Ok, so earlier this morning I posted about how I felt crappy and sore and whinge whinge whinge. Then I had a whinge-y, largely unproductive morning. Cause and effect. Post DELETED.
SNAP OUT OF IT! I have a well-paying job, a wonderful husband (who also has a well-paying job), a roof over my head, 2 loving (if moderately insane) cats, family and friends who love me and are loved by me, enough to eat, more books than I could read in a year if I had nothing else to do, and enough yarn to knit for another year if I had nothing else to do. There's even a few bucks a week for treats and little surprises here and there, and literally HOURS of leisure time to be as productive (or not) as I see fit. What the heck do I have to complain about?
Anything that I don't love about my life, it is up to me to make it change [1]. Pretending otherwise is a load of hooey. See this? It's my butt. See this? It's my own foot, kicking my own butt.
Ok, pep-talk over. I started knitting the Adagio Shawl (for Carole) last night - twice. Think I misred the pattern somewhat, so will try again this evening. I'm making it in Brett "Marble", which I think is going to be very pretty as it works up into gently-shaded stripes. Had a brief but fun visit at the Bridgehead SnB with the gals, including off-loading some what was I thinking? stash and acquiring some pretty new stash from the traveling stash bag - huzzah for free yarn!
Found out from Peter this morning that our Saturday plans are cancelled but new ones may be in the works - in the meantime, I think I am going to spend a chunk of Saturday morning on some domestic-bliss stuff. I haven't baked in ages, the living-room needs a tidy up, and I emptied my trunk into the porch last weekend to make room for golf bags. I figure a good solid hour of housework, then a couple hours of knitting before lunch, and leave the afternoon/evening open to "whatever".
Tomorrow, Miss Mok goes to the vet for her shots; I can't believe how big she's getting already! Such an affectionate little squirt she is, still working on the "no, we don't eat yarn" rule but she's learning a little every day. I think we are, too.
See, now I'm happy again. Blessings counted, coffee sipped, time to get back to some file management. How's your day?
[1] With the one small exception that my husband snores. Can't do anything about that!

YOU GO GIRL!
Whenever I get whiney and mopey those are almost the exact same things my husband says to me (no cats, sweet dog). Stay positive!
I woke up today feelin' the exact same way (could it be that the reason being is my son's birthday is today), so I too, cleaned up my whiny, complainy blog.
