so, i got a lot of work done today. i talked to my mum for a while, who has been having a bit of a hard time of it. i spun up a custom order, watched part of my dvd of masterpiece theatre “bleakhouse” a charles dickens affair, whilst spinning, strung a zillion sequins to ply said yarn. returned a bunch of emails, did some invoices and things like that (weeeeee!) and got a really flattering offer from another spinner, in addition to a secret project that i will spill as soon as i am told i can. i have been doing loads of special orders, and i am not sure that i will try so hard to update the site so much. if people want something they can email me and let me know and i will send it, otherwise, the shops i sell to and my regulars are maybe the better way to use my time and energy. i am best when i can just put my head down and work work work. i am not good at switching gears.

so i had to go to joann’s as i said before, and ran out after getting all of the stuff done. whilst there, as usual (the lights i think) i started to sweat and got a sickening taste in my mouth and my eye starting flicking, which it is still doing, and then felt like i would throw up. so i got home and made dinner and just worked on the poppy scarves putting the poppies on. boooooring. i got new colors, though. orange flowers, dusty pink, and mustardy yellow. really pretty. i will post pics to-morrow. i will try anyway.

i have a buttload of dyeing to do for secret pal (like 20 lbs of yarn) which i am not looking forward to. additionally, i have to pack up orders to-morrow which takes me FOREVER. i am sooooo slow it is ridiculous. i pack everything with tissue and freebies and i make a little card, etc, etc. and attempt to send the right thing to the right place.

whilst on the phone, i told my mom that i thought i had numerical dyslexia, because i have almost every single symptom (?) and she said…yeah, we knew that. when i was tested for IQ, they told my parents and they thought that it wouldn’t be a problem because i was fairly smart. sigh. so i beat my head against a wall for my entire educational career until college when i figured out how to study. except for algebra or chemistry, which i just quit. plus the java class when java was invented, 150 years ago. ha. anyway, when i looked at the code, i couldn’t find mistakes. ever. and i was the only one in the class that couldn’t do it. at all. i just couldn’t see it. and flash cards don’t help with things like that. so. sigh.

ok, i have a bad headache, so off to shower and work on some stuff for my upcoming trunk show. i got a book today in the mail that i don’t remember ordering, the crafter’s companion, which is lovely, but i am not sure where it came from. my memory is horrible, so i really may have ordered it. good for me, if i did.

i can’t see out of my right eye so well. going. seriously. a better post to-morrow. swear!
