Trudge trudge

Things that are good:

• I am healthy again! I think. I woke up this morning with no burning throat, chest pain, stomach pain, or anything other than a minor runny nose. I WIN.
  
  
• I made chocolate chip cookies to bring in to class, and there are loads left over. They are tasty.
  
  
• Neil comes back home tomorrow.
  
  
• I made zaofan a pair of socks that he liked.
  
  
• I am having fun shopping for a baby knitting pattern for drlynch's expecting friends. I am wondering whether I should find an ultra-soft cotton instead of wool because of that whole "baby skin gets irritated" thing. I do have a pretty blue yarn that is machine washable wool, but I wonder about whether it will itch for baby. I am also told that infants cannot see colors other than black or white or red, so maybe I should just give up and knit something in white cotton.
  
  In any case, I like this kimono pattern (and this one) because wrapping things mean that the garment can be adjusted, which means it's more likely to get some use before the baby grows out of it in an eyeblink.
  
  The other thought is just being boring and knitting a blanket.
  
  
• There is a bio midterm next week, and that will give me something to concentrate on slaying instead of being stressed out over classmates.
