To Pass The Time

I've started knitting again.

I'm at this weird void where I'm not really sure what to do. I'm so used to having him around that I feel at a loss. Even when he wasn't physically around, he was still with in contact reach. 2am? Didn't matter. Phone call away. Now we're both sleeping by 2000-2100PST and awake 0500. He for the obvious reasons, myself for work.

I knew I needed to preoccupy myself. First and foremost for keeping my sanity. The day he left for Bootcamp was my first day of work. I was hired on maybe 3 weeks, prior but needed to spend as much time as possible with him before that 3 month gap. Amazingly, they let me delay it quite a bit. I even had the initial interview pushed back 2 weeks.

I get to talk to him before bed, and a few hours on the weekend, so to pass the time I'm picking  up all the old hobbies I dropped. Knitting is whats been on my mind recently. I finished a 6ft scarf, and am pretty proud of myself that I saw it through til the end. My guy said he wanted a hat so we'll see how that goes. Crocheting is also something I once did. I feel it requires more patience for some reason. The image of myself in a rocker with needles spewing out scars and mittens makes me giggle. I feel its a closer reality then I might think.

Oh Red Heart. What would I do with out you? Thread that has kept me company and kept my sanity.
