Been a while - again

 Yes, once again it has been a while since I last wrote here. Just need somewhere to vent, where I know it won't be read. And I won't be judged.

I am actually feeling a bit down today. Yesterday was really bad with a big ant problem. They were all over the dished on the bench, in the bench top oven, in the microwave, and on the water cooler. I seem to be the only one concerned about the ants being inside. They are also all over the bath, even being near the ceiling!!! I truly don't know what to do about them. The more ant bait that is put down, the more that seem to be appearing. To be honest, I am looking forward to cooler weather, because I know they don't like the winter weather. But once it starts to warm up again, what happens then?

Anyway, back to my knitting. I am making a log cabin blanket out of my nice 4-ply yarn. It is looking quite nice, and I am starting to have a little fun with colour. I actually like working with colour, and a log cabin blanket is just the thing for it.

Of course, I am also reading. I enjoy reading, almost as much as I do knitting. Both keep me going. Even though I actually haven't been able to finish a book in a while. I think I have just been too stressed out about other things. I reach retirement age this year, and have to decide whether to fully retire, or to just be semi-retired. I would like to do only two days at work, but we will see. It is mostly for the social contact, otherwise, I may just end up staying at home all the time, and that really won't be good for me.
