more, as promised.

Been playing a bit of Wold of Warcraft, largely because it's one of a handful of things I can do while nursing the baby -- mouse-only.   Playing a MMPORPG and not being able to type to the other players is kind of pathetic, though.  And it's not like I'm ever going to have the time to do the end-game raiding stuff.  Which is what my gamer friends talk about and get excited about.

Knit a baby hat mostly from the Knitty.com Miss Dashwood pattern.   It matches the sweater I made.  I adjusted the crown to make it more like a bucket-hat instead of a beanie...at least, made it with a flat top instead of round.  And screwed up the math either in the plans I made or in my execution of them, because instead of a regular octagon, it's longish and narrower on one end (because I stopped decreasing too late, clearly).  I think that particular aspect looks kind of dumb, but fortunately, it's somewhat subtle.  All in all, a cute hat.  And I know how to *fix* the problem, but I'm not sure I want to bother.  Kind of bored with the hat.  Maybe more bored than embarassed, which suggests I shouldn't bother changing it.

Raising a child is meaningful to me.  It is not necessarily fulfilling.  The difference is important.

So much pretty yarn, so little ability to actually pick a pattern and start knitting something.

Recipe for crazy-making:  Becoming convinced that I have to choose between getting sleep and getting me-time.

Recipe 2 for crazy-making: People who say, "Well, you're the one who decided to have a kid" but claim that they want to be "supportive".   There's lots of reasons that's a cop-out comment; here's one. 

I'd write my own take on it but Z just walked in with the baby and, as expected, as soon as she saw me she started crying for me.   So, hands about to be come very busy with baby; no more typing.
