The Gold Is In Jeopardy

I don't think I'm going to medal in the Knitting Winter Olympics. I don't think I can get the blanket done by tomorrow night.

I have mixed feelings. Part of me says, just go for it - if I knit obsessively over the next two days, I could probably finish ... and that's part of the point of all of this, striving to do more, push yourself, find a new personal best, just like the Olympians.

But on the other hand, well, I do have a life. I have other things I both have to do, and want to do, this weekend. And if I do them, it's doubtful I'll finish the blanket in time.

I got behind because of the stupid day job this week. This was a quintessential week from hell, and I came home every night completely brain dead and exhausted. I was incredibly disappointed because I didn't get to watch either of the ladies figure skating competitions, the main thing I look forward to in Olympics. They only showed one or two skaters during 'prime time,' then saved the most likely medal contenders for late, after 11:00 - and both nights I was so incredibly exhausted I couldn't stay up to watch it.

That's also why I haven't gotten in as much knitting time as I'd hoped - too tired, and going to bed early.

However, finishing is not out of the realm of possibility. I'm close, very close. So I guess it'll come down to the wire - I'll keep working on it when I can this weekend, and see where I get by tomorrow night.
