Well, no wonder.

I've been hampered!Who knew? Maybe it's the shoes? Probable not, more likely the corset. Here's the HorrorScope that gives the poop:

Your creativity has been hampered by distracting circumstances, but your life is now ready to move forward again. You may feel the changes coming, but you'll still have to suppress the urge to try to do too much in the present moment. Don't waste your energy coming up with new material for your next project or presentation. Instead, revisit an old idea or retell a story that can help you process your feelings about the past.

This all comes about as I was lying in bed this morning planning what I need to do next with the wax projects, and I came to a SLAP MY HEAD conclusion- one of those things that make me question my brain cell function. And I simply can't wait to get in and start working on my way-too-obvious solutions.

We have a guest staying with us for a few days and that has me slightly hampered because of my need to keep the place picked up and a hot meal flung at the table now and then. But I alread made the requisite pot of real oatmeal (stir, stand and stir, stir, stand and stir) so I am freed up to get to my stitch n' bitch group and then on to the studio.

This morning I checked a few videos on provisional cast-on so I can start a new project with the fabulous sparkly rayon yarn I was given. I had my friend check her color cards to find which colors will go with the 'sage' I already have, and now I am armed with her expert advice since I have to order on-line. No one in south Florida seems to carry it, odd since they seem to carry every other imaginable non-wool yarn. Anyway, my order is on it's way, and with having to put 350 stitches on the needles, it will be a while before I need the next color to work. It's shaping up to be sage, olives, and purples- my new neutrals apparently.

I put away all my sparkly Christmas decorations (except for the mammoth disco ball which I like too much to hide) and I am feeling much more optimistic about work. Being gone for a week, then dealing with the holidays has me off my trajectory and it is great to get it all behind me, grouch that I have become.

Now, I am gonna go take the damn corset off.
