I thought it would be good to check in and let my friends know what has happened to me. I think of you all often and think about blogging often too. I'm in a very weird and stressful place right now.
First off, about a month and a half ago my husband and I separated. I'm living with a friend right now. And I'd rather not talk about it here, which is why I haven't been blogging.
Secondly, my beautiful store that I work in is going out of business. It's Linens'N'Things. I work at Linens'n'Things and everyone in the store has become like a little family to me and it's all going to end soon. The company is bankrupt and a liquidator bought them so now we're having a huge closing sale and everything is different and horrible. People come in and rip up my store. My windows section gets torn apart hourly and I can hardly keep up with it. We all feel like our store, which is kind of like our home, is being raped and pillaged - and we have to stand by and help.
I'm not really knitting. I'm not running. I could really use some good thoughts sent my way right now. Sorry for such a depressing blog! I just feel like I'm letting everybody down lately. But when things pick back up, I'm going to get myself and this blog back together. I'm thinking of all of you and hope you're doing well :)
Love,
Jenny

Just wanted to send you some positive thoughts and hugs!!
Dang girl. That is some rough stuff. I'm pretty new to your blog but I send you a big friendly hug anyway, 'cause you and me both need one. :D
Oh, and I knitted a green Simple Pinwheel Beanie for my dad recently. It was my first hat ever and it came out wonderfully, if I do say so myself. Thanks for a wonderful pattern.
Sorry to hear about the many changes in your life! You actually inspired me to go for my first marathon :) Keep your head held high and know better things are headed your way!
Awww *hugs* Sorry to hear that things are so rough! It's completely understandable why you haven't been blogging as of late. I sincerely hope that things turn around for you soon! I'm sending lots of good thoughts your way! *hugs*
Sorry to hear yo're going through a rough time right now. Sending you big hugs!
Sorry you're having such a rough time, and I wish I could say something to make you feel a tiny bit better.
Here's one thought - try to fit in at least a short run. You sound like you need the stress relief and it might help just a tiny bit.
Take good care of yourself.
I'm so sorry to hear about all the hard stuff you're going through right not, take care of yourself, ok?
-Kala
I don't even know you and came here looking for a hat with ears. Yours words touched me though. I've stood in your shoes (although we ended up back together and it's 20+ years now) and send you healing and hope from a complete stranger.
Peace to you.
Another complete stranger here, but I've made your top down sweater and love it, so since you're responsible for me having a warm cuddly sweater, I feel like I owe you. So, I'm sending you hugs and best wishes for the future! Take care of yourself and know that people are thinking of you.
Still sending peace and healing your way.
Even tho I don't know you in real life but I really wish I can give you a big, tight hug right now. I am also going through a separation with someone I really cared about… So I know how hard it is!!
Keep up with the knitting and the running, those are things that will help to pick you back up again! Just think about how happy people are when they see your work! That's what I tell myself everyday… to just put one foot in front of the other, at a time.
*hugs*
