Back in the eighties there was a two year spell. Soul destroying.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
I am so sorry. That must have been hard to deal with.

The 4 years since I've retired (not counting volunteer work, and I'm climbing the walls). Before that I'd worked steadily since age 16.

@SweetMae: It is. I need to be doing things; I think that's why I started knitting last winter. Now every friend and family member has a hat or scarf.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@bijouxbroussard: I knit for charity. Warm hats are always appreciated.
bijouxbroussard · F
@SweetMae: Very good to know. I'd been planning to donate some of them to a local shelter closer to winter but will gladly send some to colder climates.
