knitting at the crack of dawn

yes, it's come to that. it's the only way i can be productive. i got up at 6:15 monday morning to knit. the plan was to make that a routine. 6:15 every day and either go to the gym or knit (sometimes i have to be at work early, but even then i don't have to leave until 8:00.

that plan lasted all of one day. by monday afternoon, i was exhausted, i had a headache, and my finger hurt. (the former two were knitting-related, but i don't know what happened to my finger. it still hurts, though.)

maybe i actually will get my act together, but i've realized that i need to be more creative in order to make it work. i can't just sit there and knit hats without being in some sort of in depth coversation/activity, and i don't have a television. so perhaps i will make fewer items but they will be more unique. i really think i can do this. i just have to take all these little goals one step at a time. i just got my credit card bill and it was way better than last month. and i've finally begun to cook more and to cook extra so i can bring lunch to work. sam is trying to do the same, and that's helping a lot. team work!

oh. and remember that image that refused to upload onto my computer last week? here it is!
