Things I have learned in the past month

1. I don’t do well with posting if I don’t start the week out with a ton of posts all set to publish at daily intervals. Last week was such a crappy week for posting because I didn’t take the time on Sunday to work up the week’s posts. Even if I can get through Wednesday taken care of then I can deal with the rest of the week as it comes, but Monday and Tuesday posts HAVE to be done on Sunday.

2. Being sick REALLY sucks. Especially when you have to go in to work to get something done that can’t be done from home. And coworkers try to get you to go home because you’re hacking all over your desk, but the project isn’t done, so you can’t go…. ugh.

3. Cats know when you’re not feeling 100%. Ekho has been super kind to me. Not pestering me so much about food and on the day I stayed home he curled up under the covers with me to keep me warm. He’s a good kitty. I am glad we adopted him.

4. I only want to knit for family. I find that I am guarding my knitting time so zealously that friends who ask me to knit for them are finding a less than enthusiastic response. There are a few choice friends who count as family (Nametwinikin, I’m looking at you), but outside of family and chosen family, it’s just not worth the time.

5. 2 sick people in one house go through an astonishing amount of tissues.

6. The sound of rain on the window is a comforting thing to wake up to. I love rain!

7. An astonishing amount of spinning can get done when you’re with good friends and good company. I filled 2 bobbins between waiting for Stephanie to speak and during her talk. That brings the grand total to 4 bobbins. Just a little bit more to spin and then I can ply it up.

8. Everything is different with a camera. When you have a good camera that you’re excited about using, everything looks different. You start to see everything as a photograph. I wander around seeing things and thinking “How would I frame that as a shot?”, “What ISO level should I photograph at in this light?”, “Which lens should I use to really do this subject justice?”. It’s kind of fun, and kind of infuriating since I don’t take my camera with me everywhere.
