Second Sock Syndrome

I need to finish this thing. I mean really. I figure if I did an inch a day it would be done by Christmas but I just can't seem to get cranking. Ugh. It took me a week to get 2 inches. Two measly inches. The yarn is great, I have time. I'm just a slacker I guess. There's always something distracting around here too. Right now I'm waiting to pounce on the mail lady. We got our neighbors mail yesterday and I've been waiting for a package that pony express says has already been delivered. So yet another reason I can't knit.

So I've finally figured out how to get going on the second sock. I mark where I'm currently stopped, then set a timer for an hour. I HAVE to knit during that time. I don't care if the house catches fire I will stay seated and knit. It works. In two days I've gotten the cuff finished and am now on the heel flap. If I keep this up I'll make the turn and be on the foot by Monday. *\o/*

I noticed some new info coming out about the cooling temps. It's freaking freezing here and pretty early in the year for this location. Of course the AGWs will be ramping things up but they might as well realize that even Mr. Hopeychangitude will be hard pressed to do anything with the deep recession we're in. And given just a bit more time this scam will become more apparent. I know quite a few people in the east coast that would love them some global warming about now.

In other news, Mr. Yes We Can is stacking his cabinet with Washington insiders, players and people he owes favors to from Chicago. There's your change. Like I said on a post in a social group, he now will have to make a decision about things and in the glaring light of the national and international stage, the media will not be able to protect him as much. No one placed on a pedestal this high can stay there and the only way to go is down. I'm gleefully waiting for the fall to begin.
