Despite my intentions of spending recovery time knitting or doing some other creative sedentary venture, I’ve let it all languish. I feel desperately un-creative. I look at my yarn stash and think, “I’ll never use this stuff, and it’s taking up space,” and struggle with the desire to get rid of it. Same with my art supplies. I feel an urge to simplify. It’s astonishing to me what accumulates over time, and if we decide to move this year, a we need to lighten our load. So I’m feeling restless to do this.<\/p>\n
Plus we may purchase a stationary bike for me, and where is that going to go? I still have two boxes of maternity clothes in the closet. <\/p>\n
I’ve been really successful in keeping new book acquisition to a minimum. <\/p>\n
I just don’t know what to do with this impulsive energy. <\/p>\n
Once upon a time I didn’t make stuff — I didn’t make arts or crafts, and I didn’t have closets full of supplies. My life was simpler. I read and I exercised. Now I waste so much time on the Internet — I do read, too, but exercise doesn’t happen. And I need to make that happen.<\/p>\n
