There’s something about being unemployed and living alone (well, more or less, I do have a couple of cats) that makes one tend to neglect to notice what time and/or day it is.
For example, you oversleep a little bit one day, then stupidly have a cup of coffee around 8pm, and find yourself up till 6am knitting and reading blogs (yes, I do both at the same time; knitting continental means you don’t have to drop the yarn to use the mouse 😀 ). You shuffle off to bed around 7am because you just can’t keep your eyes open anymore, only to get a phone call at 10am from your brother, who was in town visiting mom and wants to see you for a little bit on his way back home (3 hours away). He doesn’t quite remember how to navigate the big city, so calls you every 5 minutes on his way, then spends about an hour with you, after which you stand no chance of going back to sleep (if you went back to sleep now you’d be screwed up for the rest of the week anyway). So you stay up as long as you can stand to, which turns out to be around 7pm.
Fast-forward to 3am, when you wake up with a headache. You get up, take some Excedrin, go back to bed. Sleep? Nope, not happening. Around 5:30 you give up and decide to go start that damn knitblog already, then knit until it’s time to get dressed (job interview at 9, but it’s really close by, so I can probably knit until 8:30).
So you see, it’s simple.
My goal is to post here as often as I knit, whether that’s every day, or however often it is. I also hope to knit every day, but that doesn’t always happen. Watch this space, though. I have ambition. And right now, no job to get in the way. 😀
