treeskinNot much to update. Going to be a slow day at work; Courtney's off, because the baby is sick (second day in a row, from the message she left), so I'll just putter by myself.
Yesterday's unsock report: Finished three temari yesterday, despite all the time I spent on IM. One teenie, shades of lavender and orange on blue. One 2 1/2" ball, 4 centers chrysanthemum pattern, magenta and bright orange on a light orange background (it looks much better than it sounds). One 3 1/2" ball, 12 centers chrysanthemum pattern (the compass rose one I'd mentioned yesterday), dark green background, yellow and red and a little bit of sparkly black yarn for the pattern. Particularly nice effect on that mari, much more subtle than I'd expected looking at the colors in their skeins. Has a sort of Tsarist Russian Art effect, all enamel and precious gems and glittery intricate pattern.
By & I spent a good chunk of yesterday evening talking, about our friends and back off versus staying directly involved. Don't know that we solved anything. There are two emails from X from yesterday I'm trying to decide how to answer, or if I should answer. The last one was mostly upset, sounding guilty for putting so much on us--we did offer to help, but now we need to help ourselves, no harm, no foul, no blame on those involved.
We realized something last night, between talking to each other, and something someone said to us this weekend: X, and to a certain extent Y, are still in the same headspace they were in four weeks ago. Still just as shocked, still just as raw. From what we've seen, X isn't letting herself heal. Worries me, for her sake. Don't know that I can do anything about it, though. Don't know that I have the energy to try.
