The slump is definitely over. I'm back, I feel totally "Bring it ON!!!" about life again. I don't know why - hormones, maybe? The fact that I'm now exercising in the morning AND drinking a cup of tea with breakfast (instead of not drinking any tea at all: I get home too late in the evening to be able to sleep well after even that small amount of caffeine)? The fact that I've gotten out from under some big scary things I had to do? I don't know. But I'm glad to be back.

Last night: Got 33 rows done on the "Charlotte's Easy Lace Shawl" for my mom. Once the logic of the pattern hit me, it became easier.
