I gave up trying to reply to the old list after spending time composing lengthy updates with my thumbs only to have them disappear into the yahoo ether. Dealing with that was just another item on a long list of things I really should get around to doing but don't. I'm trying to make progress with that list, but it is slow. This week I finally got the collision place that replaced the entire back end of my car to properly glue down the kick pad on the bumper (I accidentally backed into our garage on one of those Monday mornings way back in June). I've been driving around for months with this stupid piece of rubber threatening to fall off, but the effort of dealing with it seemed overwhelming.
In a nutshell....school-aged children. Finley is 13 and Eulalia is almost 9, and they consume far more of my time and energy than at any time previously. And what gaps remain are soon sucked up by work. But both those things are good. I'm knitting, spinning, embroidering and sewing at intervals, still running - not much has changed really. It is just going by at a ridiculously fast pace. Does it ever slow down?
