So I just realized it’s only been about three months since I last updated this blog. It’s not that my life has been so boring that I have nothing to say. Just the opposite! Things have been crazy busy, but in a great way.
As most of you know, I began my new job in August. I’ll admit, the first several weeks were a bit shaky. I had my few moments where I would close myself up in a dark room and inhale a bag of chocolate while wondering if I was going to survive my new job.
Fortunately, thing settled down and I settled in. Now I couldn’t be happier. I love my job, I love the people I work with. The next big step in my life will be finding a new place to live that is closer to work.
Knitting has unfortunately fallen down on my priority list. By the time I get home from work (usually around 6pm), I’m tired, hungry, and just want to snuggle with “the kids” (my dog and cat) after being gone for 12 hours. This may change once I move closer to work, but that also means I’ll be further away from the knitting group! I don’t even think I’ve made it to knit group in a few weeks. I thought I’d finally be able to make it this week, since it was school break week and I could stay up later, but ended up filling in for someone at the public library that night. Maybe another time, but it’s difficult because once I get home at night now during the week, I just don’t want to have to go out again!
The last knitting project I actually completed was some mini Christmas stockings. My original plan was to knit enough for all my volunteers at the school (I have about 15) and fill them with chocolate, but I got behind and couldn’t finish them all on time. So I instead gave them to my family for Christmas presents. I still gave chocolate to my volunteers.
I just started working on a pair of socks a few weeks ago. I think I started them the last time I made it to knit group. Although there’s still a few months before the end of the school year, I’m contemplating knitting small gifts for my parent volunteers. At least if I start them now, maybe I’ll get them done on time!!!
