This was one of those days, I just didn’t feel like doing much of anything. I felt as though there wasn’t enough of me to get all done that I want to get done. First the walking takes at least 2 hours a day to get all my steps done. I’m behind in email, quilting, knitting, etc. Projects don’t turn out as good as I’d like, I need to get some seedlings transplanted and news seeds planted. I did the walking, a few other things and just sat in the sun with the socks I was knitting. They are now done up to the toe. And tomorrow will be a better day!
The machine and I worked on this a good share of the day. Tomorrow, I hope to trim it and take out extra stitches – the ones caused by miscommunicating with the machine. For now, I’m off to knit.
This weekend, the yarn ordered for my husband’s socks arrived. I am so unexcited. So this morning I got in most of my walking, fixed breakfast, washed the clothes including the sheets, and moved furniture to clean under it. Then I mopped two floors. After all that, I went out to the hoop house to see how the little job with the plywood was progressing. It wasn’t – it was on hold for ??? Since I’m such a great motivator “just let me do it, I’ll get it done”, I was dismissed to do something else. He has the job done and tomorrow I can bring some hay up to put around the potatoes that are tall enough. So back to the kitchen to make lunch, after which a rest was appropriate.
Does it sound like stalling. Yes, I was. However, these are things we do for people we love. Somehow, brown and more brown without even a pattern in the socks just doesn’t excite me and there is enough yarn for 3 pair. I think I might be finding a number of other “higher priority” things to do in between bouts of these socks.
