Server down at work. Nothing left to file (or is there), so might as well do some writing. And hope can at least save this to desktop as am writing this in Word. Wonders of technology occasionally not so wonderful. Unless maybe at providing gray hairs in those who’d like to use them. Thinking that maybe that’s why sysadmin here has so few of them. Hairs that is. Anyways.
After much hard thought and pondering… Cough. Cough. Retake. After much hard thought and pondering have decided to Change My Life. So couldn’t sleep Saturday night because was bubbling with so many plans. Or perhaps with the few-too-many cups of coffee I had that day, but let’s not get sidetracked again.
So. The Plan. Used to do lots of creative stuff when was still young and innocent. Then work came along and suddenly no more time for creativity. Work kills creativity. There you have it. So plan is to win lottery and spend days in Happy Bubble of Creativity. Since chance of that ever happening is rather small, have come up with other plan. Will try to spend two evenings per week _not_ at pc.
Instead will do stuff like drawing, knitting, crocheting, … Yay me! Am being creative. And am sure will be very good for image. Mother tends to start mumbling and grumbling whenever World of Warcraft is mentioned. Surely. Source of all evil! Videogames. Sigh. Quite sure that watching TV all evening is a _much_ better way of spending your time. Ahum. Sidetrackness ftl.
Sitting at computer isn’t just fun, it’s also very easy and convenient. Sit down and instant fun. At least for me. If am actually playing I don’t terribly mind. Am talking to people and doing stuff. But then there comes the point where I decide to go to bed. So, log off game and then… start surfing da interweb. Lots of silly sites to be seen (there are a lot of idiotic people on this planet) and before I know it, it’s an hour later. Le sigh.
So, have decided to not do that for a few days every week. Should check on state of Cupboard of Creativity. Pencils should be present and functional. Are pencils, so not much reason to not be functional. But paint may be dried out and plenty of other possible nastinesses to be discovered. Know for a fact that have at least two immaculate canvases waiting to be touched. Like a viiiiirgin! Teehee.
Most ambitious part of the plan is the knitting and crocheting. Haven’t really done that since was a child. Really young and innocent. Chuckle. Done some knitting over the past few years. Fishies! Little baby hats! And really seems to be like riding a bicycle. Was also great fun and went rather well, so have decided to really start knitting. House will soon by Wool Wonderland. Oh, can already imagine the Joy of the Husband. Of course he _will_ be pleased when he gets a nifty knitted hat. Surely. Nods at self.
When it comes to crocheting will venture into happy world of amigurumi. Cute little animals, foodstuffs, whatnots, … Can be a slightly bigger as well. Saw pattern of nifty dragon: 55 cm! but maybe start with something smaller. After all, last time I crocheted (???) something I must have been nine or ten. Watching tutorial on da interweb made me realise that crocheting is _also_ like riding a bike. So many things are! Amazing and totally yay (of course).
There we go. The Plan has been laid before you. Part two: Sticking To The Plan, will be attempted soon. Decided I’d go for Mondays and Thursdays. But lack of materials might cause this Monday to be ruined already. Am having some serious Functional Pencils thoughts and ideas are bubbling inside head. Hopefully will actually carry on and grab functional pencil and paper tonight. Also decided to switch Thursdays for Wednesdays. Mother will be less lonely on visits for sure.
And then. In three weeks time (trust you do remember purple bracelet guy’s theory of change) this routine should be all settled. And there will be wool and happiness and much much glee. Skip. Glee.
