Maybe a little too enthusiastic?

So, I've been participating in Bunny Berry's 100 day RawFu challenge. Things are going fairly well, so long as I don't force myself to do 100% raw every day. I've been sleeping better, I have more energy and am prone to impromptu dances for no apparent reason.

I am finding there is a down side to this.

The effervescent happy that bubbles over everywhere has no limits and does not understand that I cannot knit two scarves, two lace shawls, 3 sweaters, two pairs of socks, a table runner and umpteen pairs of gloves while simultaneously working on seven cross-stitch patterns, keeping house, tending the garden and teaching two children.

It doesn't mean I'm not trying though.

Luckily, there is a goodly amount of focus that also comes along with all that enthusiasm. Things get completed in less time because I don't get bored and walk away a quarter of the way through. This doesn't mean everything gets done, just that more things get accomplished than used to.

Finally

A place to talk about all the stuff I do and how I do it. JuneyFu as practiced by JuneyTwo. JuneyFu is one of those things I came up with as a semi-joke. I was trying to describe what I do in a more colorful term than "housewife" one day as visions of June Cleaver danced in my head. Since I don't vacuum my house in pearls and high heels, I wanted something that was going to be a more accurate portrayal of the hard work and devotion I put in to what I do. With a little inspiration from Mr. Pratchett, Lao Tse and his Way of Mrs. Cosmopolite(who knits), JuneyFu was born. It also sounded quite a bit catchier than Thoughtful Housekeeping, a title that seems limited to, well, housekeeping. My interests tend to be a bit more varied, my approach sometimes a touch different than current standard. I rather like it that way.

Started a new blog
