I have been in such a good place lately. I can’t seem to find enough time in the day to get all my embroidery work done, and I am delightfully busy. Is it the working & being busy that is stabilizing me or is it the craft?

Reading more Foucault and haughtily entitled Doctor’s accounts of anxious patients in the next couple of days.

Taking care of mum’s dog is exhausting. Haven’t slept properly in days. Kind of run down feeling, especially not valued in a particular personal friendship lately. 

Aside from those facts though, embroidery is going swimmingly. I have finished the jewelled heart case and have started (on the hard part first) the 4th level of the protection (the spike ball). I have 2 more outer layers to do after that and one or two inner layers, depending on time. I still have much reading to do.

Thinking of doing a public call out for interview questions on this project. I am shy and a large part of my anxiety is social so even just me asking for interviews is facing my fears. I hope to be respectful of interviewees’ needs, that would make me feel comforted, to comfort someone else with anxiety.

Quick thoughts before early bed.
