I feel virtuous in so many ways...
* after my hysterectomy, I started taking supplements on the advice of a specialist in women's issues. I ran out a couple of weeks ago and waited to replenish the supply till I could afford them, and what a difference! I turned back into PMS Deirdre, whom we haven't seen for a bit, and it was a really good indication of why I should always, always keep up with these things. So I am taking them again and feeling virtuous in knowing why.
* I am doing a strength training class on Monday mornings and am in week 5 of an 8 week training program run by the same gal, plus for those days I miss (like yesterday, because Ben is out again with a stomach bug) I have a dvd that I actually use. And I actually do. Again with the feelings of virtuous.
* About a year ago I bit the bullet and ripped out a sweater that I loved making, but that looked like utter crap on me (Welcome Back Old Friend) -
. I kept the several and various resulting balls of yarn within eyeshot for the past year, waiting for the perfect opportunity to play with them again. 
Found it! The Garter Yoke Cardigan, which I cast on a couple of days ago and which I am pleased to report seems both quick and pretty. I am not putting in as many buttonholes as recommended, but otherwise am happily following along mindlessly... all about the mindless these days.
So I am recycling yarn - virtuous little me...
* I finished the Pleated Vest, which is blocking as I type.
It's always nice to finish something, and to be happy with it, but this is especially nice because I got it done for Vest-uary. Why is this significant, you may ask? Well, I love to sign up for things like this - sock-alongs, shawl-alongs, they always seem like a fun idea at the time. But I have never, ever finished anything within the suggested time frame.Until now.
Which makes me feel... what now? Say it with me, people - virtuous.
Am I making y'all sick yet? Yup, I thought so - feeling that way myself, frankly. I can only gloat so much...
did I mention how virtuous I'm feeling?

Nice of you to have this virtuousness to share...I'm not sure I feel worthy of sharing my sloth like days...of waking/working/sleeping/...repeat for five consecutive days and then do a version of the latter two on the weekend, mix in with groceries/cleaning/child rearing.
Perhaps I am a wee bit bitter of your newly discovered virtues.
sigh... and in my spare time, I try to knit.

and did I say bitter? Gosh, I meant jealous...envious...jealous...but not bitter...heavens no. That was a slip...like slip one, yarn over...ya know...
