I’ve been feeling a bit blue this week. Requiring lots and lots of sleep (I’m talking more than 8 hours on a worknight, so that I have to take the next day off), which is usually a tip-off that I’m either getting sick or headed into a down spell for a little bit. I wasn’t sure which one it was until yesterday. I was already pretty sure I was going to take a vacation day, but it was cemented by our sleeping until after 1:00 PM. And then I felt completely blah and bored all day. That’s another symptom for me. Being totally bored, no matter what I do. I pretty much have to force myself to do everything that needs to be done, or just ignore everything.
As a result, Terry actually suggested that I spend the day today stitching. I started with some model stitching and then moved on to working on my long-neglected Alchemy Stitchcraft mystery sampler. I’ll be finished with part 4 out of 6 by the end of the day. Even that I’ve been bored with, having to make myself continue through even routine stitching. Ugh. No pictures for now. I’d really like to finish the whole thing this weekend, but that may be a pretty lofty goal since I’m trying to intersperse it with my model stitching as a reward. We’ll see.
(((Jenna))) I’ve been feeling blue for the past few weeks, too, so I understand what you mean about having to push yourself to do things. I hope you feel better soon. Definitely email me if you want to talk.
(((((Hugs))))) Some days are just like that… Maybe your body and mind need a mini-hibernation? And the change of season always takes its toll on our energies.
I love your Alchemy Stitchcraft sampler and feel so bad for not having started mine yet!! 🙁 But as regards stitching, I want to go where my fancy leads me – my work is so much pressure already…
My friend, myabe you shoudln’t force yourself to stitch if you really don’t feel like it?
Sometimes we feel just lazy picking up a project, but once we’ve actually got around to it we find we truly enjoy it. But if you still don’t feel like it even after you’ve started… Maybe it’s better to go for a walk? 🙂
((((hugs)))) Jenna! Your friends are there to listen if you need to! 🙂
