Antsy
I think it is the after effect of being trapped in the house for three weeks that I am feeling a bit frustrated and bored. pao has some sort of tummy virus so he isn’t feeling up to much and I was supposed to be going to a prayer meeting tonight to find that when I got there it isn’t actually on til next week. Gah! So I walked home through the Dane John but because I was wearing summer slip on shoes and was tired, I wasn’t enjoying the walking like I normally do and my feet hurt a bit. I didn’t feel like sitting down, I just wanted to go home.
Now I’m at home, I don’t feel like knitting or reading or watching a DVD or listening to the radio. Just before I went out, I started a heel of my Trekking sock to find that I’d knit across the wrong number of stitches for about 22 rows and had to rip out the whole lot. Don’t you just hate it when that happens? I am so not wanting to re-knit those rows right now. I think I want to go out. But then I probably don’t cos my feet hurt from wearing open-heeled shoes for the first time this year.
I think I’m just antsy because I’m probably quite tired. Perversely, if I try to sleep now, I will just lie awake. Pffft!

Good grief, I’d be antsy too!

I’d be antsy too! Knitting is a terrible activity for antsyness. At least for me. I always muck it up. You need to go somewhere where you can walk a bit and then sit a bit, but OUT. Like a coffeeshop, maybe?
But I must say, I much prefer you antsy than sick as you were!

I hate that feeling!! Pooey. I’m cranky at my Trekking sock, too. I have to tink quite a few rows in the heel to get a very messy dropped stitch back. *grumble*

oh boy, i so hate that post-illness restlessness, accompanied by the still-can’t-quite-concentrate feeling. there’s a climbing-the-walls-ish-ness, but without the energy to actually do any climbing.
i expect you must feel about as fuzzy as the photo? yet i must agree, antsy is far better than SICK!
