When I asked Steven could we skip doing laundry tonight so I could work on my article for Mohawk Valley Living, I had no intention of wussing out, Wuss-out Wednesday or not. My brain had other ideas. Oh, that’s an inaccuracy. My brain has no ideas whatsoever! My article isn’t finished. My blog post isn’t written. All I want to do is sit on the couch and crochet.
Some windows were open at work today. As I felt the almost spring air come in, I could feel myself coming back to life. I felt relief, joy and longing. Oh, I wanted to DO something! So I was not thinking about my article, my novel or my play. I was thinking what I could possibly do on Saturday. Or even tonight.
I was aware as I sat there daydreaming that my brain was not functioning up to par. It must have been functioning somewhat, because I got my work done and even managed to work on a couple of puzzles during breaks. Yes, yes, I worked on puzzles in a puzzle book during my breaks, I did not write, stop looking at me with that judgmental expression, you’re not perfect, either, you know.
I did work on my article a little. I think what I’ve got is good, I just want more. I think what I’ve got so far for a blog post is not very good at all. And I don’t want more! I want my crochet! This is dreadfully embarrassing, but as an annoying saying goes, it is what it is. Let’s see if I can do better on Thursday. I hope I’ll still have readers.
Mohawk Valley Girl 
Aaahhh!! I have tried to crochet at least six times and each time I fail. I get hyped up and try it again, randomly, and end up with the string of…nothing. Lol I’m so jealous.
Well, I know how to make one thing: afghans. They are giant granny squares. You see, many years ago a friend taught me how to make granny squares but moved away before teaching me how to hook them together. So I just make giant granny squares. Oh, and there are these little Christmas tree ornaments I invented, based on a granny square stitch. I encourage you to try again. Perhaps seven is the charm.
I have never tried to crochet, but I did have to turn in a blog post today for another site and completed my mission, MVG! I want to do something with spring coming, too, so I walked up by the Carrier Dome and took some trees-by-the-monster edifice photos for my WordPress Photo 101 class, but that’s not quite what I needed. Anyway, I am feeling your wanderlust, but I cannot crochet.
I like to crochet and would one day like to learn how to do more things, for example a single crochet stitch (see my above comment how I only know granny squares; that’s a double crochet stitch) (I should write a blog post about my weird crochet knowledge). Now I need a blog post for today and I’ve used up all my brain cells at last completing my article for Mohawk Valley Living. I hope to feed my wanderlust on Saturday.
Congrats on finishing your article, MVG. Yay to that.
Thanks
