This weekend is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when I was in Dallas I picked up a box of mooncakes. So I have been happily eating them for breakfast this weekend.
Buying six scored a box for gifting or displaying the mooncakes. I gave one to the friend with whom I stayed that week, ate one because I couldn't resist, so used the two open spaces to transport two of the Dragon Boat Decorations I made.
I also knitted two hats this week:
The one on the left is made of sock yarn leftovers, plus a ball of Kroy Sock that I purchased with a coupon, so inexpensively. The other is Wool-Ease Thick & Quick. Both patterns mostly made-up, although I based the righthand one on a pattern that came with the yarn.
Work was busy, especially the last couple of days, as it was not just monthend but end-of-quarter, and for some reason it seemed people forgot until Thursday that the last business day was Friday. So all of a sudden, everything was escalating and documents were flying around for signatures.
So naturally on Thursday I had to attend a donor thank-you and fundraiser for the North Carolina Opera. Luckily they had food and drink which served as dinner, and I could handle a couple easy things on my phone, then got back to work as soon as I returned home.
And the House of Representatives decided that they needed to stop their playground squabbles and agree on a budget measure to keep the government running for the next 45 days. Rather a near thing. Let's hope they decide to be more collaborative and get a final budget put together before time runs out.
