In horticultural terms, a weed is strictly any plant that is where you do not wish it to be. The most beautiful rose or delicate orchid, where you do not want it, is still a weed.
It can be a similar scenario with other areas and aspects of life. While something may be pleasant or enjoyable or even desirable, misplaced, it can be intrusive and distracting. In doing a bit of thinking over the last week, I have decided that it is past time to do some serious weeding.
Pruning is one thing. Weeding is another matter. Pruning is an extreme cutting back or cutting off. Pruning allows reshaping and new growth. Weeding implies total elimination; removal at the root. As with any weeding endeavor, the smaller ones are easier to uproot!
I thought I was ready for sleep anyway... I had taken my melatonin and gave it an hour. I was starting to feel really drowsy, especially after only about 4 hours of sleep last night so I went to bed. Here it is 11:45pm. I have been back out of bed just over an hour, have taken a Benadryl, and still am no closer to sleep than I was.
I miscalculated the amount of yarn that I had purchased. It turns out to be more like 65 pounds rather than 50 pounds. That additional 15 pounds may not SOUND like a big difference. I guess I'm going to have to go and buy that additional industrial shelving after all. And, I think it will need to be two units instead of one. My studio may not be getting weeded, but I think it may end up getting pruned after I get this next round of projects underway.
I really do need to try my bed again. Though sleepless, I am far too tired to do anything else.

Another day in paradise has dawned... grey, cold, overcast... gotta love it. The only change is really the temperature; it tends to be pretty grey and overcast here most of the year. That sucks. More than you can imagine. With the previous weekend having hearalded the change from daylight saving to standard time, the blackness falls before 6pm. This time of year signals my metamorphosis into a mole.
Can you say daylight spectrum compact fluorescent lighting. Wonderful, wonderful innovation.
