Last day of vacation

It's always sad to wake up and know that it's your last day of being lazy. I was already thinking about going back to work on Saturday. I had a bit of a stress dream last night! I dreamt that one of my PMs told me I had to travel starting Monday. I don't even remember how long the trip was supposed to be, but I have a Dr. appointment on Tuesday and told him there was no way, I had to go to the appointment. His reply "You have to go". My response "I can't". 

I don't even remember what happened next. I might have woken up and realized it was just a dream, but how annoying is that!

I've been trying to wrap up things the last few days. Cleaning up the very messy house. My mom came over to help, and I really don't think I could have been motivated to do anything if it hadn't been for her. Thanks Mom!

I've also been finishing plying a bunch of single skeins of yarn. I've gotten comfortable enough that I'm geting around to experimenting.  I've tried spinning angora:

I've tried to add beads to my yarn (cool, but quite a pain until I figure out a better way):

I've started experimenting with a linen/wool blend:

And I've finished plying that silk I was working with earlier:

I do have a little bit of this fiber left to spin. I also have a little angora left. I might hang on to both of them and see if I can do something with them both.
