Day off of writing. Knitted a bit. I just can’t decide how long I want to make the cuff so about the time I think I’m ready to remove it I add a little more cuff and like it better. I think I’ll give it another inch. But gosh it feels good to knit!
Do you feel like you have more days of nada? Okay, I did have a game in my hand on my cell phone. Is that what I’ve become? That makes today a black hole. I do realize it is Sunday as we watched CBS Sunday Morning. But not getting to sleep until 4:30 this morning. Nighttime seems awake time. Day time is distraction time. Total immersion in everything. I didn’t even think this stuff was bothering me. Nothing is different for us, the retired couple for ages before the weird. But weirdness. Especially on shopping days. Though my husband and I don’t go being the oldest here. But my brother and son go. Guilt that they are going, and risking for us makes it harder. Worrying that we might not clean good enough or that they might have caught something while out. So from Friday on through the weekend the stress wipes me out and hits on my ADD so that I am hyperfocused on anything but the craziness.
Oh, and shoot! I just lost my daily posting goal. I didn’t know it was so close to midnight. So yeah. Monday. #WDIIA

Good intentions have just left the building, along with determination and commonsense!
Now all I have to do is find something else to do, as none of my pc games are doing it for me right now!
I’m so sorry. I rarely play because I know I get sucked in. I’m going to finish a sock tomorrow. I think I need my hands busy. And a fresh air walk in the yard. Our weather’s supposed to be nicer tomorrow. I hope we can find ways to stay healthy.
Trying desperately to catch up on jobs, so achieving something I suppose…
Good for you! Tiny wins may be all we get sometimes. That’s how I am trying to look at it. 😀
These days I welcome any forward movement!
Me, too!
No worries about missing your goal at least you are writing, I am so behind. 💜💜
Now we have no internet so I’m going to do a mini-blog using data. Then there’s nothing but writing. Trying to see the good. Hope you’re ok.
Oh! That’s not good, what’s happened to the internet!
Ah, rural life.
Darn it!
I know how you feel, yesterday was a ball I hole for me too, worrying all day wore me out. I did get a walk in at least. Today is already better, egg cups in the oven, a bill paid, and I’m showered, dressed and ready to go to the podiatrist for my check up later. 😊
Oh, good.🤗
It is fine to feel what you are going through. It will be okay in a few weeks, I hope.
My logical brain believes that in a few days, not just a few weeks or a month. I’m putting it to lack of sleep or learning new habits. I just need to relax my expectations and try new things to bring in some fresh ideas. Bring in the fun. I always do that when things get depressing. Find a way to make It fun.
Y’all creatives would like Diamond Art Painting, it’s very relaxing, you can listen to an audiobook while working on a project and then you’re relieving stress and accomplishing something beautiful at the same time!
My biggest problem is having money for my creations!
Self care days are important, too. Some days, the body and the mind ask for some time off. Merely playing videogames, watching tv with the family, or napping vigorously help me to recharge. Sometimes, we just need to live a day at a time, no matter how extreme it sounds, never feel bad for having some resting time for yourself.
By the way, what are you knitting? Crochet is my secret passion. 😉
You are right. I believe that, too. By the way, crochet used to be my fav. It stopped when the tension holding hand hurt all the time. Not the hook holder, which is weird, I think. At least with loom or needle knitting I can trade off hands so neither gets tire or hurty. I can not figure out how to left-hand crochet. I’m still trying.
Also, relatable, I learned crochet some years ago, as a safe Winter activity, because trekking or riding my bike when there´s snow or a thin layer of ice on the floor sounded quite dangerous. long story short, my wrist was bandaged for a month, after 2 weeks of learning. Hubby joked that crochet was an extreme Winter sport, indeed! I tried knitting, but my projects look awful so far. XD
I’m going to remember that one. Crochet the Extreme Winter Sport!!! By the way, I made knitted slippers with my cousins the same year I learned crochet. I think I could fix mistakes better in crochet. Now I mostly loom knit as I can fix mistakes there. I’ve yet to figure out how to with needles. 😁🤗
Hihihi, glad that you liked the phrase. I learned to do beanies with YouTube tutorials. I used to see the same videos once and again until I understood what witchcraft turned a simple thread into a pretty loop of stitches. My brother taught me last year to use the loom. So simple and cool!
YouTube is how I learned loom knitting. There are left-handed crochet tubes but my left hand is stupid! LOL! I love the witchcraft of thread!
