I am laying on my couch this morning debating if I should stay home from work again today or not. No, I'm not really playing hooky, I got sick at work yesterday with what I'm assuming is the flu. The only thing I've eaten in the past 24 hours is some soup and toast and my tummy is still quite upset
Part of me wanders if this flu is due to stress. Lately I've been feeling burnt out, both physically and emotionally. It was nice to sit on the couch yesterday and read and watch tv and do nothing.
My work hours have been crazy. Literally 8-6 every day and that doesnt include driving time. I feel like I have no time for myself or the hubs. Then when the weekend rolls around I'm catching up on cleaning and doing errands. I haven't worked out in months and I wish I had some more time to come home, prepare nice dinners other than recipes I can cook in the crock pot and I wish I had more time to just do things in general
Ok I'll get off my soapbox. I am lucky and grateful to have such an amazing job. And I do love what I do. I think what I need to do is find some sort of hobby. I love reading but sometimes am
Not in the mood to pick up a book. So I'm thinking of learning how to knit or crochet. I think it would be fun. So does anyone of you out there know how to knit or crochet. Which is easier? Did you teach yourself? Any pointers?

I taught myself to knit a little by watching the videos on youtube. I personally liked it better than crocheting. I like the look of it better. I never kept up with it though, I need to go back to doing that soon. Maybe when the wedding planning is done.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to knit or crochet but I really want to learn! I want to be able to make myself a scarf and mittens. I'm learning how important it is to take time for yourself and do things you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI just learned to crochet and will be learning to knit soon. I was advised to learn crocheting frist as it helps teach you about tension. It's pretty easy and I find it relaxing.
ReplyDeleteFeel better sweet girl! I think it's stress related. You've been under the weather a lot lately - you need to take some time to relax and rejuvenate! Saying a prayer you feel better soon! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried knitting, but crocheting is really easy once you get the basics down. Target used to sell "knitting for dummies" in the $1 section... but I havent been there in a while, so I dont know if they still sell them.
ReplyDeleteI do both knitting and crochet. I taught myself to knit by picking up a knitting how to book and there both pretty easy to learn. Hope you're feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteI do not know how but my girls really want to know so I should learn. I was told to check out youtube tutorials
