Spinning my wheels while in Quarantine

While the state may have started slowly reopening, I'm still firmly Staying At Home. I think the state is opening up way too fast and way too early. But a Republican Governor in good with the President doesn't really care what I think.

Meanwhile, I'm feeling directionless. Again. What the hell am I doing? Where am I going with my life? I don't want to be coasting through as I seem to be doing so often, but I have no idea how to get where I want to be. I'm not even sure where tat is, other than more financially stable.

I did finally bit the bullet and buy a current technology laptop to replace this ancient (heh) hulk. I'm waiting on it to be shipped from wherever it's coming from. The next hurdle will be getting it set up for my visual accessibility needs, but that's not an issue til it gets here. But after that...? I just don't know.

I did finally start a pot of vat grass from seed last weekend, and repot the cactus. Only one more plant to repot, then everything's done there. I'm thinking I want to start another spider plant since my current one has a couple babies on it that have been protected from the depredations of my feline omnivore. One is directly above the cactus, so she's been ignoring it in favor of the easier to reach ones.

But my knitting project...that is so full of frustration and fail. I just cannot seem to get it going. I almost want to use bigger needles, but the needles I currently have are too big, and I'd rather not buy another set if I can avoid it. Oh well, at some point I'll either give up and try something else, or I'll muscle through.

Hard to find a direction to go in, in these fast-changing times. I was actually heading toward maybe having an online presence when the pandemic hit. I think I'm going to try anyway, but I have more stuff to make first, and mask-making has slowed me down some. Plus it's growing season, construction season, etc.

I'm at least determined to keep making things and build up stock.

I hope you can find your direction!

I hear you!

Good luck, I hope the laptop setup goes well!
