Stress is a strange companion

It’s a funny thing about priorities. The last few weeks have been a little rocky for those around me and all I’ve been able to do is close the hatches and wait out the storm. Stress is a strange companion. I tend to internalize everything, though my ulcer from years past has thankfully stayed in quiet hibernation. Instead I think I’ve just had to ignore anything that didn’t involve immediate survival. Unfortunately, the longer I ignored my blog the easier it became. I haven’t really been knitting much either. Or attending my yoga classes. All the things that would probably have helped…

I did visit a Tulip festival last weekend when the weather here was in the 70s - that was a lovely day, few lovelier, wondering aimlessly through millions of flowers. In September I will have 350 bulbs arriving to be planted. I need to set down some roots. So, I’ve decided to begin looking for a house to buy - I’d like to be in it by August, in time for the tulips - good rational, yes?

I came across a knitting gallery today that I have to mention - Karen’s very very busy and with good taste, too.

That’s that. In touch soon…
