Is it wrong

Is it wrong to be up at 3:15am cataloguing and photographing your sock yarns?

Y'see the sleeplessness continues so I decided maybe playing with pretties would help me some, or at least distract me. It is not normal for me to have insomnia, but I ate something yesterday, oops two days ago, that is having ongoing repercussions and one of those is racing brain that will not sleep.

Now I have to choose what yarns to keep out of the removalists' mitts so I can make me and others socks and stuff whilst we travel around Canada. And the USA.

I have an *awful* lot of sock yarn. And I mean that in the sense of awe, not aw shucks. And I left a lot of sock yarn at home too. Hmm. I guess you'll want to see the pictures, but not quite yet - I think my brain is finally slowing down. Hooray! Maybe I will get some sleep by 4am! Or mebbe not.

My name is Lynne and I am addicted to sock yarn.

    Hello, you :)

    Happy belated greetings. I'm afraid I'm one of those unspeakably rude readers who skimmed through without stopping to put digits to keyboard. In my defence, you seemed pretty dazzled by all your birthday goodies...

    Hope your plans all work out ok. It's worse doing the scheduling than the actual travelling, if that's any consolation. Also, it's easy to get superfocused on something like this if you've little or nothing else to distract you, like a job or kitties, or even friends to go and bitch it out with.

    You're doing it tough at present, but I feel confident in your abilities to make it work.

    It must be Insomnia Week International, or some such. DH and I have also both been getting less quality sleep than we'd like (and not for the obvious reason, so wash your mind out) and DD's teacher commented that he was running on little or no sleep yesterday, too. Is something in retrograde?

    Gee, comments this long make me think I should restart my blog ;P

    Oh goodness, sorry there is all this madness going on! And grr at DH for being Not Helpful! It must be tough going from your home environment to somewhere that you are effectively isolated, on your own. Hopefully it is not too much to ask for DH to have a wee bit of empathy here.

    I do feel bad for not having visited here on your birthday, we did communicate however so I shall not put on my sackcloth and ashes :-) Love the yarny gifties and purchases.

    Fingers crossed the trip and the visas all go without a hitch!

    Ah yes, insomnia is my friend at the moment due to lots of stress! I can't say I'm surprised you're not sleeping well, you've got a lot to think about but I know you'll be ok.

Your monthly blog post

LOL G'day all! Apparently I can no longer blog more than once a month. Mea slacka, I admit. So what's been happening here? I've done a lot of knitting recently.  Ahem I may have bought a fair whack of yarn too.  So much for not spending money. I've been sick as a dog this week.  Gah.  I haven't been really ill with a virus for years - last time I was this sick was six years ago.  Man that was a fun month, DH having lost his job whilst we were getting new visas in Oz for said job, having to pack up and move everything we wanted to keep from the States, sell off the car, get rid of stuff.... all with me coughing my lungs up.  And the lymph node that came up that I thought was from a chest infection actually being breast cancer...  oh joy oh bliss. I even went to urgent care (the walk in, no appointment needed doc in a box that you see when your GP is booked out) cos I felt so crappy.   He confirmed it was probably viral and threw ...

Seattle Six

Image
G'day all! 12 is a big number around here, being all to do with Seattle Seahawks and the 12th man - did you know that American football has 11 players active on the ground at any one time and the twelfth man is the spectators watching the game?  I didn't.  I know about the 12th man in cricket but not this thing that has been adopted here regarding what I usually call gridiron. But I don't want to talk about American football and I don't want to talk about 12, I want to talk about six. Yes, we have now been in Seattle for six years (and a number of days). Six years. Where has the time gone? This is our seventh winter - how have we managed?  Some people love gloom but we are solar powered.  And Seattle tends to be rather gloomy in winter.  I manage by making stuff like crazy, I wear bright colours, and I hang out online on Ravelry.  Without my rav mates, I'd be bored out of my brain.  I'd get a job but I don't have a work permit and that me...

A year and a day

Image
G'day all! This time last year, we were bemused and confused. Our grand trip across Canada had ended and we had just flown in to SJ airport. We have been in California for a year and a day (it's a leap year). 366 days in California. How has it been? All over the shop like a madwoman's you-know-what! You can read more about it on my other blog. I have now lived in three different places in my life. By that I mean I've had an address for mail and stuff, a place where I live rather than stay for a little while. Those places are Melbourne (Oz), Fort Collins (Colo) and Campbell (Calif). In their own ways, each has been special. Fort Collins will be a place I'll always remember, and possibly the memories will be better because we didn't spend a winter there ;-) In honour of this great occasion, I announce a contest! In the comments, tell me two places you have lived (one place if you have always lived there!) and a place where you would love to live (and why yo...
