This has been a very long week of busy schedules both at home and at work. Teaching music means that your day never really ends. There are meetings to fight against the cuts to your program, there are daily rehearsals after school for any number of things, currently for tonight's big talent show. Then there are the hours of correcting and planning for the upcoming lessons. With our field, the material is always changing. You can't teach the same music year after year because you have many of the same students year after year. There is little time to do things outside of this realm but I did try to sneak a few rows of my first Great Aran Afghan square in this week. That was a big mistake!
Since the group meets Monday nights and those now are also the "try to save the music" nights, I cannot actually get to the shop to get the help and advice needed. So I decided to go it alone....seems to be this year's theme for my life. Anyway, I have knitted and ripped the same 8 or so rows over and over. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong and can't really ask anyone. I guess that the changes that have led to this point happened for a reason, but I really don't know what that reason is right now. What I do know it that the places in which my life crosses are the places that make me most uncomfortable. Just like those problem rows where I know the only way out is to rip it, when the problems from work now live at my 'safe' place, I guess I have to find a new safe place.
