I would love to remain under the
impression delusion that I have more free time than I need. But the sad fact is that I don't. On any given day I wake up, go to work, come home for a short stint and then head off to school. I really only ever have enough time to grab a snack, finish up and bits and pieces of homework that haven't been done and then get changed between out of my work attire and put on regular clothes for school. Then it's off to class until 7:30 or 8:30 Tues thru Thursday. After which, I come home and yet again hunker down with the homework (because I'm obsessed with having ALL of my homework done before Friday night). Then there's always my Mondays where I get up extra early, go to work, change at work and leave for school. And starting next Monday I won't be getting home before 10PM at night thanks to the fact that is the one night we have an open lab for the dark room that I can use at school. The only other time we have open lab that I can go to is Sunday afternoon.
Why do any of you care? Because my knitting and crocheting have suffered greatly. I have a scarf and two blankets that are still WIPs that should have been done a month ago and a Calorimetry and a pair of socks (if you could call them that) that have barely made it past their infancy stages. I really am starting to think I have far too many hobbies.
And naturally, when faced with the options of a quick and easy sewing project (mostly alterations) or hunkering down with a knitting or crochet project, I'll choose the quick and easy project each and every time. The positive side to that is that finally, after months (maybe even years haha), sewing projects are getting finished.
Why oh why can't I be a loser who has no life so that I may sit home on the weekends to knit and crochet? (I know I'm tempting the fates here, I really don't mean that, I'm just kidding, kay? I adore my friends and my boyfriend and cherish all the time I spend with them.)
