Today I was so stressed out that I simply ignored my to do list that I made with the 2:30 AM, during a migraine. We spent the weekend dealing with family issues. They have not fully resolved. Before you ask my taller half and wonderful daughter and son-in-law are doing well. My brother and his wonderful wife invited us over for dinner, long story short. I called my brother and asked him to join us for dinner at a restaurant. He was smoking a leg of lamb so we drove to their house. My brother is an awesome cook. I really have to get a smoker. I really adore my sister-in-law. They make an awesome couple and have great kids too. They are the perfect people to hang out with when I need to recenter..
You might recall that when I hit a certain stress level the only thing that calms me down is cleaning. I spent most of the day cleaning. I put a lot of things away. My efforts were clearly visible. 3 bags of recycling and 2 bags of trash later, I was still stressed out, but much more calm. So I plyed 2 skeins of art yarn. Then I started spinning some more merino wool to do more plying. I still have 5 skeins of Little Flower Novelty yarn in red to ply. I am thinking that they would make a nicely woven scarf for kids. I was too stressed to knit or weave.
I will try to sleep tonight. Wish me luck. If not I have more cleaning to do.
