No Content

I feel like it's been forever and a day since I've posted. I was sick (better now, thank you) and then I've also switched from being an early bird to a night owl. I've been working graveyards lately which is definitely different. Today is the first day in two weeks in which I've actually felt awake. Life is awful when you don't sleep. I haven't even been knitting (J always judges how bad I feel by whether or not I knit). Fortunately for me, J has plenty of patience because the worst side effect of how sleep deprived I am is being incredibly cranky. Little things that normally wouldn't bother me now make me incredibly angry. People should know better than to cut me off in traffic.

One of the things that I've been incredibly remiss on is posting pictures of my SP gift that came over three weeks ago. I was very excited to get some lovely fingering weight yarn from Monsoon Winds in beautiful, soft colours that I love. She also included some cute stitch markers- I've never had cute stitch markers before- See:

And the yarn:

Thank you so much SP!

I also have finished shots of the Swallowtail, unfortunately not modeled because I donated it to a charity auction a couple of weeks ago, but they do give a better idea of scale. I think of it as being the perfect size for a small shawl if you're a fairly petite person which I am not, thus making it easy for me to donate.

Look how pretty the snowflakes look as they landed on the shawl:

This is one of those times I wish I had a better camera so that I could more truly capture the beauty. 

So, lack of sleep means no knitting content, but it's also making for no life content either. It feels like all I do is plan for time/ways to sleep. It's very strange. Hopefully after a couple of more weeks of transitioning I will get used to it, but until then it's all sleep all the time (and obsessing about sleeping/lack of sleeping).
