Knitting as Life

I used to equate how messy my life was with how messy my apartment was. Now I equate my life state with how many knitting projects I start. I started two pairs of socks and a pair of mittens last week. And can you believe that I am thinking about starting another project? I reeeeeeeeally want to start a lace project. This just shows you how disheveled my life feels at the moment.

Last month was my hardest month at work in the year that I've been there. I didn't sleep more than 4 hours a night because my mind was racing. I've also had the big move on my mind. The big move to Louisiana. There's just so much that goes into moving, and I've become a professional at moving across the state. Moving to another one, on my own, well, this will be a first.

I am pretty sure the stress got to me on Friday night. I went to see the Red Sox play the Mariners:



Everything was great until the T ride home, when I fainted. I've never had anything like that happen to me before, but boy did it make me think. I cannot wait to be with my boyfriend and finally do what I want to do for a living. I plan on moving, getting a job in the local school system and finishing my music degree so I can become a teacher. Corporate America isn't worth my health. I want to be happy and healthy, and I won't be happy until I'm with my boyfriend. I am really looking forward to it!


In other news, I think I am allergic to mohair. Whenever I knit with it, my eyes itch, and I get a slight headache. This is sad because I just started these Noro Silk Garden Socks and I'm getting to a point in the skein where I see some purple peeking out. I will sneeze and itch my eyes through these!!



I would like to leave this post on a happy note, look what I scored from The Plucky Knitter, it's merino superwash sock in Tea Towel, GORG!!!!
