boy. i have been too exhausted to do anything. i haven’t checked emails. i haven’t updated the site. i haven’t taken the zillions of photos that i need to take, i haven’t done…anything whatsoever. and we all know how much i love getting nothing at all done. i have had a bunch of days that i couldn’t get out of bed, or got up, took a shower and that was all i could manage. it has been not so fun. so that is where i have been. i have severe guilt about not blogging, and i also have severe guilt about just posting my bitching and moaning and nothing fun for you all to look at. i guess i am a bit of a people pleaser that way. i feel like if i don’t have anything to show you, you won’t come over to my bloggy. i have had a few friends that let me know that my maladies got on their nerves and inconvenienced them, and as angry as it made me at the time, i guess i realize that it hurt my feelings and my brain rerouted it as anger at the time. i hate ditching out at the last minute. i hate it so much that i don’t make plans much anymore.

today, i felt a bit better. i cleaned up my studio. we got a new vacuum cleaner that actually picks stuff up! imagine that! our old one just spit stuff out and caused my asthma and allergies to go nutso, so it wasn’t cracked out so often. this new one has a scented filter! how cool is that? so, you wanna see some sick photos of how fiber and dust covered my studio was? this is not for the feint of heart.
dirty carpet.
this is the point that i had to empty it, about 2 minutes in…
one of 2 1/2 loads
i know. shameful and gross. grody. but kinda cool. like popping a super gross big zit. and…taddaaaa! clean! i even cracked out the brush attachment and dusted the electronics and everything in there. clean!
first load of vacuum cleaner.
spinning chair...vaccuumed!
anyone want to spin up this mess? ew.

i have a bunch of new amigurumi on my flickr. not all have their info added yet, and they will all be for sale, let me know if you want dibs on one.

also, i made this strange little crocheted peak, which jake thought was a penis, and while i know it looks like one, i plan to make more of them to stand in a cluster together. dunno why. a giant one would be awesome. it really would. in the same vein, i think that a tree made similarly would be amazing.
striped mountain. i swear.

all week i have had strange nightmares. in one, jake left me for reasons he wouldn’t say and became a monk. i couldn’t get to him to even try to talk. this is super not like him. so. in another, this hippy dude had taken all of my spinning fiber and attempted to get “hemp oil” out of it. probably 50 lbs of really nice fiber. i was pissed. why would you get hemp oil out of animal fiber? hmmm.

off to answer emails.
i missed you all and appreciated your interest and concern. it really means a lot to me. barbe and katrina are some incredibly kind broads. love ya guys!

blah. blah. so blah.

yesterday i was exhausted after our day out. i forget sometimes why i don’t go out a whole lot. i start to think that i am just being lazy or uptight. in reality, i get really pooped really fast, like a baby. or a cat, maybe. anyway, i woke up this morning feeling beyond exhausted. i was hoping to get up earlier, but i had to take meds before i felt well enough to even check mail. i will be heading down for coffee in a bit and i have been up since before 8. it is now after noon. i hate it. we had a really good time yesterday.

while we were out jake took some photos of me unbeknownst to me (i was in a junk induced euphoria) and when i saw the photos i was truly horrified. i am not trying to be self deprecating, i really am unhappy with myself. the worst part is that i know it is because i don’t exercise. i don’t eat a lot and i really don’t eat anything bad, or not very often, anyway. i have major food issues as does my mom and my grandmother. i was on the atkins diet and lost a bunch of weight but literally lost the urge to eat. anyone that says that diet doesn’t work isn’t actually following it (or has a serious hormonal issue. my appetite absolutely went away. and i was thinner than i had ever been and was totally addicted to losing weight. the thing with that diet is that i am an all or nothing obsessive kinda gal so i couldn’t start adding carbs. ones i was off of the extreme phase which is less than 20 grams of carbs a day, and i was literally doing way less than that. just sugarless gum, sugar free chocolate (i found some brands that are soooo good) and coffee. if i have to start adding carbs to do the maintainence, i can’t do it. i fall off the truck and slowly gain the weight back. which is what has happened and i am not happy about it. i have to exercise and the thing that sucks is that i know that i have limited energy and if i blow it on that, i may not have any left for work. my mom keeps telling me that i will have more energy if i work out, but lupus and chronic fatigue (and then some) are not the same as just being out of shape, you know?

okay, well, coffee time. yay!
