Today I received great news!!
I love Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series and I love knitting. This is no secret. So this news comes as a double joy for me.
Diana Gabaldon's publisher, Random House has published a book for knitters!! YAY!!
Outlander Knitting will be available on October 27. I can't wait!! The fall and winter just became more interesting!
I love to knit! I have a new pattern and yarns that I am looking forward to doing. There are some new techniques in the pattern that I am looking forward to learning how to do.
What I love about knitting is that I can do it while watching television, listening to books on audio, or listening to music when the pattern is simple.
I also love knitting because I can make things for others that come from the heart.
It also gets me inspired as the seasons change, I can knit anywhere at any time.
Someday I want to learn how do more in the textile/yarn arts arena...spinning yarn, dyeing, weaving, and other things related yarn.;
I have been getting more excited about cooking recently. Usually I don't like to cook because it is only myself that I cook for, and I don't want to spend the time to cook just for myself then do the dishes afterwards, but recently I have been WANTING to cook for myself. I have been getting a comfortable feeling when I do. I think that I am getting tired of microwaving my meals or ordering from Door Dash.
The scent of food cooking in my home that has been making me happy. So does baking. I get a sense of nostalgia when I cook the meals that I used to eat when I was growing up and with my family.
I have also been getting more into my Auxiliary commitments lately too. Since the slow opening of the state and country, it is nice to be able to be around that side of my family. I missed them so much. I can't wait until things get put into a sense of stability.
Last week, I took care of the problem at my job. While things got a little better, I don't think that anyone quite figured out what I did or why I did it. I'm not surprised by this. It's hard for their minds to understand that people shouldn't be treated as I had been treated. They didn't get it that the manager/owner did his job because my supervisor wouldn't do hers.
I had to set things right because my work anniversary has come, and I don't want to work in an environment that will make me uncomfortable since I am hoping to retire from that job. I also have rights as an employee.
I am looking forward to the fall. It is my favorite time of the year. The changing colors always soothe my heart. It is also a great time because the best holidays coming up...Halloween, Thanksgiving, Labor Day...my favorite holidays!! It is also time for the kiddos to go back to school (for what it is right now).
I hope that I can move before the fall comes so that I can get settled in and decorate. I plan to make my next place my permanent home...at least until I may have to move back to my hometown to be close enough to my family so that I can take care of them.
I have two brothers and two sisters, but one of my brothers has Multiple Sclerosis, and I plan to be there to help take care of him when the family elders pass away. He can take care of himself and things on his own, but someday he won't be able to, so I want to be near when that happens.
This is why I want to get my future savings plan set, and have job security. I want to take care of my family members and be able to live the rest of my life comfortably. I want to make sure that I stay healthy for them too.
With my anniversary at work, starting my 401k at work and putting money into my savings account, it is time for me to get my medical and dental situation going.
It looks like things are starting to get better, now I just have to keep going on this path.
Blessed be!
