Well, I broke the "block" on the Beaded Rib socks this afternoon. I had been sitting in my office, trying to read journal articles, (tired from a night of poor sleep) and listening to the increasing bangs and crashes of the air conditioner guys fixing the heating and A/C system on the roof.

So I bailed. Bailed and went home, put on a housecoat and sat cross-legged on my bed, and read journal articles and knit on the socks. I am now almost done with the heel flap of the first sock. And I have gotten through three times as many articles this afternoon as I did this morning. And I remember what I read.

quiet is good
knitting while I read is good.

but, I'm afraid I might be getting adult-onset ADHD. It's increasingly difficult to read stuff in my office with people walking by in the hall, and mystery bumps and bangs from the building repair, and all that.
