Turns out I'm just anemic. I've been so tired lately. I finally saw my PA last week. She did a ton of bloodwork, scared me into thinking that maybe I was preggo, and told me to wait a couple of days for the results. Luckily, I manage the medical practice where I get my care...I looked up my own results the minute they were available. So I need more iron in my diet and possibly supplements (which I'm avoiding because they hurt my tummy-- which you you rather be tired or in pain? It's a toss up).
The fatigue has drastically affected my knitting production. I've barely touched Rebecca's Icarus Shawl in the last couple of weeks. I've started Fad Classic but am not in the mood. And the desire to work on the Puff Sleeve Feminine Cardi has come and gone. I need some energy and some motivation. Here's my pathetic attempt at progress:
Since I haven't felt like knitting, I've read a few books. One of great notice is The Kite Runner. It was beautifully written and an amazing story of life. I loved the author's, Khaled Hosseini, style so much that I just started his second novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns. So far, I'm interested but I literally just started it--so it's more like a "TBD".
Well, you guessed it, I'm tired. I'm going to go rest and maybe read a little if I can get through the guilt of not wanting to knit.

Glad to hear it wasn't anything serious. :-)
Glad that you're doing okay!
Awwww! well, it still looks pretty. (The knitting, not the anemia. Although possibly that too.)
Sorry to hear about the anemia and the tiredness. I am feeling you there. I love the Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid suns - both are so wonderfully written and beautiful. The shawl is looking lovely.
You've made more progress than I have on Fad Classic. Seeing yours helps me visualize the start better. I'm just starting to get my knitting mojo back after moving and crazy busy weeks at work. I hope you start to pep up soon! :)
