Just A Tad Depressed

Mainly because of the work situation. I am now going to work at 9 instead of 8. The florist wants me out by 3, if he can help it. I've gone from a 40+ job to 24 to maybe 30 hour job. Trying to save money. Best Friend bought 8 days of canned cat food for the fuzzy people. Fuzzy people really appreciate it, Best Friend. Have finished two bags of turkey meat. I have the biggest bag in the freeze along with a container of jellied juice. I want to make turkey enchiladas, but I can't make myself go to the store and buy the stuff and made them. I have nothing left, accept for fig newtons and fried zukinie. Oh, ya, I forgot, I have potatoes! I can make myself some mash or just bake a potato and take it to work!
Jackie is going to give me two chickens. I am going to boil them in a crock pot, eat the meat, (perhaps the cats will get some) and make soup. I am leaning towards chicken/turkey Florentine. Actually I should shoot for stew, shouldn't I?

This is all new turf for me. I haven't cooked on a regular basic, since the 1980's! Yaa! Baby! I don't know any recipes anymore. Thank God for the Internet!

I didn't go to the knitting Guild meeting last night, because of the depression. I just stayed home, watched a lifetime movie (The Pilot's Wife), and messed around with How-To-Cast-On! Can not do the Long Tail Cast On, for the life of me. Repeatedly watched the video on Knittinghelp.com, and it just wouldn't turn out right. I would make the loop, pull it down with the needle, hold the yarn on it, loop it under the thumb, go over to my index finger and loop it, and that's where I screwed up every time. Don't know why. Hand cramped up horribly. Eventually noticed that there was a ALTERNATIVE method! The thumbing method works just fine for me! All it is, 1. put thumb up along needle, 2, wrap yarn around thumb and needle, 3, wrap yarn between thumb and needle, 4, pull yarn loop on thumb over other loop and over top of needle. Presto, first cast on! Repeat, until you have as many stiches as you need.

I am holding steady now on the stitch count. Very little stitch dropping and splitting of the yarn.
Soon, I will find a simple pattern and try it. I will make cardigans for me. Really nice ones!
