Decisions and Kinks

I got a kink in my neck this morning and it really hurts. I hate it when this happens, even though it hasn't happened in a really long time. I thought I was cured. What a joke that was. At least I don't have to go anywhere or do anything today except sit here like a vegetable.

So knitting is the new yoga, and so I got back into it. I've started on my first real thing, after finishing my initial requisite scarf with fringe. It's dark red. I'm not sure what I want to do with it. Maybe give it to my niece for her birthday. Even though she will probably hate it and never wear it, which is how kids are supposed to react to clothes you give them. I also decided to make a hanging sculpture (also known as a mobile, but I don't know exactly how that word is pronounced, so I'll stick to "hanging sculpture") made out of crystals. I'm almost done with it. Who knew I could be so crafty. But I guess that's what you do with crazy people--arts and crafts.

Tomorrow I'll bring home the rest of my paint and painting accoutrements and start something new. I'm not sure what, so I guess I'll have to think on it a while. At least it will keep me busy for a while.

I'm ready for the nice weather to get here, but it's supposedly going to rain tomorrow and Wednesday, leaving a bunch of yucky mud in its wake. I'm hoping it will wait, because I'd like to go to a softball game tomorrow night, but who knows. I will most likely go see a bad movie involving Antonio Banderas and dancing, so that should be interesting. I'm trying to be creative about things I can go out and do, and to my surprise, it's not that difficult. It's just expensive. Hopefully my tax return will be here soon, though, and my social well being will improve. The pro at the club would be happy about that. And if I can discontinue her services, that's another sixty bucks a month I'll have at my disposal. But I'm sure work will get in the way then...

I still believe I'm a confused individual, with lots of problems and a tendency (or compulsion) to make really bad decisions. I'm trying to do better, but it's hard to know what life is supposed to be until you get the benefit of hindsight.

But my decision for today is to read, write, take a hot bath, and have some vino. Hopefully nothing too terrible can come from that.
