Work was work today. My manager did not tell me that he was going to be out of the office this afternoon, so I had this stack of stuff I needed his input on and he was not there. But - I don't stress about stuff like that anymore. The stack will be there Monday and I will handle it then. Things will be finished when I can finish them. Strangely enough since I got this new attitude and I quit working weekends and into the evenings my pending files have been reduced and I think the overall quality of my work has improved. Huh. How'd that happen? Of course I have every intention of working this weekend except I wanna get version 1.0 of "Mission Temple" completed, I'm clipping and storyboarding "Closer," and I have another Buffy POV idea that I'm itching to try out plus I have to clean the house, spend QT with the dog, work on my Halloween costume, and I really should balance my checkbook and leave the house after dark. Oh yeah, it's time to dye my hair and I should get all of my sweaters out of the cedar chest and lay them out to air - I should also air out the gray merino poncho with the light pink trim that I made 3 years ago - I based it on the design of a poncho my father's mother made for my mother when she was pregnant with Dawn - cept I made mine in the round on these awesome Addi Turbo needles and since I was going through a bout of fairly major depression it just kept growing and growing - I was too apathetic to cast-off. At this point it is just an incredibly soft and warm blanket I can wear. With fringe. Actually I won't get the heavy sweaters out. I need to accept that this is Memphis. Maybe I'll go skiing this winter. That's what I'll tell the poor neglected sweaters when I have to put them back.

I've got a friend who is fixing me up. Maybe. I haven't decided. Her reasoning is she knows a guy, he's about my age and he is single. According to her it's a match. I have severe reservations - apparently both of his parents are still living. I really would rather date an orphan. It would just simple things up - y'know?

Hmm - buncha vidders that knit/crochet... I wonder if the same tactile feedback we get from vidding works on the knitting neurorecepters. I'm very hyper/ADD and will have twenty thousand things running through my head at once. If I knit, I slow down mentally - I get the same calm vidding.

It's not just the knitting. It's not just the vidding. Sisabet, you talk to your sweaters. Hell, you lie to 'em. Poor wittle sweaters. Erm...should I be talking to mine? But I don't knit, so maybe it's okay. Now I'm confuseled.

Caille,

Yep, I talk to my sweaters - but only the pretty ones :) - I also apologize to furniture if I bump into it. I grew up on a farm with not very many people around, hence I talk to things. They don't talk back...yet...
