Can you stay on task and finish one thing before you start another??? NOT ME!

When the temps are regularly below freezing at night, the calendar may not technically call it winter, but it sure the heck is!  So now the darkness has invaded part of my day.  Come on 5:00 pm is not night for me!  So that means, for me, it is time to bring the crochet hook out and keep me busy.

Now I am not really a multi-tasker at crafts, probably more a case of ADD.  I need to have several projects going at one time.  It's probably because the large projects are so daunting, and big time suckers.  I actually made 3 afghans for Christmas last year and I have no freaking idea how I did that! That doesn't even include all the little stuff and spinning the yarn for a portion of one of the afghans!  I am more the small project kind of girl. 

Right now if I am completely honest I have one baby afghan (sorry Brandon, Grammie is a dirt bag), an adult Minion Hat (almost done), a pair of baby legs, a pair of fingerless mitts (yes Reggie they are Minion Mits), the last curtain valance for me living room, (I hopefully will finish this before we sell the house),  small Christmas presents, and two sets of dryer balls all going at one time!  I put my focus on the one that is screaming the loudest, the smallest travel with me on the road (yup I am fortunate to be able to crochet at 55 mph.  Hubby is not a speeder).

Now add in the fact I have to liquidate everything in my house, finish the house projects we have started, and be ready to auction this puppy off around May.  Oh, and the fun stuff of looking for a 5th wheel for the spring, and saving up money for the motorhome in the fall!

Oh, Pooh, I forgot to put in that at least once a week, typically twice a week hit the road to find things to maintain my internet income!  Then the 3-4 hours 5 days a week I list items for sale on Ebay!

I know I am working harder today than I did as a Commercial Designer!!  This is semi-retirement???  No wonder I can't keep on task!!

    1. I was going to comment, at length, but after reading this installment, I'm exhausted.
      If you're looking for me I'll be holding down the damn couch.
