Should be June, 2020!!! Even with all that has happened. I suspect that’ll be my complaint for the rest of my life.

I was going to crochet today. I still will do come work on the sweater I hope I’m making, but it’s five o’clock already. Actually with my night owl schedule, it’s like day people’s eleven a.m. That’s not so bad. I always want to be a day person, but I am what I am. When my dad retired, it turned out he was a night owl, too. Even growing up on a farm (definitely day work) and then having a 7 am job, for a combined 50 years, didn’t make him a natural day person.

I’ve been trying to catch up with Grace’s blog. I can’t believe it’s been as long since I was reading blogs regularly. And, to be honest, I have no real plans to get back to them on a regular basis. Because, like today, I spend a lot of time reading them all. There are so many interesting blogs out there, and not just ragmates. If I spend too much time on the internet I don’t read as much as I’d like and I don’t do anything. There are days when I get off track and am SQUIRREL!!-ed to total distraction. That’s ok, but I’m trying to keep that to a minimum. When I do read blogs, or watch how to videos, I really need to remember to set an alarm. Both tend to be squirrel high rise apartments.

I’ve been pretty good about “social” media. That’s in quotes because I’m not social. I go to Facebook mainly to check out free embroidery and sales. (But only for embroidery sites I was already following. Seems like there are new “Free Embroidery” fb pages all the time.) But that’s also where I also see a lot of sewing, embroidery and craft videos, and I have learned some stuff from them. And I rarely pass up cat videos anywhere. Instagram and Pinterest are mostly relegated to when I’m waiting. I also follow Cas from Clutterbug, because, Lord knows, I need help with clutter. Fortunately I don’t think I get more than one video a week. I only watch ones that call out to me, though, because YouTube means hours of potential distraction. She has had a lot of useful tips for me, so she’s a keeper despite distractions.

Actually, I think the internet exacerbated my ADHD. Before the internet became part of life, I’d pretty much learned to avoid most major distractions. The internet brought the world to me. I’ve learned, made friends, and grown because of it, but I’ve also become a lot more distracted.

And I definitely write very distractedly. Approximately 400 words in and I still haven’t written what I intended to write. But that’ll have to wait. Suffice it to say that I’m looking for my depth. I’ll journal about that tonight and share some next time I get here.
