I finally, finally did a tiny bit of knitting tonight. Okay ... a tiny bit. Like, one row on a dishcloth. But just finding a project, and getting it in my hands, was like bliss. I would have done more, but the minute I started on it, I remembered something else I wanted to do ... which resulted in the rest of the St. Pat's portion of this post. But I'll get back to it. As I said, it's a dishcloth, but hey - it's knitting, it's small and portable and mindless, and I'll take it.
The band played out all weekend for St. Patrick's Day. Saturday they were at Lannigan's in New Castle, PA.
Sunday afternoon they were in the Youngstown St. Patrick's Day Parade (sorry for the slightly fuzzy photo - it's a video capture, as things were moving too fast for both video and still pix).
Sunday afternoon they were at the Meigh Eo in Youngstown.
Looking great, sounding great ... as always.
Just a side note, I noticed my last post was about my heating concerns. Well, Dominion finally got my billing information posted online, and my first month's useage was $107. That's fantastic! Although it was only 3 weeks, not 4, and part of them were warm, not all of them were - the first week and a half or so was bitter cold, and that was also when we first moved in and for about 3 or 4 days there was a thermostat problem causing the furnace to rapid cycle, coming on and going off every mintue or two, for days until I could get someone out to look at it.
I'm encouraged. If the bill was only $107 for a period incorporating the bitter end of February, then I think that even in the coldest months, when we fix the insulation and other issues, the worst of the bills won't be too unbearable. Even if the useage doubled in the worst months, that would still only be $214 for the very worst of winter - and that's not at all unbearable, considering it's budgeted over the whole year. So I'm encouraged about that.
I did some work in the Imaginarium last night, unpacking some boxes, putting some things away. It's shaping up nicely. I can't wait to get an entire weekend, or at least an entire day, to spend time up there. Sigh. Not for awhile yet - this weekend, we'll be back at the old house, still packing and moving. I cannot wait till this is over, and we can just focus on the new place.
