In the subjective.
I haven't read my flist in at least a week. I'm not sure if I'll catch up or just start from the day I find the wherewithal to start reading again. If there's anything you especially don't want me to miss, please let me know in the comments. This is mostly an "I'm not dead" post.
Things:
~ Last I read, a lot of people were suffering from dislocation depression. Sadly, I think I'm in that boat, despite the fact that I'm pretty much living in my dream house now and the climate of Florida is agreeing with me so far.
~ I got a Fibropedic mattress and Viscosoft pillows for Christmas. They are awesome so far. Also got my Ambien refill, so sleep is being had.
~ Unfortunately, I'm not adjusting to the new time zone very well, so I get to sleep very late and wake up late, and this is not conducive to good health.
~ I'm trying to fill my waking hours with productivity, which includes baking. I like treating the kitchen like a home lab, and yesterday I set up a GF sourdough starter. Unfortunately, it overflowed the first container I put it in, on account of lack of sealability. I've switched it to other containers, which is working better for holding, but getting it out of them to make bread would be a pain, so I need to pick up a quart jar or something. Anyway, I vaguely remember something about sharing starters, so I'll be looking up how that works again, and possibly offer some starter to the GF bakers on my flist this time next year.
~ Also still knitting like a fiend. I'm about midway through my first clapotis, which seems to be a modern knitter's rite of passage. This one is for Eliza, made with Cotton Rayon Seed, which is texturally very interesting. Also got one fingerless glove made for myself, but the cold spell has momentarily passed and the yarn for the clap came, so the next one will be made when this is done.
~ I started a poem last night, which I think is the first since the move, so that's something.
~ There are some stresses I'm not sure talking about would help, but overall things are good. It's frustrating that part of the depression seems to be depression that I'm not happier when I feel like I should be.
