but that doesn't stop me from going beyond them constantly. It's a blessing and a curse really. And yesterday I realized that I have once again gone beyond and was heading for a breakdown. So I decided to do something about it. Last night I sat on the couch, watched TV and worked on Clapotis. I'm not much further than I was in the last picture, but here's an updated photo:
Anyway, I actually slept well last night. I haven't been sleeping because I've been upset about Pete's Dad, who has been fighting cancer for almost three years. We have been very fortunate to have the extra time with him, but I'm afraid that we may not have much more. It's very difficult to write about, so I'll leave it at that.
And there is also good things going on. My sister is getting married in March, and that means that I have been busy with all the usual wedding stuff. The shower, dress fittings, buying gifts, finding something to wear to the shower, etc. . . You get the idea.
And there is work. It's one of my busy times of the year (although Pete will tell you that there is really no slow time anymore) and some nights I am working until 11pm.
Oh, and don't forget the Knitting Blogs Web Ring! I've been spending way too much time on that. And it's the one thing that I can easily cut my time on. After all, it's my ring and I can do what I want with it. As a result, I have closed it. I'll re-open it now and again. Probably on a whim. And when it starts to annoy me and eat up my time, I'll close it again.
So, this morning I read a book to Maddie and I'm looking forward to doing a little work and then trying to relax with a little knitting this evening. Tomorrow we are off to see Pete's Mom & Dad up in Cary and Sunday is the bridal shower. It looks like it's going to be a busy (and possibly stressful) weekend, but I'll get through it.
