So here’s my rehash of the April knitting, it’ll be short, and my update on life in general.
I only finished one project in April, the Monkey socks (Rav link), which used about 286.5 yards of yarn not from my stash really since I bought it in March for these socks as a gift.
The gift was a little late. I spent the last week of April caring for my stepmom (my sister and I both did actually) and she died May 3rd (Saturday). I saw and experienced a lot in the last two weeks and I think eventually I will post about those experiences, but not right now.
I did start 2 new projects before I left to take care of Linda. I started Charade and a shrug (Rav links). I didn’t get very far with either one, but hope to finish both in May if gardening doesn’t completely take over.

April 17th, 2008
So I decided that I should merge the blogs and since knitter’s lib is where I’m posting the most I’m keeping it and merging in the content from the little hour (which I wasn’t posting in much anyway). So now this will be about more than knitting, but I guess it kind of was anyway, it’ll just be more obvious now.
So I imported all TLH posts and I’ll probably blow TLH away later this week and then maybe I can do a real index page for my site since I seem to have lost it.
So things are rough right now and I’m doing all this damn thinking. Thinking about life and death and goals and what I want to be when I grow up. It’s tiring, and sometimes depressing and for me full of ups and downs. One minute I think I should open a bakery or some kind of baking related business, the next I think no I need a legal job, then I think why did I stop writing-I should write. Today I realized I miss school (wtf?) but maybe I don’t miss school maybe what I miss are things like real writing workshops. I miss writing but it’s hard to schedule it in a day already full of work, marriage, pet care, family care, self care… Well you get the picture; my head is a mess right now.
Despite all this mental wrestling which is making me think more probably, I’m still depressed a bit. I still can’t manage to get the exercise routine down. I have kept my spending lent for 1.5 months now (woot) and I’m slowly getting my financial stuff more organized. I think I just do to a budget and maintain my weekly bookkeeping and I’m good. The spending lent is making me think more about every dime I spend and I think this habit will hopefully stick past the actual lent.
The garden which I promised would happen this year is so not going to happen unless a miracle happens this weekend. I want to drink beer and read all weekend so I’m not seeing that happening. Oh well, there’s always next year right?
