Today, I’d describe myself as a little tightly wound. If my brain were fiber spun out onto a wheel, we’d be just past the point of optimal tension, to the point where, if you put a little more stress on it, something yucky will happen to your yarn. Too yucky to contemplate.

(Background: There are two big work projects with critical deliverables due today. I’ve never done this type of project before and I’ve had only three days to work on them.)

Sadly, I may be past the point where knitting can help me relax. I need something involving gross motor skills, like running or hitting something with a stick.

With that, please enjoy this comic.
