Transition

I read this blog post a few weeks ago.  It’s about TRANSITION.  It really hit home at the time.  Even though it doesn’t all apply to me, the idea is the same.  Mind you, when I read it, my big changes were still over yonder.  She put this at the top of her post:

Tomorrow, Jacob will have been in his new place for a whole week.  I’m still having a hard time getting used to living alone – or without him.  It’s very strange that he’s not here anymore.  We still chat every day, which makes me feel better.  I miss him.  BUT, I don’t miss the empty Pepsi cans on the coffee table, the dirty dishes on the kitchen counter, the toast crumbs, or the little hairs all over the bathroom sink when he shaved.  Hahahaha.

So, that’s one big change behind me.  People keep telling me I’ll get used to not having Jacob around.  But, I really don’t have time or the need to get used to anything because in 20 days, I won’t be living here anymore either.

I have so far packed up some of my books.  That’s it!  Help is on the way:  Mom!

I’m a little weirded out about being homeless.  I must admit.  Sometimes I ask myself “What the hell are you doing?”  Am I crazy?  Fearless?  Adventurous?  Courageous? Or just nutts?

I’m very excited about travelling.  I have some big plans for the next 6 months but the only one that’s for sure at this point is Chicago on August 5th.  I’m going to visit some friends down there.

After that, I’m going to try to let things “flow” as my friend Pam would say.

On the fiber front, I have NO ORDERS pending.  I’m so psyched.  I get to knit whatever I want.  Right now, I’m working on a baby sweater for my friends Jenna and Rob.  They’re expecting their first baby in November.  I actually have nothing else on the go.  Well, I’m lying.  I have the Tess D’Youberville shawl in progress but I’m not feeling it – I’ll be ripping it back today or tomorrow.  Soon, I’ll start going through my wool to see what I can use up and/or get rid of.  I have so much wool/fiber!!!

I sold my Matchless and my Traditional and got myself a little Sidekick.  It’s a little spinning wheel that folds up into a back-pack for easy transport.  I love it.

That’s all I got for today.  It’s packing time.
