affrecaNot really headachy today. I have been randomly cold, so busted out the latest fingerless gloves and shawl, while pushing my sweater sleeves to my elbows.
There's a site that I joke that I changed jobs three years ago to get away from. According to my accomplishment tracking file, I've reviewed 13 reports for that site since April. I can't seem to get out of being the field team lead for the semiannual sampling, despite the fact that I barely slept for four nights during the last event, leading to a massive migraine the night I found out my grandma died. Apparently I'm "efficient". But how to figure out how to get out of the duties that are physically wearing because my maladapted stress responses and yet still be given fun work? Is it fair to try to do so?
But I did manage to look like I needed work enough to be assigned another project. I'm trying to learn about it by reading the document I'm reviewing. And not let myself get distracted by figuring out how to get to the site if I ever get the chance to travel for oversight. (Note: I was late to driving. Two things scare me - driving in real cities and driving in mountains. The closest airport to the site is Newark.)
Kitten continues to be adorable, and rarely referred to by name.
Despite the fact I have multiple knitting projects sitting around (blue/orange sweater and shawl), I'm mostly spinning in the evenings. The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty is currently holding my attention enough to watch while spinning. My current project is gemstone sampler pack from Hipstrings, spinning to fingering weight. All very lux blends, and the geologist in me loves the names.
