How do you wait?

Or maybe I should ask,
What do you do when you're waiting?

I sometimes take pictures, like here and here.

For the past couple of years, I've been crocheting hats. They don't take up too much space in my bag, and I can work on them any place. Here I'm wearing one of the new ones I made for myself. I also crochet at work, when the kids are taking tests. I can keep scanning the room to check for cheaters and other problems simultaneously. There's also nothing better than crocheting during staff meetings and all sorts of lectures.

I used to do needlepoint, but my walls are full, and you can't take scissors on airplanes.

Sometimes I say T'hillim (Psalms,) since I'm part of two groups who share out the entire 150.

I no longer carry around a book to read. They're heavy and demand too much concentration, which crocheting, at least my kind, doesn't.
