my life in stitches

update

Filed Under Postcards

am here. came to spend a week in nc decompressing then managed to (a) forget the piece that was just beginning to make sense and (b) get sick. so i just lay around with a compress to my cellulitis-infested ear, watching the clock for time to down my next antibiotic, and wonder why life is so much busier now than when i had 2 wee ones born within 14 months of each other.

how does that happen?

i mean, really. there should be so much room in my life now - room to do yoga, walk, write, stitch, and still tend to family matters. instead it often feels like i’m clawing the clock, trying to slow the hands down enough to give me even 30 minutes to stitch. now that i’m sick, i have the time, but no energy or desire.

maybe, hopefully tomorrow.

    Time just does that! Don’t ask me how, it just does. Maybe because you are sick you have time to think and normally just get on with being busy.Hopefully the enforced rest will let you get things back in balance. I hope you feel better and bouncing soon.

    you know, i think you’re right, judith. i just have more time to think whilst laying around feeling punk. thanks for the good wishes. i’ll be back in the stitch again soon. looking forward to getting out there today to see what everybody else has been up to.

    sure hope you are on the mend by the time you read this comment! Things are moving right along on this end. But I am pacing myself. Promise…

    i hope you feel better soon. I think you infected me (and Jude). it only seemed like you had more time with 2 babies - cause you were awake ALL the Time…now you get to sleep a bit. :)

    So sorry you’re having a tough time. I hope you’re on the mend soon. Time does seem to fly, doesn’t it? I don’t know the answer, but I sure wish I did… hugs, Fran
