Working fiber into my new life

I am in the midst of a new life. I've moved in my with new boyfriend. That is an amazing concept, for someone that was married for 37 years. We met in the ICU and he lost his wife of 21 years the day before Jeffrey died. It is a wild and crazy relationship for a couple of geezers, but an extremely happy one. The problem that I am seeing, so far, is that I've done no fiber work at all. I've tried to knit a bit, but that's about it. I've taken the spindles out a few times. And the boyfriend is totally unfamiliar with knitting and spinning. He is willing to learn, but it's going to be tough to teach him if I'm not doing any work. I think that I will do more of this, as I settle into the relationship. For now, it's on the back burner.
