I can hear the crickets chirping

Wow.  It’s been over two days short of a year since I’ve updated.  I really, REALLY suck at posting.  Okay, let’s see what’s changed in the past year:

• The shop still has lots of yarn.  Unfortunately I can’t seem to sell any of it.
• I’m still worried about the bills and paying employees, so nothing new there.  However, now I am “divorcing” (in the state of it’s-not-final-on-paper-but-IS-everywhere-else) and have to pay myself too.
• We have a shop cat!  She’s a great big, full of herself baby and we all adore her.  People come in to bring her treats–even those who don’t knit!
• My oldest son is this close to graduating high school and starting college at GA State.  My younger one is “graduating” elementary school and will be starting Middle School next fall.  (Lord, may I please survive the next 6 years, thank you.)
• I have moved house, but not shop thanks to the leasing company negotiating rent with me.  It’s still not easy to meet the bills, but it’s slightly better.

I think perhaps I have grown more cynical in the last year.  I have definitely grown fatter.  I continue to be grateful for the good things:  folks at the shop, my kitties, my boys, an ex-husband who is much easier to get along with now that we don’t live together.  And hockey–can’t forget that.
