Ok. So I haven’t been writing in my blog.  Just because I have a broken wrist doesn’t mean that I should suddenly stop all communication right? (or so I’ve been told by multiple people).

Have I been knitting. Very Very Very little. I mean that. I can maybe do 2 or 3 rows at the moment. Spinning is just as hard.  My arm is sore due to over using it at work with typing and using it when I shouldn’t. In all reality it should be in a sling but that just annoys me so I don’t use one.

 

Now, I had tried to do the whole Sock Madness thing. But I just couldn’t. By the time everyone had finished a pair of socks I was just finishing the toe of the first sock. Shows you how little I have been knitting.

Ephiphany

I have come to the realization that I am addicted to my knitting. I know you are all saying “yeah whatever Morgan, you should have clued into that a long time ago gimpy” but really, NOT being able to do it has made me realize how dependent upon it I really am.

The night I got home after breaking my wrist I had a panic attack at the thought of not knitting or being able to do anything with fibre.  So I searched for the crochet hook. Found it and could do a few chains. A very few. But that was better than nothing right? Then my wrist would get super sore and I would then have to rest.  Honestly I thought I would have to crawl out of my skin just to get away from the horrible feeling of sitting there doing nothing.

So I am dependent upon my knitting, spinning and crochet to escape from reality.  Since I don’t have the diversion I’ve noticed that there are a lot more things bothering me.  Any book that has someone dieing in it I can’t read or I skip that part. Same with tv shows and movies.  And I am not finishing books either.  So basically I am being forced to deal with stuff I don’t want to. Such is life.

There are other things going on, mostly all good, but my wrist is killing me so no more typing here.

2 weeks down, 4 more to go. I can’t wait to have a “normal” bath again!!
