ASHEPHERD: 001

Okay, I'm so fed up! Knitting needles can go die in a fiery pit with their stupid fine motor control! And the yarn, too, can suck it and stop knotting because I did not tell it to do that.

Also, when did frustration come with anger?!

Well, depending on how bad it is maybe I can help you start over. And taking a walk is probably good. Get a little distance from the project. I'd be happy to show you, just let me know when works best for you.

Thank you. Appreciate it. I am willing to attempt this again.

I find it quite relaxing once I got into it, so hopefully it can do the same for you. Although I think Kit has found it less relaxing and mostly humours me.

I fear I may follow in my brother's footsteps. I'll give it a go all the same.

It doesn't hurt to try plus it's good to try new things.

I've been trying, and I've been trying old things, but now with the veil. Experimenting, some might say.

A lot of things feel brand new again, which is an odd but good feeling.

Definitely odd but I am growing to like it.

It takes some time to get used to but it's good to know that what you're feeling, enjoying, hating are real.

You have a very good point. I'd rather fell frustrated then just numb.

Exactly how I feel. Sometimes it's hard to remind ourselves of that in the moment.

It is. I am settling more now talking it out with people. I didn't stab anything with the needles just put them down.

That's good to hear, I'm glad you didn't stab anything. I completely understand the urge to.

Glad I'm not the only one to have such an urge at times.

I'm not humoring you. I mostly like spending time with you admittedly but it is relaxing

I was mostly kidding. It's just nice to get to share something that I like plus you're improving!

Oh, so you were fishing? I see how it is

But it is. I appreciate you sharing it with me

I love fishing. It keeps me young.

Maybe I'll get to teach both Shepherds. That would be fun.

How many compliments a day do you require for that?

It would be, yes, though if Archie is the better student, you can't tell me; my heart couldn't take it

I can’t quantify the exact number. Some days it’s more some less.

No, I’ll keep your skill levels private from one another. I couldn’t handle breaking your heart over knitting.

If you are ever struggling to meet your daily quota, let me know. I cannot promise the quality of the compliment(s) but I will try

Only over knitting? Is breaking my heart acceptable in other scenarios?

Well, then I need several right now.

I realized as I said that, it sounded like this was the only scenario where I would care. Which is not the case.

Define several and I'll see what I can do

Whew, I'm very relieved to know my heart is in safe hands

Three? Four? Either will do.

As you should be.
