I’m referring to my day to day life. I can sew at retreats but life takes hold when I’m just doing my normal day to day. I remember those days when my plan for the weekend was to lock myself up in my sewing room. That has changed a lot and I wonder where the heck has my time gone.

Regular stuff has taken over my life- exercise, cooking, cleaning, going to the grocery store. I’ve mentioned the great move and yet I don’t think I’ve actually talked about it. I’ll have to do a post about that soon.

I’ve been working later in the day and I’m trying to go to yoga 3x a week. It’s hard to make sure I have the time to do that as well as my regular responsibilities. And then one day a week I have a minigroup zoom session or dinner plans with friends. And poof- the week is over and I have to start all over.

Every couple of months I make my way up north to visit my mom and check in on anything she needs. So that’s another thing.

All of these things need to be done and I do it. But all I want to do some days is sew.

I hate adulting. But as I figure things out I’m slowly enjoying what a routine provides. Order, calm, and joy.
