In my part of the world we say you are a fool if your passion for a pursuit overcomes all practical sense. I am a stitching fool, and I stitch foolishness.

BAM! SPLAT!!

 That was the sound I made when I hit the wall earlier this week.

There's a lot going on in the world at the moment, and it wore me down to the point that I couldn't even find solace in my needlework. So, I took a few days off. I greatly reduced my social media contacts so no doom scrolling. I haven't watched anything beyond the weather reports on the news.

What have I done? A lot of reading--I'm rereading Laurie R King's Russell/Holmes mysteries. I've been watching Time Team  and Flosstube episodes on YouTube. I've been packing for the annual trip BDE and I take to spend time with friends every year. I just sat and watched the snow fall for a couple of days.

There will be stitching again, probably tomorrow when I hit the stitching room at the gathering. But I did want to let my readers know I haven't dropped off the face of the earth--just taking a couple of days away from it.

  1. A bet a lot of us hear you and can relate. Social Media is the pits sometimes. Take care of yourself and stay positive. Robin

  2. I sometimes wish I didn't see the news, but my husband's an avid news watcher, most of the time it just makes me so angry.
