Counting down

In some ways, it seems like my semester just started yesterday. But in reality, there is only the remainder of this week and next. Followed by a week of study. Followed by exams.

Time flies when you are having fun?

At this point I am desperately trying to get caught up with some of the reading that seems to have slid somewhere along the line and figure out what – if anything I really need to do to prep for the three courses in which I have exams. Following that – I will have two major papers to finish.

Not that I don’t have anything else to do in my life.

Knitting? Not since January. Same with Cross-stitch. The machine embroidery has been off and on. What I really need to do is study.

Which is why I am reading….. something else

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!

    Ah yes, remind me why we put ourselves through such torture?

      because we are insane? Or because there are things we want to know and it is worth the pain to get there?
