Summer is close to half way over and the heat has really been zapping my energy. On the plus side, Albuquerque finally got more rain on 16th of July than it has in 80 years!! The previous record was set in 1933 at 0.71 inches. That may not sound like a lot but in a high desert in a drought that is a ton of water. Read more about it here and here.
As to activities, I am almost finished with two dresses...just need to find double/twin jersey needles for the hems. Finally finished Irish Sagas and Folk Tales by Eileen O'Faolain and am now reading Ross Poldark by Winston Graham, which is a much easier read than the former. I have done a little bit of knitting but nothing on the Aran sampler. Also got more of the Patons Silk Bamboo yarn for $3.00 per skein, which nearly 60% off the original price, as JoAnn's was clearing out their stock!
Swagbucks earnings have been going well and something I let the computer do while working on one of the many projects. This months points will focus on Amazon books...but I think I mentioned that in the last post.
I have attempted to retake the Johns Hopkins Coursea course "Getting and Cleaning Data" but cannot get the data into R properly. Thankfully this course repeats next month but this is frustrating me to no end as I cannot move forward with their other classes I wish to take.
This is probably why I am drinking more mini pepsis than I should be. I am up to 3 - 4 a day! Not good. :(
With any luck I will get more done before the start of the Outlander series.
