losing myself in spinning

It has been an intense week at work so far.  Lots of meetings.  Lot of fixing other people's work.  Lots of my own work.  I am glad it is Wednesday.  All I have really wanted to do when I get home is sit.  Sit and spin.

I put an audiobook on and spin.  Right now I am listening to the Phyrne Fischer mysteries by Kerry Greenwood.  She also writes a series of mysteries about a baker.  The last time I checked, I had read all of those.  The Phyrne Fischer novels are light but not usually a figure it out by the second chapter.  Not like Midsomer Murders either where in twenty seasons I think I may have got close three times.  Change of Inspector has made my guessing better.

When my Beloved is done making knives for the day, I sit next to him with my drop spindle right now and spin.  We watch syfy shows.  The drop spindle is at the speed I am ready for by that time. 

I am hoping to card more of the green fiber in the top picture so I can spin more.  I have a sweater I wish to make with it.  There is a black wool I wish to spin too so I can make a sweater with that as well.  It does slow down the yarn purchase when you have to make the yarn for the sweaters you wish to make! 

The meditation that happens while I spin sure helps getting through the week this has been.
