Spinning my wheels while in Quarantine

noxcatWhile 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.

I hope you can find your direction!

Honestly, what I most need to do is find at least one, preferrably more, steady stream of income. But a lot of potentials will have to wait til the new laptop is here and set up for Accessibility.
