It's already shaping up to be a challenging week. EVERYONE is having some kind of crisis, and either that means I lose my helper, or someone needs more help from me, or something.
In the old days, I would be online right now ordering yarn. Or fabric. Or books. But as part of my new enforced austerity (so I can afford to take a summer off from teaching), I'm not.
I'm telling myself that I WILL, when I finally do get home, take part of the 30 minutes between the end of my workday and my evening meeting (you think I am joking? I WISH I was joking) and cast on for a new pair of simple socks with some yarn from my stash. I have some K1C2 "Ty-Dye Socks" that I want to compare to the Mini Mochi socks (which, yes, I finally did finish) and the "Poems" socks (second sock just barely begun, and I wound up catching the yarn on my slipper and breaking the yarn in progress - grr). Ty-Dye seems like it should be a better-behaved yarn while still giving the sort of random stripey patterning.
I probably SHOULDN'T get another project going when I have so many that are languishing....but....what else can a person do to make themselves feel better? I'm trying to limit spending, limit calorie intake (therefore no stopping off for a milkshake on the way home - and anyway, the Braum's near me CLOSED.) I don't have a cat or a dog to snorgle, I don't have anyone who is glad to see me when I get home. So I'm doing what I can to try to make this week seem less awful.

A new project is a perfectly fine way to self-comfort. What law says there's a limit to the number of projects you can have on the go at once? It's YOUR HOBBY! :)
