There is some sock progress.
And some new things have been cast on.
The patchwork blocks are in progress and I am enjoying watching the fabric pile slowly reduce. The goal is to have no more than a square foot of fabric left.
I will admit that so far January is a bit rough. Even though we have blue skies, I am feeling the grimness of the middle of the dark season.
Those wise people who head for warm sandy vistas in the middle of Winter? You may be right.
I am not one for the beach but I miss daylight and working indoors means there is a lack of light in my life. Literally and figuratively.
Still. There is an abundance of good things.
As far as reading goes I have been through a period of young adult paranormal romance books and am pretty much done with the whining and angst for the moment. I have picked up a book I bought years ago that I had started reading and then misplaced and never really got back into again, even though I did eventually find it's poor lost self. It's called The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. There are several books in the series but I have a compendium of the first three so that should keep me busy. It's a Fantasy series (the lead character is a leper) and it may seem a little similar to YA paranormal, but trust me. It's like salt and sugar.
And that's where I am. Persevering though January, putting plans into motion for 2013 and putting one foot in front of another until the day starts to move.
I definitely need to plan a vacation...

January has always been rough for me -- all that cold and dark. It used to be worse when I was in a windowless office; I would get to work before the sun came up and leave for home after it had gone down, so some days I never saw the sun at all. Now I'm reassuring myself by seeing that sunset is getting later every day (even if it's only by a minute or two). It's just late enough now that it's no longer pitch black when I walk home after work!
Come to San Diego! The door is always open and the sun is mostly always shining! The nights have been cold at least for me - high 40s but the days are great!
