Blogging absence

Seems I’ve not been able to blog for one reason or another lately. Mostly, I’ve not felt terribly inspired but hopefully that will change soon. I think maybe it’s a matter of just sitting down and writing a bit.

Life’s going pretty well at the moment. We still have the issue that turned our lives upside down a while back to be resolved. It’s out of our hands right now and it’s really just a matter of time. It’s not affecting us so much on a daily basis but the resolution will be a good thing.

We are at the start of our winter here and it’s been pretty wet so far. I’ve been working on a crocheted afghan I started a couple years ago for Lego Lover. He’s no longer interested in this particular project but I’d like to finish it before starting something new. I had a bit of a spurt today and got through about three small balls of yarn. It’s going to be a very imperfect project because I seem to have lost stitches on one side over several rows but it will be unique and will just be for home anyway. With the cold, wet weather, I should be more motivated to keep going but mostly I’ve been working on it while the Game Fanatic is at Dungeons and Dragon’s on alternating Sundays. Today, I broke out of the rut and worked on it in the evening while we were playing the Zelda game for the Wii that we got a year and a half ago. I quit mainly due to tiredness and soreness from the repetitive motion.

I’m not sure if it’s weather-related but I seem to have acquired lots of aches and pains lately. I’ve had some instability with both my kneecaps and now my shoulder is hurting again. The other sort of arthritic pains have also reappeared.

This past week, we saw my mother-in-law off on a holiday. She will be leaving on a cruise this evening from England for over week, I think. It’s her first cruise so I hope she has a great time. Afterwards she will be visiting her sister for a few months. We also welcomed back my father-in-law, who has been in Sri Lanka for some time. I had a chance to chat with him at length when we went to visit and he was very chatty compared to usual.

I was going to write more but I’m not feeling particularly well at the moment so will try to save my thoughts for more regular posts.
