For all the knitters out there that struggle to find circular needles with good joins and flexible wires with no memory, I can not say enough good things about Chiaogoo Red Lace needles. I switched my sleeve from a Knitter's Pride Royale to a Chiaogoo and the project is now flying. No more struggling at getting the stitches onto the left needle from the cord. Sleeve 1 still has about 2" to go before I start decreasing, since I didn't knit at all yesterday. I'm hoping to have the first sleeve finished on Saturday.
I got my work schedule for the rest of this workweek from my new store yesterday, and I do work on Sunday, so my wallet will be happy. Then on Monday I have a short day so that I can attend a video call about the beta test I'm participating in. Super stoked about that starting. I can't wait to meet the other participants and see what this new platform looks like. The creator is focused on building a community and I commend her for filling this gap in the crafting ecosystem of the 2020's. Yesterday I applied to be recertified for my Pharmacy Technician certification. It was approved when I checked this morning, so I can rest my mind for 2 years on that front. Now I have a fresh certificate to take to my new store to hang on the wall. My promotion went into effect yesterday, so I'm now a CPhT Lead. Unfortunately, that isn't an option on the name tag generator. I am excited to get to work on Sunday morning. Tonight I work almost until close with one of my favorite pharmacists. I will miss our Friday nights together, as we were commonly scheduled these shifts together. I think I will get pizza and cannolis to celebrate the bittersweet ending. The weather is supposed to get pretty bad here in Rochester, NY, which is good because it keeps people at home and out of my store.
This weekend I am planning to get my nails done, knit, do laundry and work on the bedroom reorganization. We also have a birthday dinner planned for my brother-in-law Saturday night. One of the difficult things about working with split days off from my job, is that I have to try to squeeze a whole "weekend" into Saturday. And my new store's hours make it so that I work later on Sundays, but not by much. Monday-Wednesday I get home in time to eat dinner with my family for a change. So all is good in the Shannanigans household.
