Many long months of coming to terms with serious illness. Trying to do everything the Doctors are telling me to do. Not that I agree totally with what they all say, but knowing there are many more months of dealing with all of this.
On top of everything, also dealing with my mothers breakdown and her Alzheimer's at 86. She is in fairly good physical shape, so it makes it hard for her and me.
Being tired all the time is not conducive to creating. Maybe for some superhuman members of the human race, but I am also still dealing with a full-time job ( I know...I am lucky to have a job...especially with health insurance), offspring in college and their loser father.
I did start an Afghan in the beginning of August, trying to work on it while my mother was recuperating. But I realized it was totally screwed up, tearing the whole thing out. Definitely no concentration skills being used during that wonderful episode of my life !
I want to find a better pattern and use, yes folks...Red Heart...so sue me...I don't have a high paying job...so I buy what I can at this point !!! It is the Marrakesh colorway and it cheers me up.
I also need to start the Victorian shawl that uses aran yarn and my oldest knitter child and I are going to attempt to knit each other lace shawls. I, with all the spare time I have, and the knitter child in grad. school !?!? (No...I don't mean grade school). Masters in Ed., although what use that will be in this country, only our wonderful leaders can tell us. Not that I ever expect the truth out of any of them...
But, I digress...I will post pictures of my progress (I swear I did not change the type just to drive people crazy...I have a habit of hitting keys that I did not mean to hit!) when I start these projects.
Now I try to sleep...gotta be awake for the job !
