The calm before... mild weather

As of tomorrow I'll begin my second week of officially working for the poetry center 15 hours a week, plus begin auditing an entry-level computer science course which meets four days a week. Unfortunately the yarn store owner doesn't need any other staff in any real sense, but I really like the ambiance of her store and she does want me to teach a class! I'm hopefully going to teach a class on knitting a Christmas stocking, using the pattern that my grandmother used to make me and all of my cousins the same stocking, but with our respective names on top. I made them for my then-stepchildren as well. So that's cool. I may see if there's interest in an informal group of people in choir who might want to learn to knit and maybe I could charge $10 a head for an afternoon of not-quite-one-on-one instruction. We'll see. One great bit of news that dropped into my email was from one of the art department faculty who I'd contacted about modeling- they do need models! And his assistant will get in touch with me. So that'll help in the 'ol money area as well and should be somewhat flexible. I don't know when the figure drawing classes are; hopefully not at the times I'm auditing the algorithms course.

So today was singing and a wee rest and typing up original fic and Pilates and now I'm going to settle in and re-watch "Lost in Translation" and knit. Maybe write a return letter to a friend; all pretty low-key. Just glad that I'll be out a bit more in the world beginning next week, though I am slightly intimidated about the computer science course. I've not taken anything vaguely math-oriented since college, and even then I managed to get away with the least math-ish courses: finite math and statistics.
