Spinning is my Soul

Okay not really, but it was the only title I could think of! Last night was YUCKY, on my way home I started thinking about the mess in the kitchen I was coming home to, and I started to seethe! I was harboring a little anger at my husband. He works from home and when i come from work, even if I cleaned the whole kitchen the night before, there will be some coffee cups, empty lunch boxes etc littering the counter.

So I came in the front door, went straight to the sink and threw the bowl with the nasty rice in it right into the trash. I felt MUCH better just doing that one thing (remember working towards hiding all the dishes? I only have about half hidden so far). So I continued to clean up the mess and my husband came in (technically supposed to still be working) and says what’s wrong, "I'm tired of all this!" and that's all I would say. He said he would help, I said no go back to work. He insisted on helping. Within 20 minutes the kitchen was relatively spotless.

He disappeared back into his office and I went in to our bathroom to tackle that mess. 1 hour later I was feeling like I done enough to relax so I went out to the couch to knit. He comes out and asks me if I feel better, we walk into the kitchen and I basically vent to him everything I have been feeling about our cleaning issues.

I was waiting for the fall back, when he yells back at me. Instead he said he agreed with everything that I said and he would make an effort to do more cleaning to keep it from getting so bad. So I was very happy he not only agreed with the things I said, but even said them in his own words.

Then I sit down on the couch and knit with my laptop and the battery goes dead, and I plug it in and the plug doesn't work. Do I have a laptop curse??? So today at lunch I'm going to run by apple to see what the problem is.

So last night STUNK, so after ALL THAT I wanted to focus on something totally stress free. I got out the MD Merino Top and spun a bit, and it was so pretty.

I like with spinning how I can think of nothing else in the world, but the fiber inbetween my two fingers.

Update - I went to apple to get a new powerplug and mine worked perfectly in their stupid ass store. I hate computers. They would not give me a new one

It is very soothing, isn't it? It's like all the twist you feel inside is being transferred into the wool and before you know it, it's all better.

Peace.

I get like that sometimes, and I can feel it coming on and nothing can stop me! For me, it's more my own hormonal issues, and I really do feel sorry for the hus, but these days I warn him, "I'm in a really lousy mood," so he can brace himself for Hurricane Leslie. Guys really don't see the mess like we do, I really believe that.

This sounds SO familiar...
I have a break down about cleaning about once every couple of months and the power cord doesn't work on my laptop either! Spoooooky.

Sweet hubby! I get into those kinds of moods sometimes. TGIF!

Oooh - but I hate it when mine won't rise to the bait - I have this really good head of steam going, and no-one left to yell at. (Except he always does rise to the bait, so I get to have a good yell anyway - but then I overdo it, so I completely lose the moral high ground. Ah well...)

So are the hidden dishes going to make a reappearance, or are they going to remain in hiding just in case?!

Awww, I'm sorry you're having Mac troubles. My iBook is running slowly these days, but probably because it needs an update.

Spinning is one of the best things ever. I'm usually (usuall? always!!) feeling the pressure of some knitting deadline though, and rarely find myself spinning. I should do it more often.

Nothing like spinning to relax with. Glad you're enjoying that merino.
