Seven Things Week 20



It's been a rough week, Chez Taph.

Disruption and uncertainty at work, mainly. I was such a misery I wanted to get away from myself most of the time and I will admit to a little thrift therapy on Saturday to take the edge off and then I treated myself to knitting up one of my prettiest special yarns to get through a dire family function. Amazing how well buying 4 cheap paperbacks and indulging my senses of sight and touch with pretty yarn can lift a mood and prevent bloodshed on a massive scale.

Someone once told me that Totem is cheaper than valium.

Sounds like you and TSS are having a bad week. I am glad you had some yearn therapy - the best kind.

Hope this week is an improvement! Well done ot the seven things - we've just been going through large piles of assorted crap sorry elderly papers and piling them into the recycling - it makes a difference, but doesn't look as interesting!

hmm sorry to hear about the crap week. i think totem is not only cheaper but will make you feel better in the long run. its probably addictive as well tho...

While Totem may be cheaper, the withdrawals are just as crappy. I can't wait for the next revolutioin of Totem to be re-introduced. I'm still mourning the last colourway.

Sorry to hear that things have been grim. V. wise to indluge in paperbacks and yarn : )
