| Small Things |
Thank God I knit. I'm having a really hard time going through the last few days and even while watching TV my mind gets distracted. I find the only time I'm not thinking about anything is when I'm knitting. I'm trying really hard not to complain because I don't want to be selfish especially now when my mom and my aunts are going through something so terrible. I just feel like I'm lost. I'm trying to take it one day at a time but it's so hard because everyone else is going through one thing, but I'm going through two things and it's really, really difficult. I find I'm more sore and stiff now that I've been going out like to work and to my mom's house, and every time I go in a car I get the flashbacks and fear that we're going to get into an accident, and on top of that I miss my grandmother so much and have to prepare for the funeral on Tuesday. This is so hard.
Thank God for Yannick. He's been so supportive through this, even calling my mom through the day to see how she's doing, and spending most of each day there with her helping her set up for the shiva this week. [Note: shiva is when the friends and family come to the house to pay their repects. I found a really good article online that explains it, so if you're interested, click here: http://www.aish.com/literacy/lifecycle/The_Stages_of_Jewish_Mourning.asp
Since Yannick has been out of the house the last few days I was able to work on his Mega Socks. Obviously some stuff has come up, but I'm still trying to get them finished for Valentine's Day as his gift. Last night I finished the first sock. Blogger is being funny and not letting me upload pics using their software (what else is new?) so I'm going to post them in a second with hello.
I won't be around this week 'cus I'll be at my mom's every night for the shiva, but I'll be knitting, so that's something. |
