Okay. I can officially stop taking on projects now. Please? So far I have, oh, let's do this in list form:

-- Sandstorm's Daughter (Original BigBang)
-- Mad Angel Blues (Novel BigBang)
-- Barton Hall Irregulars: Rites of Spring (Poly BigBang)
-- First Book (Nanowrimo)
-- Store Blog
-- Store Twitter
-- Spinning

And I'm pretty sure that's not even all the projects right now, but oh my god isn't that enough? I need a break. I need a rest. I need to actually go to bed early tonight. And not try to do three things at once like I'm doing. Although, really, one exercise in German is enough. And I still have one more shirt to boil.

Tie-Dye Diaries: 1/4 cup Urea, 1 pint water, divided into three portions of 1/2 tsp dye each in a squeeze bottle. Bright color, shallow saturation, which might also have to do with how I applied it, all on the surface. Set almost 24 hours. Rinsed for 5 minutes, then boiled for 15, then rinsed again. Some color washed out, not a lot, but definitely a less brightness.
Next time: Boil, then rinse.

Tired. Still need to do a fair bit of writing. But tired, and able to at least start winding down now, which I like. I can do this. I just need to breathe and keep going.

And I wish it would stop raining so I could bring my wheel home. I mean, I could throw a towel over it and carry it fromt he store to the car, from the car to the apartment, but I don't want to do that. It's a good wheel. It doesn't deserve that.
