Hello...is there anybody in there?

Lately my mind has been blank. Like, nothing has popped into it for while...and it scares me!

Typically I have no problem with random thoughts running thru my brain. When I"m knitting, I'm usually thinking about what I need to do in my garden. 

• rake up the leaves in the back
• rake the leaves on the side of the house
• weed and feed the lawn
• prune the trees
• plant one more lilac bush along the fence
• fix the water timer manifold
• clean up the front garden

When I'm gardening I'm usually thinking about knitting.

• pull yarn for hats
• untie the grey/orange vest yarn that I mistakenly knit 100 stitches too long
• reknit the grey/orange vest
• make hotel reservations for the Homewood show
• order three 7' white umbrellas for the Menlo Park show

Now I know this is going to sound weird, but when I'm in the shower that's when I usually have brilliant ideas on what I need to build for my booth. 

• giant knitting needles for the MakerFaire
• a holder for the giant knit
• print out a new sticker for the new sign 
• find a white platter for the new sign
• e600 a hanger to the sign

But lately my mind has been empty. 

• Nothing 
• Nada
• Crickets
• a chamber filled with blankness
• silent

The last time that happened, I was in my upstairs bedroom, sitting in a chair by the window, staring at my great aunt Margaret's antique bed. All of a sudden, I realized  I had been sitting there, without a thought in my head, for at least 15 minutes. 

It freaked me out!

So I jumped up, ran downstairs into the garage, grabbed some paint and painted that bedroom brick red. 

I think I'll "paint" another shawl. That'll snap me out of this silence!
