Oh, I'm all right, I'm all right I'm all right, I'm just weary to my bones
Hello! Come in! Have some tea with me. I just made a pot.
God, I'm tired! You wouldn't think working an extra hour or two a day would make that much difference, would you? But it does. So I've been unwinding by knitting in front of the tube, half-watching episodes of Due South. Oh, look! We're up to "Some Like It Red"! Paul Gross in a drag is fun every time.
*sips tea* Oh, that's lovely. Milk? Sugar? Here you go.
I had the pleasure of reading and commenting on an older story ofravurian's last night, and though it has rocked my orbit a little and made me reconsider the word "writer" in relation to myself, I also feel challenged by his virtuosity to discover something more authentic in my own words.
We've agreed to write "single-breath" stories (one unbroken exhalation of words, without prior self-editing) to one another's prompts, and my problem at the moment (besides lacking the time to write) is simultaneously wanting and trying not to write to impress the prompter, which results in...self-editing! Before a word goes on the screen.
*waves atravurian*
Work will slow down again in another few days and I might resume living in my right mind. Meanwhile, here, have another cup of tea while it's hot.

Exactly. I used to be afraid of knitting them--didn't think I could do it. (I've been the designated klutz since I was very young.)
Once I learned, so many things opened up for me. I actually love socks (though I'm slower than frozen molasses), because they are so very portable, but I don't for a moment think you need to be a sock knitter to love/enjoy/learn from Sock Summit. There's so much going on there, for any knitter, crocheter, and spinner. And probably the weavers, as well.
