yarn instead of doomscrolling

been sending out job applications for what feels like forever and the worst part isn’t the waiting, it’s how often I catch myself refreshing my email for no reason. dug my knitting bag out of the closet this week and started a scarf with no real plan for it, just something to keep my hands moving instead of my thumb hovering over the inbox. it’s slow and a little uneven in spots but honestly that’s kind of the point, nobody’s grading it. my mom used to say idle hands go looking for trouble and I think mine were looking for the refresh button. still no word back from most places but at least now when I’m waiting I have something to show for it besides a sore scrolling thumb. keeping the needles out on the coffee table so I actualy reach for them instead of my phone. small trade, but it’s helping more than I expected.
