I don’t think that it’s true I haven’t had much to say lately. Rather I think I have too much to say and I’m simply unable to filter through it and find a single thing to post.

I haven’t been knitting much, just slowly plodding away at some toys I owe to my very patient friends. I have ideas and thoughts for projects, just no freedom to focus on anything. I have a longing to finish a few things in the works, but not the time.

I started a job from home, and that’s consumed some time and mental energy. It’s going to be good I think, once I’m used to things and settled in to a routine. I’m only replacing the income V lost this year though, so instead of getting ahead any it will just put us back to status quo. Of course, status quo was getting us by at least so I’ll take it.

My charming anecdote for the day is RM and her wonderful developing language. While her vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds, she still has a couple pronunciation issues typical to her age. The “L” sound is not yet mastered and the results are charming as she adjusts some words and simply avoids attempting others. The new guinea pig therefore becomes “Yucas” instead of “Lucas,” and “I love you” is simplified to “I you.” She sometimes sits and plays quietly while chanting her version of the Barney song, “I you me, I you me.”

I you too precious girl.
