Six more rows to go
When life is hectic, working on a project can give me a break from all the crazy. But some days, even that is impossible. This week was turned on its head starting on Monday when a doctor’s visit by my husband turned into my driving him for an emergency ultrasound which led to an appointment with a surgeon which led to scheduling some not-an-emergency-but-let’s-get-you-in-before-the-end-of-the-week surgery, which led to running around to get referrals and other administrative stuff done so that said procedure can take place on Friday.
I knew that I would not have time to get really involved in anything, but I thought I could take a crochet break and at least get a round or two done in the giant blue bag. I was able to put in 18 stitches before life popped up again and I was off and running to get a few more things done.
With out the challenge I gave myself this year, I would not have sat down at all. A day would have gone by and I would have dealt with errands and phone calls and paperwork, laundry and making dinner. It would have been a productive day, but one that may have led to many more of not working on something creative. Once you have a few of those in a row, it seems harder to carve out the time to get started again.
I crocheted 18 stitches. And those stitches make me feel like I am not losing momentum. They got me 18 stitches farther along on the project. Those stitches were enough.

I love your train of thought. 18 is better than 0 and 18 less you need to do to complete your project. Hope you get a chance to do a few more next time
It is all about making progress. And some days are better than others, but at least it is forward movement.
Keep yourself on that roll, as long as it’s feasible! I hope your husband’s surgery turns out just fine.
Thanks for the encouragement! We just got home from surgery and he’s a little hurty, but it went well overall.
