Sleepy Shadow

I had a nap earlier and slept for at least two hours and will not be going to bed as late as I normally do. This week has been tiring but worthwhile in the fact it made me realise I want to do the education thing again I enjoyed being in the classroom learning (or at least sharing my knowledge). So I shall have to poke that and see what is available.

In other news I have an interview and it's for an area I have an interest in crafts. So I have some smart new interview clothes and enthusiasm. Plus I've lost two pounds in weight so all that walking I've been doing this week has definitely been good for me onward and downwards hopefully.

My beloved had his birthday today and was pleased with the gifts he got and very delighted that I brought home chocolate and muffins for him, well you should have some sort of cake on your birthday.

Crafting

I love crafts, really I do! I cross stitch, crochet, beading and sew but I'm not doing any of them right now and haven't for a few weeks now. I miss the relaxation they give me but when I try to do one of them I practically stop before I’ve started. I just cannot find the energy or motivation to do it and I hate that and then myself for a bit.

I have a kit that I got free with a magazine it's to make a small pin cushion in the shape of a mouse. I've had it for nearly two weeks and all I've managed to do in that time is cut out the pattern from the magazine and the ears from the fabric. It's sat on my desk staring at me but every time I try and do anything with it all my intentions to be productive or at least just cut a bit out desert me and it stays where it is.

I think that is the worst thing about my depression at the moment is that it has stolen my pleasure and relaxation in my crafts.
