I asked for it, I got it
I wanted to be published, and that’s going to happen, but now is the stressful time. Now is made up of the moments after the box of yarn arrives and I have to actually crochet this thing.
This thing is huge.
See that? I’m crocheting something for that giant 36″ monster. That’s a lot of crocheting considering I’m not just crocheting a giant circle. You’ll see what I mean when you purchase my issue of Interweave Crochet after it comes out.
I can’t believe I get to say that. MY ISSUE. The issue in which I am PUBLISHED. Yes! *fist pump*
So there’s this box full of yarn, with colors and bags and I have to use it, keep track of it, make sure dog hair doesn’t make its way into it, and I’m still in shock.
I need to snap out of this, though, because while I have this big project, I also have to work 8-10 hours five days a week, part-time University every day of the week (practically), and The Yarn Side to try and keep up with. I don’t even have time to podcast, really, and there have been thoughts entering my head that I should put that on hiatus. Then I worry about how people would feel about my doing that.
What to do, what to do.
Right now my only decision is to just try and keep moving forward. Try to work a little of everything everday, not allow myself to become so involved with any one thing for too long, or I focus too much on it and become drained.
How do you best handle a large number of To-Do’s and the stress that comes with it?
Chocolate. Seriously. Have some dark chocolate then you will be able to squeeze enough hours into the day to work, go to school, finish your *to be published* project. Us listeners will be waiting for you once you’ve crocheted your fingers to the bone. :)
