Journal to a Muse

Before.







































and After











Doesn't this room look better without an the TV antenna on the bed? and without printer boxes, vacuums cleaners, etc. just EVERYWHERE?!

Today I was tired... probably from the Neulasta part of the chemo protocol. Just tired... not depressed, not "sick" or nauseated... just wanting to move really, really slow. So that's mostly what I did today. I saw two clients appointments... and managed to corral my energy so as to be "up" and available them.

But what energized me (finally) was getting the "guest" rooms cleared of my hobby and reading materials so that my off-spring will have a happy place to visit come this weekend. If you have hobbies and/or collect books... it can just take up all the available space...


And this isn't EVEN where I keep my yarn stash. These are the rooms where I keep my books about painting and writing and coaching. It's where I keep my "work product." It's where my files are. And I hate filing, so usually every horizontal surface has something laid on it.


I do solemnly swear to either put things in a drawer or in the trash. NOT on the bed. Not on the floor... even though gravity always works.


And guess what, I've been knitting on the sly during the late evening news. Even while tearing up about Peter Jenning's cancer (and Dana Reeves'), I've been stitching on socks... and planing more little gems. Wheeeeeeeeeee.
