Things to do before Easy Week

janestarzAfter two weeks busy with work I finally get a break and another easy week coming up. Somehow it feels like whenever they do, I'm so busy catching up that by the time I get to plan fun stuff with friends, people drop over from pneumonia and I have to work extra shifts.
This weekend will see me at the last Maerquin Short Adventure of the year, playing Yfke the archer. I hope the weather will be somewhat dry, but we'll see. My coat has been treated with waterproofing spray, but it's only cotton after all.
As for the rest, I need to plan trips to various caretakers (GP, dentist for a check-up, skin specialist for a laser treatment). There's also homework to be done: tracing my new pattern and finishing the hem of my dress so it's really really done. *squee*
Personal goals for next week are to start on another mundanewear project. I still have a half-circle skirt planned with a brown poppy fabric. There's also another dress just like the one I made for school in the planning, but I need to alter the pattern a bit first and add a real sleeve (it's no use having two exactly the same dresses, now is there?) but I can do this after tracing my homework so I've got all the pattern mashing done with in one go.
As for knitting goals, I would like to finish my first ever sock -- a ghastly knee-stocking for a gnome. I'm not sure whether I'll try my hand at the second one, or just take it all off the needles. I've also bought yarn for a present for my mother, so I need to knit a test-swatch. I'd like to try my hand at ajour, it seems simple enough and I've got knit-two-together down to an art.
If I'm not cycling to work every day next week, I'll take up my morning walks again. It felt good being complimented by Arto that I was getting slimmer, it's a trend I'd like to continue and perhaps it helps with the dreaded winter depression that's creeping up on me.
And there was something about housekeeping too. Vacuuming, doing dishes... ah well. I'll see if I remember when I do. *wink*
