I've been neglecting "the list". I've been busyish but nothing that I'd put on there. So today I'm going to start on the bras. Steph's coming round tomorrow for a sleepover so I'll get her helping out as well. It's pretty desperate as I'm completely broke. I've paid off last month's stuff but this month is starting to roll in again and I've no way of paying. I've not done any transcription this month because the client hadn't paid me for the last two invoices so I decided not to do anything until she sorted it out. My Dad's money is almost sorted out but I'm not holding my breath for it.
The increase in anti-depressants has been great. Most days I'm feeling good now. Still have an odd bad day but the difference is immense.
This morning I got up, fed the cats; chased out the black and white cat who was hiding upstairs; washed and hung out the spare continental quilt; baked a batch of blueberry muffins; unblocked the sink; washed all the dark stuff; cleaned the litter tray; sorted all the recycling that's been in the garden for months; cleaned the bath; done all the dishes and wrote this blog post. Oh and weighed myself and I've lost that last 2lb that I was stuck on. I'm now 20st so still a way to go but the next pound will take me to my "teens" and that in itself is a boost.
I also made a deal with my cousin that the first thing I knit I'll send to her for her little boy. So I'm going to move on from practicing the different stitches and try to move on to actually make something.
I've been going swimming once a week which has been fun. Doctor is applying for me to do the exercise on prescription which will help as it's a fiver a go just to swim and I really can't afford it. Now that Steph and I have been to the pool a few times I have more confidence about maybe going alone.
I fixed my dyson. So the part I thought was the filter isn't after all and on finding the filter realised it has never been cleaned (5 or more years I've had it). After doing that it was like I had brand new carpets down, I actually ran out of carpets and was gutted. Next is to fix the carpet cleaner but first I'll add that to the list.
Oh and whilst I'm still using this blog I want to start making more of it. I might transfer all this to wordpress at some point. I'm struggling to come up with a name for it though, mohawk-chick won't cut it as it needs to be something more descriptive. Although I love the mohawkchick moniker, I've had it for about 13 years.
edited to say NaNoWriMo has gone shockingly. I've only managed 500 words but I'm feeling different about the whole thing. I've stopped thinking about what other people might want to read and just right the story that I want to write. Once it's done I can print it off and put it in the bottom drawer and then maybe I can start on the next book, the one that's going to need all my imagination.
