Days 17-23

Hi guys,

So I've been pretty sick with the flu and asthma so not much knitting has been done. Even my knitting needles have barely been touched.

I've made some small yet significant progress on the scarf. It's taken awhile but it will certainly be worth it once it's done. I managed 4 rows on day 17
REFLECTIONS:
- How does it feel to be unconscious? How does it feel to NOT know what you are doing moment to moment?
This question is in reflection to the task assigned for the day a mindfulness exercise. Termed like this pretty bad and displaced.
- What challenges did you face when you tried this exercise? What did you find hard?

Keeping an eye on what I was doing and not actually multitasking like I usually do. Although I probably got more knitting done in that ten minutes than I have all month. Although this scarf is taking forever.- What distractions keep you from living a more conscious life? How can you minimise them?
My never ending to-do list for the day, so much to do in such little time and energy. 

Day 18: No knitting was done. But I don't feel guilty about that, the flu is going around the house & sleep was far too important and vital for my health.

Day 19: 4 rows of a child's hat were cast on. I am using a grey and purple. I love this colour combo. Yes, I started another W.I.P but it's day 19! Guys! C'mon that scarf is sucking up my time. Yes it's important no it won't be abandoned but I really, really don't like knitting scarves. That's ok though I will do it for those who ask very nicely.

Day 20 was spent in the hospital. No knitting was done, everything is well.

Day 21-23 No knitting was done. Been taking care of my one-year-old and myself who both are still sick with the flu it's awful.

Will get back to knitting and blogging like normal when the household is better.
