Ugh
I know I'm not the only one feeling it... a huge case of the blahs. What is the deal? Is it the cold yucky weather? Is it the change of season? What?
I just feel yucky. Blah, tired, lethargic, lazy. I know there's been discussion about people losing their knitting mojo, but I'm not having a problem with knitting. (Though, oddly, I haven't knit any sock items all week.) I have been working on my Flower Basket Shawl dilegently. I'm even patiently ripping out my mistakes without losing my mind. But overall, I feel yucky.
Yesterday, I had two nice treats. Erin called and invited me to go to the Farm with her, the Cowboy, Jolene and her two cutie girls, Samantha and Erika. I have lived just down the road from Clark's, but I had never been there before. Sooo cute. I love a good petting farm! The baby goats were so adorable and not much bigger than The Poodle. I was sad that I didn't have my camera with me. The kids had a blast.
The second treat was a treat to myself. I went to Lynn's Day Spa and had a massage and a facial. There have been some stressful things going on in my life, and I was really feeling the need for a little escape. When I win the lottery, there will be a personal masseuse on my full time staff. I will live on my alpaca farm with my angora bunnies and baby goats and get massages whenever I want them.
Despite the farm fun and the spa trip, I am still feeling yucky.
I was productive today though. I sent out my Dye-O-Rama yarn to my swap pal. I think it's safe to post a picture since the swap is a secret one. I can't imagine that my pal reads my blog. And if she does... Don't look at the picture!
It's one of the skeins I did in the dyeing class. Blues, purples, browns, tans, pinks, greens... kind of a big mishmash of color. I'm interested to see what happens when it is knit up. Hopefully my pal will send me pictures.
I also sent out my Project Spectrum postcard today. I wont post it here, but it is on my flicker account if you wanna take a look. Again... if you are my swap pal and you are reading this - NO PEEKING!
Tomorrow I will be attending Wine in The Woods. Perhaps many glasses of wine will make me feel better! I will be bringing a chair and hanging out with friends near the band. If you happen to be there, come say hi! I will the girl in the pink chair, knitting of course. Speaking of which... I have to come up with some small knitting project (read: sock) to bring with me. I may actually cast on something new though I really need to make mates for several lonely socks. I need something simple and mindless that I can work on while drinking large quantities of wine and not worry about messing them up.
Grumpy old me is going to bed now!

Sorry about the "blah's". I know I have been feeling it lately but because of my allergies.
I haven't lost my "knitting mojo" either but I have felt like I've lost focus. So much to knit, so little time!
I love the yarn you dyes! The purple & blues look amazing!
I think I have your sock mojo - I have had no interest on working on anything else lately!
The yarn is gorgeous - what a lucky swap pal!
The Wine in the Woods sounds like the perfect way to work through the blahs. (If you find a good Chardonnay, let me know! I love me a good Chardonnay!)
Poor you - but I'm with you here, I'm in the same mood since days and strongly looking for something to cheer me up! As for me, it's definitely related to the weather, I can't see this grayness and rain anymore and know that my mood will lift up considerably when it's nice outside again - I have my fingers crossed that this will be the case for you again!
But it's so great that you did something for yourself, treating yourself to a day in the spa is just perfect, and even if it didn't seem to change anything immediately, you'll sure feel its positive aspects for a while!
I love the yarn by the way, such gorgeous colors!
OMG....I love that yarn you dyed!!!! I'm finally back to reading my bloglines on a timely manner....so I'm adding you to it! We finally had a sunny day in Pittsbugh....really boosted my mood! PS. I didn't peek at the card...I love surprises. I'll let you know what day yours is mailed.
look at all your commentors.... new faces! Howdy Y'all!
The coboy LOVES you soooo much! and requested a lunch date soon!
aww - sorry about having the blah's - hopefully some socks, wine and music will be a good pick-me-up!
