I'm so sorry to pop in and then disappear for months. My work as a hospital chaplain is emotionally demanding--even though it's far less stressful than the congregational work I left--and I've been sort of vegging out at home. I think I went through a sort of post-move/ slightly-overwhelmed-with-new-job-new-home-can't-find-anything depression that somehow didn't strike until last fall. Weird, since we'd been here over a year, but it's really taken until now to start feeling settled. And quilting, which had been my best stress reliever, suddenly felt like just too much. And I didn't even have the energy to whine here!
Thank heavens, it seems to have passed. We're beginning to feel at home, and my sewing room is beckoning again. Time and energy are still a bit low, but I'd like to spend more of both there--and here. I've missed you.
