Long overdue
I've been remiss in my blog up-keep. It COULD be very therapeutic, but instead I find myself needing to be vague, guarded, and it's the antithesis of therapy. And really, who wants to read the weekly travails of a weepy and mostly sad me? I don't even want to read that shit and I'm living it.
And now for the good stuff...
Things that suck:
Divorce
Feeling rootless
Not having a permanent full time job
Being sad
Things that don't suck:
3 months off anti-depressants!
Finally going to Israel
Knitting socks
When I was little, and similarly tending towards the negative, my mom used to ask me how school was. I would list a ton of shitty things 1st. Momma made a rule - for every bad thing, I had to have 3 good. I should implement that in my daily life again I think.

i'm definitely not at socks, yet -- but i got bored with plain stockinette, and so i'm attempting a "simple" lace pattern scarf which is definitely challenging for *me*. whenever i goof, going backwards is tough and leads to more problems and eventually wrecks the pattern. also, i chose what turns out to be a tougher yarn (approximately half silk, half wool), and it's slippery... in short, arrgh. but... assuming i don't get frustrated and destroy the whole thing it should be luscious when it's done. :)
have you already been to israel, or are you in process of planning a trip?
as for the sucky things: keep hanging in there. it does get better...
Geez, I'm a downer today, aren't I?
