Crochet has taken over my life. What do I do at home on my days off? I crochet. What do I do while I watch movies with my Honeyface? Crochet. I'm feeling artistic and crafty. It feels so good to be thinking critically again, and not just criticizing everything and being grouchy. Shit was I grouchy. Working retail is not my thing. I'm looking into applying to grants and getting myself some money to fund this exploration with yarn and hooks. I'll be happy to be covered in crocheted things this winter anyway. It's freaking COLD up here in Boston! Not a fan of the cold unless I'm skiing on fresh snow. Then I love cold and snow. I miss real mountains. They only have little bumps here.

That's what's going on with me. I've been learning something new every time I pick up my crochet hook and I've been freezing my ass off. Oh, also Urban has dicked everyone at our store over by cutting our payroll buy some huge, undisclosed amount so I'm trying to live off 3 shifts a week. Yeah. I'm either going to have the hit the jackpot with grants or find a second job. Both seem kinda unlikely given my (lack of) transportation situation and the location of our house and the seeming lack of public and private grant funding for individual artists. Most grants are for nonprofit organizations. Fuck that. I need money. Gimme!
