Summer?
I feel like I missed out on most of the summer here in the PNW. I haven’t really been anywhere, except over to a few friends houses for dinner. I continue to underestimate just how much a move takes out of me. I can’t unpack yet, because most of what I own really should live on bookshelves in the living room, but I haven’t yet recovered financially from moving yet to get those shelves. And so I live in a cardboard forest of boxes.
I don’t even know where 85% of my yarn stash is. This makes it difficult to pull out stuff already earmarked for projects, but that’s ok, because they’re likely packed with their patterns, and…well. You see the difficulty.
I continue to work on a sock when I have a moment here and there, but it’s slow going. I don’t even know where my darn measuring tape is, so I’m not quite sure where I start to turn the heel. Sadly, I am not to the heel yet, so this isn’t a huge concern right now. But it’s there.
Items canned this year = a big fat zero. The canning supplies are, wait for it…packed! Looks like it’ll be frozen berries and peaches for me this winter. *sigh*
Tonight I shall drown my sorrows in half a small, fragrant, perfect French melon of unknown name and maybe some kind of crusty bread with goat cheese, and a bottle glass of chilled wine.
*broods* How are you all doing?
This has been a summer of no motivation. The shoulds are piling up like dandelions in the front yard.

Hey, be kind to yourself about all this. I haven’t canned in two years. I moved last October, and I am currently sitting in a room that STILL has unpacked boxes. I do things like not read knitting blogs for, I dunno, nine months? This stuff takes a toll. No need to stress out about what we don’t do for pleasure, right?
*mwah*
