So lately I haven't been so great with the priorities that I had set for myself. This begs to ask the questions: Have I been lazy? or Have I set the bar too high? I wonder if I am asking too much for myself, but I see people all around me living their lives in perfect semblance. Why can't I do it as well? I think that I can. I just need to recommit.
I have been knitting regularly (I told you it wasn't a fad, Adam!), and attending my craft group weekly. It seems that I am never working on the same thing two weeks in a row. That means that I am completing things and finishing what I start. For so long I was putting my life on hold and just scrapping by day to day mentally and emotionally. Kind of just going through the motions.
Work is great and I have taken on a little more responsibility, which is always good. Home right now is a work in progress. Our landlord received some TIF funds and is installing a bay window seat in our living room. We literally came home one day and the wall had been demo-ed and our old windows were removed. It is ten days later and we still have a tarp to keep our cats in. That tarp is the only insulation we have from the outside world. It makes things very loud inside.
To add insult to injury our tv died. One night. One noise. Then just POOF! It was done. There wasn't even a climactic cloud of smoke. It was sad. Now we are down to one tv. I love watching tv in bed so I am especially torn up about this. I guess we watch too much tv anyway.
I have some goals for this week. I want to eat dinner at our dining room table every night. We get so caught up that we just eat dinner in front of the tv. It is so impersonal. I also want to be prepared for the next day, the night before. It is just easier that way. Last but not least, I want to be back here posting this time next week.
Let's hope life doesn't get in the way of those goals...again.
