Was it really only a little over a week ago that I was sitting on a balcony in Colorado, wearing a fleece jacket, knitting a wool sock and trying it on over another sock so my feet wouldn’t get cold? I think the recent 95 degree days must have fried my brain, because it seems much longer ago than that.
The good news is, with the long drive to and from Colorado, I almost finished the entire pair. I just have the toe to finish on one sock (ran out of yarn) and about half the foot on the other sock.
The bad news is, I have zero motivation to knit these days. I am busy with work, church activities, and community groups I am in… I find myself having some meeting or event every night of the week. About once a year I try to do a “purge” of extraneous commitments I have somehow managed to get involved with, but I’m not really sure what I want to cut out this year.
Probably what I should cut out is watching TV, but I really do find it relaxing to collapse on the couch at the end of a long day and just zone out for an hour or so. I always tell myself I am going to schedule downtime on my calendar, but it never really happens.
Resolved: I will put nothing on the calendar this Sunday… a total rejuvenation day. (I couldn’t quite call it a “rest day” because I know I have to do some tri training that day, but I’ll get it out of the way early in the morning and then – I promise I will really rest!)
It’s so hard to figure out how to spend your time. Sometimes everything is important and letting go is hard. Hopefully your Sunday will be a good day of rest.
I am with you. I really want to knit those socks and yet the wool, the heat, yuck. I’m reading a ton though.
From the photo, they look very pretty!
