The weather is struggling to change, and I feel it inside of me too. One day it's gray and chilly, then misty rain and humidity, only to change completely to warm sun and high 70s. I never know what to tell everyone to wear. This week we will have nighttime lows in the 40s and daytime highs in the 70s. Yes, Daughter, you'll need a wool hat with your shorts today!
Such a random and confusing time of year.
I want to sew...I want to go to Joann's and come home with great heaping piles of denim, corduroy and flannel. Wait, let me amend my statement. I want to shop for sewing stuff. I can't really seem to get myself to the machine, despite my imagination working overtime. The kids could use new hats and mittens to match this year's coats. The pile of yarn is sitting on my desk gathering dust. I'm having trouble anchoring myself in the moment and just starting what needs to be started. We are also expecting a new niece in two months, and I keep going over my plans for what to make her in my head, but nothing is getting done. I seem to think I have all the time in the world.
I fret over this weird internal thing I have going on, even though I recognize it and it happens every autumn. I will pull out of it, most likely without noticing until one day I realize, hey, I feel better.
It's naptime, and Daughter is at school. The house is quiet except for the clock ticking. I believe I will cast on for a hat. Yes, that would be good.

We just started with a new speech therapist today who I really like and I have high hopes for a good year. Wow, five days a week! I feel like once a week is a lot!
I can sympathize with the untethered feeling. I bought a bunch of courderoy and flannel with the hopes of making some jumpers and jammies. Sewing seems harder than knitting. Its not portable :P
As for knitting I keep casting on socks, sweaters and blankets but not finishing anything. The weather is decidedly more fallish so hopefully I'll get motivated and start finishing things!
