Lack of motivation

I can't bring myself to knit at the moment. I want to, but it's just not happening. First it was post-Christmas blues, then my grandmother died (although I did do lots of knitting with my mum when I went back to England for the funeral), then I got a bit sick, then I started a new job and now I'm sick again with some kind of throat infection . I have managed to knit a row and a half of my baby booties this morning though, but with a temperature going up to 39°, I'm not really feeling like doing much.
