...i took a sabbatical. will you forgive me? my life appears to go
spinning out of control, and because i try to live simplicity, something
has to give. usually, it's whatever takes the most time. well, that,
and darn facebook. somehow that has drawn me in... i am trying to
figure out how much i really want that smart phone buzzing in at me and
distracting me. heck, it's bad enough that my chemical makeup makes me
jump from one thing to another without completing the task i first
started, without that buzz interrupting me.
.... i will tell
you, if i put on some great adele music, or something bluesy, or twangy
and sit down at my dining room table with a blank canvas and some paint,
you would think the world stopped. it does for me. painting is
something, maybe the ONLY thing i can do anymore without jumping up to
do something that i'm sure i've forgotten. i often become so focused
that i forget to eat or drink. thank the lord, the pug looks to me with
her big brown bulging eyes, "feed me mama, i'm hungry."
well, while i was gone i took up some knitting. i've always crocheted. i can whip about just about anything in less than a month, and that includes a queen sized comforter. but my elbow gets this twinge thing going. and i was spending way too much in yarn, so knitting. come to find out, it's not normal to decide to do a cable knit fisherman like sweater in expensive red cotton for a first project... HA! noone told me, so i did it! and it's mighty pretty. can't wait until this sunny florida weather turns brisk so i can sport it on a daily basis. .... well off to watch a netflix movie, babysit, knit, paint, crochet, bake, oops, i promise to remember to eat!
