March fails

I had the best intentions of today being a productive day. Honest. I worked for an hour on an Industrial Relations assignment, finished that, went onto working on an HR Planning paper for an hour and then decided to take a break. At this point it went down hill. I decided to watch some Cake Boss and work on my knitting. Long story short, I decided that counting the number of stitches in a row would be a good idea because I hadn't done it in a few rows and low and behold I somehow added 10 (?!?!!) stitches! I think it's possible that I've actually just been +10 stitches the whole time and just didn't notice because I normally just count in groups of 10. After triple checking the count using some stitch holders, I decided it was time to rip out all of my work and start again but not without taking a picture first. I haven't actually ripped it out yet because it just breaks my heart, but ah well... probably after this post.
It doesn't look like I'm that far, but the knitting is really fine. Hrmph.

Needing another pick-me-up, I decided that it'd be a good idea to bake some chocolate chip cookies so we have something to snack on this week. While not the healthiest of snacks, I do like that they're preservative free at the very least so away I went. I got about 1/2 way through and realized we only had one egg instead of the necessary two. Against my better judgement, I decided to take a trip to Costco. Now we usually go to Costco sometime during the week and not a weekend afternoon. Today I was reminded why. Although there are way more sample ladies on the weekends, there are also about 10x as many shoppers strutting along and it's really hard to get in and out quickly (P.S. I also looked for mozzarella cheese to do a pasta dish tonight but the cheapest amount they sold it in was $12!!). What would normally take me 10 minutes ended up taking 45. Ugh. Stolen parking spaces even though I was signaling, being rammed with carts by people not looking. Ugh. Not a great experience.


Anyhoo so I arrive home and start unloading the groceries only to find Lenny is having a nap having just come back from a 26-km run in slushy slushy slush. So after unloading all the groceries myself, I get to the recipe and stupidly only add 2/3 cup of flour instead of 2 2/3 cup of flour. FYI, this is what your cookies will look like if you try that yourself sometime:
Well I'm off for round three of attempting to get into a better headspace to continue on this paper and spend some time practicing. Let's hope everything comes up peachy this time!
