Not much...

is going on these days. I made an appointment with a lawyer for next week. I'm dreading this weekend, well, only if *they* are around. Of course, everyone who I have spoken to has been very supportive and can't believe that the neighbors are doing this. (Actually, some of them can believe it, knowing the neighbors.) I've noticed that I've been losing weight again - which is not really a good thing. Today I forgot my belt and my jeans kept sliding down and bugging me. This tends to happen when I'm depressed or anxious or otherwise stressed about something. Last summer, I went from a size 10 down to a 4 and then this summer I dropped down to where size 2s were too big, I didn't want to buy any new clothes so I worked at trying to get back to the size 4 so that at least my clothes would fit. Now, my 'normal' size (I don't really know what I weigh) is on the smaller size of a 4, which is good, but any drop down seems to be noticable.

In other news, I finished my Sign Language class last night. It was nice, I'd like to take the advanced class next year. I'm really pretty good at fingerspelling and I can actually 'read' most signs pretty well (at least I can pretty easily understand our instructor, who is deaf). I would like to get better at conversational signing, which seems to be another skill set other than knowing signs.

Suna asked what I'm knitting these days. Good question! I still have a couple of projects on the needles. Lately, I've been going between the "Not In The Round, Round Scarf" like a mini poncho that is knit flat and then seamed together. The other project I've been cruising on is a Lion Brand yarn shrug. It's one of their newer yarns, called Romance (I think) and the pattern is pretty easy, it's a lightweight yarn and big needles (size 15), so it's going pretty well. I will try to get some pictures soon. :)

While I've been working on my goal of letting something fall away in some areas I'm doing okay, in other areas, I'm still working on it. That organization thing is one that I'm still working on. With my semi-annual report due now, and the realization of how far behind I am on my files, I keep putting it off and then it just makes everything bigger and seemingly unsurmountable, which makes me avoid it even more. I just wish I could hand everything over to someone else as an interim until they find a replacement, because I know that I'm not doing the job the way that it needs to be done. I'm just too frustrated with the bigger picture of the organization to really feel motivated to do it right (which I know is a distorted way to look at it). I know, I'm just rambling now.
