It's no fun here. We've hit the one month mark until I leave for Japan, and I still don't feel like I've got my ducks in a row. My financial situation with my credit cards and student loans need to be straightened out, which could probably be helped by declaring bankruptcy. That and my room is still packed with excess yarn, lots of books, and all of my craft supplies, and a lot of that is getting donated or sold. I suppose an international move is a good way to cut down your stash. There was a lot of acrylic yarn that I inherited from friends and my crocheting grandmother, so that will all be freed to frolic with Indiana's female prison population. Thank goodness someone realized that knitting and crocheting are good emotional therapies.
With all the distractions, I've done next to no knitting aside from the bit waiting through the previews before Hot Fuzz (Hilarious movie, see it now before Spiderman 3 knocks it out of the theaters). I suppose I'll have to kill a lot of time in the two weeks I'll be back in IL before I go. I foresee my many unfinished projects being wrapped up. And there is that really nice yarn shop in my hometown with the awesome clearance section...
In sadder news, my car died on me Saturday. Fortunately is was just the starter motor, and I got it replaced for a reasonable amount. I still have to sell my trusty Buick so I can afford the plane ticket to Osaka. Anyone need a reliable car for less than a grand?
