Distracting Deadlines

My goal for today was to finish weaving the last shawl on this warp.  I’m pretty sure there won’t be enough warp left for anything more and I was looking forward to the end of this one and the beginning of the next.

But…deadlines.  While my goals are a form of deadline setting, there are other, outside, forces at work.  For one thing I’m trying to live a more balanced life, not hide in the studio being a, well, introvert.  So I have been attending knitting drop in Wednesday mornings for a while now and I’ve gotten quite enamoured of sitting in public, drinking a nice (decaf) Americano and knitting.

Then my library book was nearing the end so instead of heading down the stairs to the studio after lunch I finished that book.  There were also a stack of emails (do emails ‘stack’ or is that just snail mail?) that needed to be dealt with, one series of which is the much anticipated visit from a friend.

Finally I could not procrastinate any longer and forced myself to go deal with some admistrivia.  That is mostly done – just need to file some papers but that can actually wait until morning when I will – hopefully – be a little more alert.

Tonight is our monthly guild meeting.  We will have a short business meeting, then show and tell from the weaving workshop.  It should not be a very long meeting but I have a feeling that by the time I get home I will be done for the day.
