✻ I've decided to start playing my harmonica again. Haven't picked up the thing in ages, because it's hard to play it here; it's hard to find somewhere where people won't hear me and tell me to cut out that racket. But... the weather is getting warmer. And if I do it in the garage, then maybe. It's only now that I actually considered this. Or maybe I thought about it a while back, but never acted on it. I should. Not sure what I'll do for tabs, though. My mobile isn't exactly easy to read from. Could always print them off, though, I guess. Really, what I really want is to get good enough to memorize a few songs and play them smoothly enough that it doesn't sound terrible. (Might as well start small, right?) UGH I'm so damn rusty, though. This is gonna' be painful.

✻ I have about a million and one knitting-related complaints right now, but the main one currently is: it is practically impossible to get knitting supplies in this town, and it makes me so cranky. At least, it's impossible to get the stuff that I like. Bamboo/wooden needles? Nah. And even in aluminum, they never have the size that I need. And let's not get started on yarn... grrrr. Needless to say, I might need to switch my latest projects to either circs or straights instead of DPNs (I just need longer needles, and either would do, I think) and the... result was ordering online even when I really prefer not to. Especially because (predictably) I ended up buying some yarn, sight-unseen and untouched. It's some self-striping fingering weight stuff and - it was on sale, okay, and there are some projects I want to try with it, don't look at me like that!

✻ Due to the fact that Friday is a stat holiday, I'm working slightly different hours than originally scheduled. On the one hand, it's nice that I'm getting a slightly reduced-week. On the other... ugh, I'm not looking forward to playing catch-up. Hopefully that won't happen. Man, this month is just flying by, what on earth is going on?! (...I say that every month, don't I?)
