyched. I can so totally do this. I dunno how, but I can and I will and I will come out on top. Totally.
Totally.
