This has been a stressful week. For every which reason, I have a lot of stuff going on. Yarn, fundraising, walking, traveling, etc. Just a lot of stuff. My brain will not shut off. I am awake at night, all night thinking about stupid things that could occupy my thoughts during the boring workday. I wonder when Lady Bird Johnson is going to crank out baby birds? Can you dye yarn bodily fluids? How long would it take me to go off the grid completely? I wonder if I could ever like hummus? Are the baby birds going to keep me up all night with tiny chirps? Would I like a cruise? I wish I had room for a loom! How does a loom work? How does a bird lay an egg anyways? All night long.
The biggest stress is preparing yarn for a festival this weekend. I am at a loss for which skein I should enter and which category on top of that! I am not afraid of losing to a worthy competitor. I don't feel as confident as I should for operating a small business. What I am worried about is that the 75 year old judge that has been spinning her entire life finds some amateur flaw, one where I should know better. I just need to get over it. If I do well, then awesome. If I get kicked out because my dye job is horrid, that's fine too. With as crazy as my life has been these past few days, I can control whether or not I enter the contests with a tiny bit of pride. I am going to go forth this weekend and make it happen. After all, I did win the last yarn competition I was in. Then, after this weekend, I can get back to fundraising, walking, traveling, and feeding baby birds with an eye dropper full of chewed worms.
