the antibiotics suck. man, do i hate them. i am nauseous all the time. i feel hungry and then when i try to eat, i feel like i will hurl. i have the itchies, and i have spells where i have a hard time breathing. i then take a puff of the ole’ inhaler and get the shakes. really bad. and my mouth tastes like…well, puke, really. mmm. want a kissy? no? why not? and when you open the antibiotics bottle, it smells like rotten eggs. ok, enough complaining.

so, i planned to dye fiber today in addition to spinning. i took the fiber down to the kitchen and felt so dizzy that i decided maybe to-morrow i will do it. not cool. i spun a big skein of silk, which is really pretty. and i crocheted with twine. god, is it boring. man oh man. useful, but boring. i made a small basket for jake to put his pocket contents in when he comes home or goes to work, and a bigger one of jute for the same purpose which he seemed to really dig. despite the fact that it is ugly. it is so 70’s. crochet in general. there are people that make gorgeous things, not me though. not my bag, i think. i said i would learn it, and i did. next is basketweaving.

i also have been really bad about reading my millions of blogs, and the problem with that is that it is my inspiration for the new business, ideas, things i need to do, places i need to submit work to, etc. when i don’t read them, i forget. i also forget that i need to do as much as i possibly can, various things. that is why i am doing it full-time. and i only focus on fiber and forget all the other things i wanted to do. so i need to make a point to set time aside everyday to read blogs, and blog. i am going to write an actual schedule for each day. a to-do list. not that i am lazy, or don’t get things done. that isn’t the case. there are new things i want to make sure to do, in addition to fiber, and i need to make sure to keep my focus. i need to get a couple of my blog-business friends to keep me on track and i them, although i feel like they are super focused compared to me. i wanted to do the sampler, and completely flaked on it. among other things. all of my news about exhibits and craft shows and whatnot comes from blogs and it is irresponsible to not stay up to date on them. sigh.

amy and i went to the biweekly auction. there was a lot of vintage underthings and pajamas that i wanted and probably went for cheap, but i felt so sick and started with the cold sweats, etc that i told amy i wanted to go home. i then showered, dizzy and pukey and got into bed with the chills. i may get back up and spin a bit. or no. i am so pooped. and i still can’t see right. my eye is all puffy and creepy.

god, i am a miserable creature. not to-morrow! i sold some stuff on etsy that i have to send out.

sorry to be so blah. the new survivor started! yay!

xo,
