I've never struggled after Christmas before. The whole Blue Monday thing, seasonal affective disorder, they've not been an issue. But this January has felt different. I've felt very lonely, not in the sense of not having company as I've seen friends a fair amount, but in the sense of missing having a partner. I know I don't need to be in a relationship to be happy but I miss it. I've spent so much of my life needing that validation so it's taking some time to rewire things.
This week has felt slightly more positive (although it's been expensive, my car's front brake pads and discs needed replacing) so I have to keep building on that. I've been doing a lot of knitting - I've been working on a Geek-A-Long blanket for over two years now! My knitting speed has varied depending on how I'm feeling at the time, but this year has been quicker - I've completed squares 21-23 and I'm now working on the last square.
When I've finished the last square I'll have to figure out how to block the squares and then how to crochet to connect them all together. It'll probably take a while yet!
