It’s that kind of day…….A green shake to start it off. I think my doctor may be correct in saying he thinks i have SADD, along with a myriad of other goings on. It is a cloudy, dank day and I’ve teared up twice this morning. Sooooooo, extra vitamin D, a green shake, a little action (run the cleaner, recyclables to the site, go to the bank…..have a lovely cup of coffee and knit with Lizz at Koco Java’s for a bit)……action is always better than inaction for depression and anxiety, even if it is in baby steps like throwing in and doing a load of laundry through to the folding and putting away stage. I saw a meme the other day that cracked me up…..”Laundry: washed and dried ….one hour…..folded and put away…..seven to ten business days”.
Yesterday was the last of @starryeyesali April vlogs. She uploaded it today. Now who will I have a cuppa with and start my mornings off with a smile ? It has been lovely getting to know her and her family through little bits of their daily lives. She and they are so charming……and of course, a knitter. At least she’ll be doing her regular podcasts.
Speaking of which….WTH is wrong with Youtube ? I know I have ‘subscribed’ to maybe….maybe….about 40 podcasters. I went on the other day and it said I had 928 subscriptions……..WHAT ??? So I started down the list and cracked up……some are anime, some are cooking, some are cars, movie trailers, musicians I have never heard of……like they were added by a toddler on crack (or my cat on crack). For the past few days I have been going through and destroying the delete button. I’m down to 500 and it’s insane.
Look what lovely yarniness came in the mail yesterday, all the way from the UK……from the delightful Amy Florence of Stranded Dyeworks. I ordered it from her shop….she is an amazing indie dyer.
I cannot wait to cast on some lovely socks. I have never used Aran weight and will have to go into the rabbit hole of Ravelry and see what recipes they have for that yarn. It’s a little heavier (but not a chunky) weight than worsted. I’m sure anything you can make with worsted can be done up in Aran.
Oh, oh, the sun just stuck it’s head out for a second. Maybe if I’m quiet and make no sudden movements, it won’t run off. Can you run the cleaner in slow motion ?
oh, look…………shiny
