Short Weekend

So this has been a short weekend. On Friday 4 of my co-workers and I left for Chicago. We drove down to attend a training we had to go to. We were there all day yesterday in the meeting and drove back afterwards. We arrived back at our work around 11:30 last night so it was almost midnight by the time I got home. It was not fun at all. The only good thing was meeting people from other offices who I have only emailed or talked on the phone to. However, this brought out the scared little kid in me. I have major fears of being ostracized by people. I really want to change this about myself but I'm not sure how to. I also hate that I feel not included. I was sitting at a table with 3 other people - I was on the end, one of the people from another office was next to me and 2 of my co-workers were on the other end. The 3 of them were talking to each other and sort of ignoring me. I know they were not being mean but my feelings were so hurt. I really wish that I could be more outgoing so I could talk to people I don't know very well more easily.

Well enough with the pity party. I have not done much knitting the past week and I can feel it. I am so much more cranky and tense. I need to learn how to set aside time for me. I think that I am going to join the Yarn Harlot's Knitting Olympics and knit up the clapotis. I also need to start working on Jerry's hat again since winter will be over soon. I started my finished objects blog and have 2 items in it - check out the sidebar. And now I am going to bed.
