Too many projects

and likely nowhere near enough time in which to complete them all. , After all, I am only packing for a week, not a month, year, or the rest of my natural life.  Two projects make sense – they have weekly releases on Fridays so bringing them along means that I may not fall too badly behind. Another is one of those “new cruise, new start” type ideas.

Oh, that is right – I forgot to mention it. Dani and I leave tomorrow for Hawaii for a week on NCL’s Pride of America. This is a reschedule of a reschedule: our original planned cruise was on the NCL Jewel as she repositioned from Hawaii to Seattle in April 2020. Obviously that didn’t happen. Our next attempt was this past January to just go around the islands. Cancelled a month out in Dec.  So three times is the charm? We are flying Southwest Airlines both ways. A plan change on an additional island seemed like a small inconvenience when balanced against free suitcase and flying out of Oakland.

Anyway, I am planning on relaxing on the balcony and otherwise finishing up the last hours of CME that I need for renewing my license. Oh, and stitching. Also in my plans.  I have signed Dani up for hikes on three islands so hopefully she will see waterfalls, volcano basins and other sites while avoiding injury or sunburn.

The next week might proved to be a bit more interesting than the last five weeks (which I haven’t bothered to send out most days). And pictures, hopefully those will upload decently. I am also desperately hoping that most under 16s are back in school….

otherwise – laundry, a bit of organizing and ~780 stitches more into StitchyWitch (Tiny Modernist)

 

 

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!
