Yikes! It’s been days since I posted last!

Sorry to be away for so long! I’ve been kinda busy at work and with a bunch of projects at home . . . however I haven’t been doing any knitting or spinning to speak of.

Actually, I’m feeling a little burnt out on the fiber stuff right now. I think this is the backlash of doing so many holiday gifts! I’ve been working a bit on DH’s hat (which he requested!) He’s asked for something of an unusual shape and I had to puzzle my way through portions of it. I think I have it figured out and will likely have it done in the next couple of days.

I have been spending some time at the gym, walking at a little bit of running so far. I’ll be working slowly back up to what I used to be able to do . . . and I’m doing better about what I eat and keeping track of it so I know when I can have a treat (and don’t worry, there will be treats) I’m probably more food/treat motivated than my dog is. He runs on a combination of praise and prey drive. I don’t have any of the latter and while praise is nice, pastry is better!

I now have a bet going with one of my co-workers over who can lose 5lbs by the end of February. We haven’t decided what the prize will be yet, but I’m sure we’ll come up with something good!
