Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE eye care, I love what I have done for the past five years, and really had hoped to continue on that path. I have had two good jobs in the past year. One that didn't quite fit, and I left on good terms and this one, which was perfect... except for being ill the last six weeks.
My goal now is to recover fully from pneumonia, get back to the dojo and get my strength back and reinvent the muse, again.
I've been wanting to go back to school for a few years now, this may be the time, before Maddy goes off to college. I enjoyed working for myself several years ago with my little yarn and fiber business, but physically I think that's going to be difficult, and the market is saturated with indie dyers and spinners, but I am pretty sure I can find a little niche, carve out my corner of Etsy or ArtFire, maybe with the right product take advantage of the farmer's markets in the area.
In other, happier news, being forced to either nap, or sit on the couch and stare at the idiot box for the last few days, I've managed to reknit the entire back of the Badlands for Maddy. I made the mistake of not checking the armhole depth before I finished the back. She could wear it, but it was TIGHT. So knitting accomplished. I also managed to make two wash cloths yesterday. Nothing to terribly exciting, the stand by Grandma's Favorite in some HL I love this Cotton. But what is a mom supposed to do when her kid walks up to her and says, "mom, where are all the wash cloths?" Make some of course.
