Right Now - April 2015
04/29/2015
April . . . always a mixed bag. You just never know what April will bring. Crazy weather, for sure. But the beginnings of True Spring . . . with added sunlight and generally warming temperatures. By the end, April kind of looks like this . . . and I'm thrilled.
Here's what's happening for me . . . RIGHT NOW!
WATCHING . . . PBS. Wolf Hall - loved the book; love the series, and Call the Midwife - still charming, although getting a tad routine. (Where is Chummy???? Did I miss something??? Is she coming back? Sort of like Sister Mary Cynthia?) (Just found this. . . she'll be back.)
KNITTING . . . Plugging away on Romi's Mystery Shawl. (That's it, up there. I'm sorry if you didn't want to see a spoiler. But I blurred it, so it's still kind of . . . mysterious. Besides, there's only one more clue and then it'll be out there anyway.) I'm not really sold on that middle stripe thing yet. At all. But will have to wait to see how it looks blocked and finished. When I'm not (constantly) knitting on that (to keep up with the clues), I've cast on for this sweater. So far, so good. (But I haven't gotten very far at all.)
LISTENING . . . Kinda been in a John Mayer mood lately . . .
DRINKING . . . More water! I'm trying to stay a bit more hydrated.
DREADING . . . An upcoming committee commitment that is just . . . well. Kind of lame.
REGRETTING . . . Too much too soon, apparently. A bit of three-steps-forward-one-step-back, so . . . a return to the ice bag.
PLANNING . . . I am planning my "attack" on the last - and hardest - of my Kon-Mari purge zones: my knitting/sewing room, my boxes of "memorabilia," and photographs. I think a re-read of certain sections of my Kon-Mari "bible" are in order, but I'm nearly ready to DIG IN!
HUMMING . . . A catchy little Weezer tune.
ITCHING TO . . . Sit out on the patio every evening, under my bistro lights, with a glass of wine and something to read.
ORGANIZING . . . All the garden things!
DELIGHTED BY . . . My drawing class. Why a drawing class? Because I really want to take a printmaking class. And maybe a watercolor class. And "Drawing I" is a prerequisite. So . . . here I am, dusting off the cobwebs (because the last time I took a drawing class was back in college) and - surprise - having a great time!
NEEDING TO . . . Clear off the kitchen island for Tom's return. (I tend to set out my "projects" on the island when he's away, but never when he's at home.)
ENJOYING . . . A new morning routine that includes meditation, yoga, and regular journaling. Sure, I have to get out of bed a bit earlier, but totally worth it!
CELEBRATING . . . An end to physical therapy. Tom's return this weekend. My dad's birthday. And Spring!
How about YOU? What's going on for you . . . RIGHT NOW?
