Spinning in circles

and no, this is not a discussion about spinning wheels. Perhaps something on that a later day.

Instead, this is more about my complete lack of being able to get much of anything done for the last several weeks (other than taking George in and back to appointments), doing some basic house work, taking out trash, running loads of laundry. When a major bit of excitement is a trip to the grocery store.

We are alive, he is getting better every day. But it is a slog.

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!

    If you made a list at the beginning of the day and then crossed off everything you had achieved at the end of the day then you might surprise yourself! You’re doing well my friend!

      But that means that I would have to get out of bed… oh right, I do that.
      Right now it is the items on the list that aren’t moving (see comment about papers not writing themselves….
