A better day even if I didn’t get to have a walk.
Still family drama but it is somewhat less and I’m getting better at managing the telephone aspect of it. Paced myself at work so I didn’t get stressed there and it was an easy dinner so I didn’t get stressed there either.
Best of all I got my sweater pieces assembled. Still have to knit on the button band but I tried it on without and it fits so that’s good. I also practiced using the timer in my cellphone camera so I can take pictures for Ravelry when it’s all the way done. Put some thought into the lighting and backdrop too. Happy with how it’s all coming together.
It’s just so nice to be clear-headed enough to -do-things- after dinner.
You make me so aware of the extra time an undrinking life creates. I mostly am still just heading to bed early but I'm getting a bit twitchy (in a good way) to start 'doing' things after dinner too. We're heading into autumn here and even though it won't be super cold (sub-tropical climate) it will be good temps soon to pull out a neglected cotton crochet afghan project I abandoned two winters ago because - in hindsight - my hands were too busy pouring wine down my throat...

Oh enjoy! I’m also a big fan of coloring — I think the new “adult coloring” movement is a laugh riot because I never gave it up from childhood but kept that fact secret for years — especially when I’m too edgy/irritable for fiber-based stuff. But yeah the extra time becomes really wonderful after a while!
