What am I to do with all this wool??? I'm learning how to make socks! I found a pattern for socks on youtube last night. It calls for circular needles. Circular needles are attached and used to knit in the round. I found a way to knit the socks on 2 needles. I find it easier to do it that way, then sew the seam afterwards. I stayed up all night last night just knitting 1 sock. It took the better part of 6 hours. I'd like to make them to sell if I can make a bunch of them. Only it takes so long to make a pair.
I've been watching a show called "Prisoner: Cell Block H" from 1979. They have over 600 episodes so that should keep me busy while knitting. I like watching something while I'm knitting. I don't know why. All those years, sitting in the TV room with my Grandmother, watching shows like "Young and the Restless." And "Coronation Street"...
I watched a lot of the show "Hoarders". I don't want to end up that way... A crazy cat lady with 50 cats... There was a guy on there who started out with 3 rats... Then they escaped... He had over 2,000 rats in his house he was keeping as pets. Just there got to be way too many at the end. I guess they don't make rat condoms! I think the gestation period is a lot shorter, too. Like bunnies. Rats' gestation time is about 22 days and bunnies is about 31 days! I guess it would be weird if they made rat and bunny condoms... Or condoms for animals... People would have to help them put them on... Awkward!
Is it just me or is September going by REALLY FAST??! I think that happens when the previous month went really slow. I'm happy that this month is going by fast because it'll be an easy month for me. I hope!
Today I have been thinking a lot about people who have cancer... I found out last night that someone has cancer. It bothers me that there's nothing I can do about it. He said that a lot of people take it harder than he has. I can see that. I was in tears. It's not fair but then again nothing is fair in this world. I just keep thinking about that. Also, I thought that maybe my father killed himself because he was sick. I don't know for sure, but I have that feeling. My mother was trying to tell me it was an accident. I know that it wasn't. I think she lives in denial about a lot of things. Some place where nobody can reach her because it doesn't seem as though we can get through to her. My Grandmother has asked my mother to go visit her and she hasn't. My brothers are learning that 'living in denial' thing. I learned it too, from her. I am trying to un-learn those things so that I can be responsible. Able to respond. To be able to respond, you have to be willing to respond or you'll just live an unresponsive life and life won't respond to you, either.
