DPP #4: Over-committed edition

December 4, 2012 Marie Leave a Comment

I very nearly forgot to do a photo today, and with the natural lighting gone I had to make do with a pretty horrible photo. Sigh. Tomorrow I’ll do better. Maybe. If I don’t forget, again.

So, I most definitely over-committed when I decided I could knit 2 hats a week. I wasn’t taking into consideration any other things that might happen in life. Like late work nights, or feeling awful and not feeling up for knitting. Or, you know, housework (contrary to what I often dream, laundry doesn’t get magically washed around here, nor are the dishes magically clean as soon as you eat them, floors don’t automatically vacuum themselves, etc).

Actually, ignore that last paragraph, because it’s bullshit. I haven’t kept up with them because, yes, I’ve had Real Life™ things going on that have limited my time. But let’s face it – like everything in life, if you really want to do something you’ll make the time. And I guess after the first 4 hats I just lost interest. And a lack of interest breeds procrastination, which mutates into full-blown giving up. And that’s where I am, 5 hats in to my goal of 10. I’m giving up. My heart isn’t in it anymore. It’s just stressful, and that’s a lot of negative energy going into hats that were meant to be a good thing. The hats will be taken to work and dropped in the donation boxes and I’m moving on.

Welcome

Pardon the garden. A phrase I’m most likely to utter anytime anyone visits the house during the growing seasons of spring through fall. Sure, there are pretty flowers and delicious veggies in there somewhere, but they might be a little hard to find amidst the mess of overgrown grass, dandelions, and weeds that have found their way in there and haven’t been pulled.
