- limbo noun an uncertain period of awaiting a decision or resolution; an intermediate state
That's where I've been these past two weeks. You see, as life happens sometimes, plans may be changing. Or not. Due partly to some unforeseen family health issues and partly to me and him wanting to be closer to our families here, I'm not yet in Alaska. I might not be moving to Alaska. But I might still be. I've been in limbo these past two weeks since I quit my job. I'll know this weekend, but until then I've been enjoying the freedom that comes with this in-between state.
My friends and sister said I could be in limbo here at home or with SnBLeslie's free hotel room in NYC, so I should just go to NYC. So last week I did.
I'll do another post about my trip, but this picture pretty much sums up how I feel these past few weeks. So damn happy!!! I don't know if it is because I know there are good things in store no matter if I'm here in CA or AK, or if it is because I'm feeling so much better, or if it is because I've taken a leap of faith and quit my job that was really stressful, but happy I am. Last year I went to NYC and couldn't imagine walking even a little of the Brooklyn Bridge. My feet were so swollen from one of my pain medications and I was in so much pain walking most of the trip. This trip I walked the entire Brooklyn Bridge and walked at least 2 miles everyday!! I felt great!
I felt so good walking that I've kept it up this week with mom. We've gone walking twice this week. See, in limbo I have time for exercising :)
And time for knitting. This new design is off the needles.
This design was released!! More about that one in another post too, but figured I should at least tell you about Peek-a-boo Penelope.
And I'm working on a sample of another design that will be released tomorrow. Limbo has been kinda nice (shh! don't tell anyone! I would like to know if I need to pack or not?!).
I loved reading about your summer traditions. You know one of my traditions is enjoying the farmers markets. I finally had time to do that this weekend. Oh! The smell of fresh basil! Just divine!
Delicious on this pizza too. This isn't just any pizza by the way. Nope, in limbo I've been trying new healthy recipes, determined to help me and my challengers in my challenge group enjoy eating healthy! This is a cauliflower pizza crust and it was delicious (I followed that recipe almost exactly, except that I microwaved the cauliflower instead of boiling it)! And yes, I even roasted some veggies and put them on the pizza too. I know, I know. I don't recognize me either!!
I'm going to enjoy this uncertain state for another few days but I'll keep you posted. Either way, I know I'm in for an adventure. Thank you for being along for the ride. I love you guys.
Happy knitting!

Enjoy your time in limbo! It sure looks like you're having fun :-)
Leaving a job without knowing what is next is always a bit scary. And living in limbo isn't for the faint of heart. I'm wishing you luck and happiness wherever you may end up next.
You look great. I am glad you had the courage to quit a stressful job. Something good will come along. I like that blue yarn with the textured pattern.
Limbo can be useful.....sometimes, other things that have been hiding on the backburner suddenly get finished :) But, it also can suck a whole lot. With that said, I hope you don't leave but that may just be because I'm being selfish :)
Hope it all becomes clear for you soon! I'll miss you if you stay south, but I get it...that's why we're going up there!
