Lately...

Knitting... a spring collection.

Planning.... a fall collection.

Still looking... at Tater's unfinished quilt.

Watching... as Bubba outgrows every piece of clothing I made him this winter.

Listening... as he puts words together in that little warble-y voice only 2 year olds have.

Sorting... seeds, ideas, recipes.

Waiting... for more sunshine.

Loving.... all of the above and then some.

Things are moving right along here despite some recent bumps in the road. I've been sick for over a month now with what we're apparently referring to as "borderline pneumonia". That said, I'm heading back to the doctor tomorrow for the 3rd time as the last round of meds resulted in no change whatsoever. Aside from just feeling like crap the thing that bothers me most is that I can't run and breathe at the same time. Trust me. I've tried. Like an idiot.

So running at the lake has been reduced to walking and light jogging with a few days of hellish hiking. Better than nothing but frustrating in a big way.

Also made the decision to drop my classes. The classes plus 2 jobs, 3 kids, and a partridge in a pear tree was just a bit much. Something had to give and classes can always be picked up again later. Once I made the decision my stress level dropped by about a million so it was the right thing to do. 

So all in all... things are busy-good. I should soon have knitting news of the its-okay-to-blog-about-it variety but right now I'm keeping it all under wraps.... pun intended!

Hi Marie,
Yes, stress can kill you. Please rest. You are worth it.

With Spring right around the corner, planning out the garden beds and starting vegetable seeds is my way of feeling better. Wishing you healthier days ahead!
