I aten't dead

I've missed the last two weekly posts, the first because family things happened, and the second because life and I just forgot. Other than the family stuff, the last three weeks haven't been very eventful. I missed a day of yoga, but otherwise I've been doing pretty good with the daily goals. I also feel a little more balanced, life-wise, even though I haven't really made any solid changes yet. Perhaps just making an effort to reallocate some of my energy from work to other things is helping, even without an explicit plan.

I need to start eating better, and putting together a better routine for chores and daily things, but it feels like a whole lot of work. I've never been good at powering through the thjngs that are unpleasant but need to be done anyway, and I'm not really sure how to make those things easier. Some days I wish I didn't have to direct all aspects of my life, but such is life as an adult. Maybe I'll eventually figure out something that makes it smoother/more bearable.

On the fun side, I crocheted a bucket hat for one of my coworkers, and I just need to add the ghost face to it. It's the first hat I've made, and I'm pleased with how it's turned out. I can also use this pattern to make a round basket, as long as I skip the bit for making the rim. I'd like to do more creative/artsy things, but my energy and balance for those is still off, so I'm not sure how that will go. I did get to use some of my existing yarn stash, though I did need to go buy some plain black yarn. Ah well, it's another project done (almost) so I'm calling that a win.

I hope you all are doing well. Stay safe from the crazy weather and the wildfires and related smoke; have a great long weekend!
