My return to blogging...

I recently decided that I'm going to work on blogging more regularly. I got sidetracked because of ECT and the podcast I started. But blogging has it's benefits. The main one for me being accountability. I have not been back to my yoga studio yet. I intended to go on Saturday but experienced some anxiety about being in the room by myself after such a long time away. I guess I'm worried I'll faint or something. So I planned a yoga date with my friend, Linda (thank you Linda for the support!), for Tuesday. Hopefully having someone on the mat next to me that I know and feel comfortable around will quell some of that nervousness.

I talked with my therapist Denice about going back to work and we both agreed it could be beneficial if I start out slowly and look for a part time job. Certainly this is a very wise approach to returning to work, right?? So what do I do the very next day? You guessed it. I applied for a full time job. Brilliant, just brilliant. WTF is wrong with me? So in my defense I liked this particular job listing because it gave the impression of providing a positive work environment. You know what I mean, I got a good vibe. But it is full time. And this is exactly what my therapist and I discussed avoiding...can't wait to share this with her. Especially since I got an interview for the position on Thursday. Eh, oh well, I'll try not to look too far into the future...a lot can happen between now and getting an actual offer.

Let's see, what else? In regards to my knitting I was making nice progress on a shawl for my mother-in-law, Kathy. But then there was an unfortunate slip that resulted in an error I could not fix. This was fairly devastating to me since I was probably a good third of the way done with it...further along on a project than I've been in awhile. So I frogged it and am now working on a scarf for myself actually. It has a lace body with fringe and beads. I'm really into incorporated beads with my knitting lately. I'm not very far along at all since I just started a couple hours ago.
