new toy
Looky...new toy!
My aunt Colleen gave it to me. It came from her aunt, who we think used it a lot. I'm really excited to learn how to spin. I don't know how adept at it I'll be, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
In other news...there isn't really any other news. I've been basically laying low most of the weekend because every time I eat anything, the gallbladder kicks my ass. I can't NOT eat...so I have to just kind of suck it up. It's not excruciating, but it's enough to make me feel icky and blah and like not wanting to go out and do any more than I have to. So that's basically what I've been doing.
I didn't sleep very much at all last night...that's not helping, either. I went from anxiety-ridden about not feeling good to finally falling asleep and having awful dreams about fighting with Mark (which never happens in real life so it's all the more disturbing when I dream about it). I woke up to the phone ringing at 6:30...mom waking me up to go grocery shopping. I put the phone back down and proceeded to sit and bawl my eyes out for a good 10 minutes, still overwhelmed by the bad dreams and just generally being over-tired. Tonight is an in-bed-by-9 night, I do believe. Not that I think I'll need it, but I'm going to take a half dose of sleeping pill momentarily, just to ensure that I don't have another night like last night.

Sorry about the bad dreams. That's the worst because you just lay there, thinking about the bad thing, feeling generally bad.
But you have a new tool to bring the happy! I can't wait to see the yarn that you spin.
nerd! ;o) i await many fabulous textile-based gifts. xo
I'm sorry you've been having bad dreams. Sometimes when I'm especially anxious-feeling, I end up visualizing horrible things while I'm awake and it's completely overwhelming.
Your wheel is beautiful, and spinning is one of the most immersing and relaxing things you can do (once you get the hang of it of course). What a wonderful gift.
...and what a beauteous toy it is ;-) Best of luck in learning how to use it. I went to a retreat last year down in Deerfield, MA where one of the attendees (a lady from Bennington, VT) was using an old-fashioned (as in dating from many centuries ago) dangling hand-spinning wheel. She was at it every time there was not an activity requiring the use of hands. It was entrancing to watch. I believe she was spinning alpaca fiber. Best of luck on regaining your health and getting much-needed rest.
I don't know much about spinning, but that is an absolutely gorgeous wheel. I'm sorry to hear about your gallbladder, but it'll be over soon!
BTW, this is WhatJohannaSays from LSG.
