Summer holidays are OVER. I’m back to work once again, hoping that the structure of working life and limited free time will actually help my creative endeavours outside of work. I had a huge dip in mood on Saturday – in all honesty my emetophobia was getting to me and I’m kind of adrift with that. I don’t want to dig into it as I’m afraid of how much energy it’ll take to deal with, but I’m also embarrassed / ashamed of still being so affected by it. So it can leave me a bit miserable when I have ‘an episode’, you might call it. I actually drew this picture to make myself laugh, and to have a go at drawing the knit pattern of my nice new (from the charity shop but new to me) enormous cardigan. I think the cloth pattern is OK, but I was definitely successful in making myself laugh out of the funk.
