Wow. 2010 must be the year of change for me. At least so far.

Starting at the beginning of the month, when I quit my job. I've never quit a job before. It's scary. Especially since I don't already have another job to go to. It's just this big blind leap of faith. I'm not all that good at those. But we'll see.

It was past time. I need something that has less stress and more security, at least in terms of health benefits and EI and all that stuff. So, I guess I'm quitting theatre, at least for a while. Which is what I've done pretty much all my life. But I don't think I'm going to find a theatre gig that will fit the bill. More as the job search begins ....

In other news - my car has finally bitten the bullet. Sigh. I love my little car and it's done me good over the years, but it had fatal break problems and it's not worth it to spend all the money it would cost to fix the breaks, so bye-bye car. We're now a one car family again for the first time in about 10 years.

Plans for 2010

Well, I've cast on a lot of new projects in the past few days. My favorite right now are Cookie A's BEX socks, which I started this morning. They're a challenge - the most complicated pattern I've made to date, but so far so good. I just love the color of the Wollmeise - it's Olio Vergine, or Olive Oil and it glows like brass in the light. I'm doing these babies 2 at a time so that I won't risk the second sock syndrome. I was worried that with the fact that these socks are complicated and will likely take me quite a while, if I did just one at a time I would never get them both finished in a month.
