There are a couple of things I really wanted to accomplish during my little sabbatical. I wanted to listen to a slew of old bands I thought I needed to hear more of, I wanted to listen to a lot of new bands that I hadn't taken the time to listen to, I wanted to write more, I wanted to start running again, I wanted to force myself to like carrots and I wanted to sew more. I did all (well, most) of these things- to an extent.

I listened to a few older bands, but I didn't get swept away by the first few, so that was the end of that. I found a couple of new bands and listened to them and had a little more success there, but nothing extraordinary. I wrote a few short stories, but I started a million more than I actually finished. I ran the first few weeks I was unemployed, but then it got cold, so I put that on hold- although as of late I have been gearing back up again. I didn't even try the carrot thing. Ugh. Out of all of those things, the one I waited the longest to start is the one I have been the most consistent with and the one I enjoy the most. I have started sewing. Like, a ton. I haven't used a pattern to make anything yet, but most of the things I have screwed around with and created have turned out decent.

I think can now call myself a sewer. Not to be confused with a sewer. Maybe I should call myself a seamstress. That seems too advanced though. I like sewer better.
