Random thoughts on a Sunday (NaBloPoMo Day 6)
1)Sometimes I have too much to do and then I freeze and procrastinate and then panic to get everything done. I think maybe it has something to do with working under a deadline for so many years. 2) I used to hold my tongue and not speak up when I thought people were being ridiculous. I’ve gotten over that. 3) Most of the time, I like my dogs better than people. 4) I’d love to experience a real Fall and a real winter so I don’t feel like me knitting stuff is an exercise in futility. 5) I would love to take a month off, go to the mountains with…

Daily Life
For the last year or so, I have had and on and off love affair with my Midori notebooks. Some months, I am pretty good about journaling in them, and then others, well, not so much.
