And I have have lots of reasons. Really. I do. So, here they are.
1. I got a new job.
2. That new job has long hours 4 days a week, and I am still getting used to them.
3. The whole family was sick this weekend. Really, really sick.
So, those are my reasons. I am hoping that I do get used to the hours at the new job. I know that I will because this last week wasn’t as bad as the first week. So far, I really like this job. Mind you, it isn’t what I want to do for the rest of my life. However, it is interesting. I feel like a part of a team. I like the people that I work with so far. I will say that I never felt like I really fit in at my last job. I always felt like they didn’t like or respect me on iota. That is not a good feeling. I am glad that I don’t work there any more. I can tell you that I am working at an out patient mental health facility. It is sort of like what I did in the military. So many of the things are the same that it is a bit like going back in time. I didn’t realize how much I missed working in this type of setting. It is almost comforting. Like finding something that was lost.
I have been working on Green Gable. I am almost done with the increases (that is one of the perks of the job – I do get to knit a bit while I am there). I knitted a cotton wash cloth during some time when I wasn’t feeling up to knitting anything else. I really don’t know what to do with that. I feel like giving it away because it is really pretty, but I just don’t think that I would ever use it. Oh well, I will just keep it until I figure out what to do with it.
I have been a slacker in the socktopia department. Really, I haven’t felt the urge to knit socks in a little while. Well, I do, and I don’t at the same time. I am sure I will get back into the swing of it. I do have some more sock yarn that I want socks from. There are a few really cute patterns on the site for members, and I have really fallen in love with them. I just think they might be a bit beyond me. I am intimidated. I still want to knit a pair of Jaywalkers. They are definitely next on the list for when I start another pair of socks.
The little one is doing better today. On Friday he lost his voice all day. He also slept almost the entire day. I have to admit it was nice in a way because you could hold him and stroke his little face. I never get to do that anymore because he is always on the move. The only thing we could get him to eat all day was bacon. Strange, I know. He still doesn’t want to eat anything. Just drinking chocolate milk. I know his throat is sore, and I keep giving him a little tylenol. It seems to help a little.
I have feeling better today than I did yesterday. Not great. But well enough to knit. That is something.
