Life is good

Well not much new to report other than things seem to be a bit calmer at least today. Work was fine there was a slight shift in focus and I wasn't the one who go it. That was nice.

I'm close to finishing up my knitting for my swap pal and then I can get it in the mail. YEA. I actaully think I have most of my package shopping done and I just need to put them all together and send them off. This is going to be great. I will be happy to get those sent out. I had a ton of fun shopping for all of my swappes which was the best part.

I got the prettiest most lovely sock yarn - Malabrigo sock yarn - in Velvet Grapes MY FAVORITE. I can't believe how lovely it is. I can't wait to jump into it. I need to learn how to knit socks on circulars. Bye for now.

Sometimes life's a mystery

Well its true that they who deserve it will get what they deserve, RIGHT? Struggles again nothing thats going the sink the boat but man its hard to like a job when they keep doing nasty things to you. Poor me I know. I venting right now because no one can talk back to me and tell me I'm being a victim. Some times begin a psychotherapist is rough especially if things get turned around on you. No one wants to stand by and help out but that is what is always expected of us. I know poor me. UGH

I need a new job in the worse way. If the economy was in better shape that would make things a bit easier but either way I have to move on. I teach my clients stand up for what is right, don't let others determine your self worth and yet here I am on the other end of it and boy does it suck. Ok I'm done. I'm going for a good cry and then shapering my interviewing skills. I'll be ok, the worse thing that could happen is someone to pity me. I sometimes just need to know I'm not the only one.

Things are the nutty

Ok the world is getting nutty. I love it but it can get overwhelming too. Work is good and so is the knitting. I have to go I'm typing illegally.

thinking about knitting

Ok its been a busy weekend. I had a client misbehave and I had to go into work to help calm the situation. So with all of that going on I've done good with my knitting. Does thinking about knitting count as actually doing it? Its been busy but I did get my swap partners stuff started. So I'm happy about that. Its a quick knit so I should be ok. I also got 2 packages out in the mail this weekend so that's not bad either. Now I need to go and make dinner. My back is flaring back up and making up unhappy but nothing a bit of wine can help.

Motivation

Ok I'm suppose to be motivated right? Actually its not like I'm not motivated its more like I'm happily distracted. Life is good right now and so is work. Things are calming down.

I've been part of numerous swaps and love all of them. I think I have figured out that putting the package together is more fun than recieving. I really have fun "stalking" my parter and getting to know them. Then buying things I hope they'll love. Now once the package is sent I have to remind myself that I did my best. There is a part of me that wonders did I get it right, did I send enought, will they like it. But that is what its kind about. You can tell those who really put alot of effort into and those who just throw things in a box. I haven't had one of those boxes in a while. Ok I must go back to what I should be doing.

I got it back at least somewhat

Ok I'm back. I have worked on the slippers and figured out the problem. Yea. I can't wait to get the other one done, washed and dried. They really look like they will pretty nice. I think next time I might try doubling up the yarn and see what happens.

We've had a nice weekend. Stayed at home for most of it which I loved. I like home, home is nice. I don't like always being on the run which is a problem because my husband loves it. But I was able to convience him that a weekend at home would be helpful to all of us and he agreed, thank goodness. I got things done and had fun doing so. I didn't necessarily get caught up but I got things done I've been thinking about for a while. I wish I had about 10 more weekends like this one so I could get completely caught up. But I'm glad to have this one.

Lost that loving feeling

I've kind of lost that loving feeling for my knitting right now. Its hard for me to get excited about it so I think I might take a little break.

Ok the break is over and I have to figure out why I'm avoiding my slippers. I think its the part I'm stuck on. I can't figure out the strap. I can't see it in my head so I just can't figure it out and I think that might be what's holding me back. Ok now that I have that all figured out I get just jump back in and follow the directions even if they don't make sense.

Other than that I've having a ton of fun with my swaps. I'm in a few (no I'm not going to mention how many) so its fun to follow all of them. I have it down to a science right now. Or at least that is what I tell myself. One thing I am starting to figure out that no matter how great the LYS is I still have to order most of my items online. Which is totally cool I just find it interesting. Yesterday I made a few purchases for a few of my upcoming swaps. I like the feeling that I have some items on hand. Ok I better go now.
