My time so far...

 I've done a million things since I've been here...and yet at times it feels like less. 

Quick recap:

July 14th-I moved out of my apartment

July 19th- I flew to Guatemala

July 28th- First day of work at the new school

August 10th- First day of school for students

August 17th- First Stitch and Bitch with a new friend every Tuesday (not a new friend every Tuesday, but a new friend that I meet with every Tuesday)


August 23rd-Virtual learning starts

September 3rd-5th- Spent the weekend in Antigua

September 15th- Guatemalan Independence day

September 17th- I meet another new friend who wants to learn knitting

And now we're all caught up!

Of course, I've done a lot in between. I found a few places to buy yarn, looked up some craft stores for other projects, invested in some beautiful textiles, and started taking a Waldorf education certification course.

Guatemala is beautiful and I've made new friends! Hopefully I won't be too exhausted when I go back in person next week and I'll be able to keep posting.

Making it work

 It's been a while, hasn't it? It's been a very stressful few weeks! First my birthday, which was not stressful, but rather busy. I made a complex dessert and a curry. I had a couple friends over for dinner, games, and cocktails. It was amazing. One got me some really nice Irish yarn! Birthday cake, knife included A little drunk chilling on the couch Then at the last minute the Guatemalan government decided we could teach in person when the city was on Red, which it couldn't do before. We found out at 5:00pm the night before (and the day after my birthday 😭). I adapted and managed to get to work with only a little annoyance. But on Tuesday, after being back only two days, I was forced to quarantine because two of my students tested positive. Then a parent did. Then another parent. So, a week of stress over if I was infected, because I HAD been exposed...We came back Wednesday, with parents of COVID positive children angry they had to wait a week, because of...

Whiskers on kittens

 I've been busy, busy the past couple weeks! I realized I had a stricter time limit on a couple knit things than I thought, so decided to put the tree skirt on hold. It will be done by Christmas, yes, but I'm taking a break. I foolishly told a group of students at my school that I would make them a surprise. The surprise was knitted Christmas trees. They didn't take me long, but they were something else I had to do. Then I have Christmas stockings. I have a strict timeline, which turns out is about 2 weeks, to finish several Christmas stockings (4 now, I think). I've made 2. I take on too much at Christmas. Anyway, I'm leaving for a trip on Friday, and will be able to knit some while away. Not much, though. Here's what I have done so far:     And I would have done more, but I've been visiting my friend's kitten. He's a darling little thing but he won't let me knit.
