So, on the yay hand, I’ve managed to draw myself through a bath; the glory of clean hair is never underestimated. On the boo hand… I can’t deny the existence of my fibromyalgia anymore.  I’ve noticed the last couple of days that my bones felt heavy, and this morning, I’m like… is this my body attempting to understand pain? Turns… Read more »

Even with making the slowest of progress, progress *is* being made sock-wise. I’ve started on the heel flap, which is usually a point where I can find a bit more focus… not that I have a lot right now. Smalls suggested that we order pizza for dinner (it’s cheaper on Tuesdays), and we were down with it too. Between pizza… Read more »

Poison was rolling around on her back last night, showing us her most excellent belly. I can’t facedive it like I used to, because she’s much faster than she looks these days, but at least I was able to get photographic evidence of just how good it is. It’s vast and soft, and she is pretty down with bellypats. Both… Read more »

Smaller had her bestie around for a playdate earlier, which meant that friend’s parents were here as well. Playdate all around? Aww yiss. Our children have done a really badass job of befriending people with excellent parents, something that we appreciate in our ‘dotage’, ha ha. It was nice! Games were played, cake was eaten, and Z made it look… Read more »

This is where I semi-grump at having to fill up my pillbox. I know that it won’t take that long, and once it’s done, it’s done for the next 8 days. Still. I don’t relish it right now ’cause my back nerve has been pinchy all day, and was radiating all the way around my torso this morning. A dose… Read more »

I’m slooowly nudging along sockage. It’s finally gotten long enough to start changing to another colour, so that’s nice. I’m not not-knitting, but I guess I’ve just been a bit too fatigued to deal with it. Crochet is that arse-hair less thinky, so. It also doesn’t help that I have a smidge of headcold *again*, so add that atop the… Read more »

My kittencorn randomly fell off its shelf, which I took to be a ‘pet me now!’ sort of move. I know, it’s not real, it’s a toy, but what’s life without a bit of whimsy? And really, it plays into the fact I have been in a ridiculously good mood. By most metrics, I shouldn’t be. I forgot to take… Read more »

My hand continues to be turned in the crochet way. I’ve been using an ergonomic hook, though I don’t think it’s making much of a difference one way or the other. I crochet really weirdly, like… the hook moves, not the yarn. I’ve only run into one other person who does it that way, but who knows. Maybe there are… Read more »

I got an urge to make a few bits for my shop today. Or well, make bits, and then eventually get them into my shop. I restocked the rainbow bracelets that people love so much, and made a couple pairs of earrings that I’ve been meaning to science out for a few months now. My ‘test audience’ (aka, showing it… Read more »

We got called around to see Z’s parents today because their freezer is on the blink, could we help them look for a new one. So Z sat with them at his laptop and they looked at a few options, before deciding to replace like-for-like. It’s still keeping some degree of cold, but Mum wanted to get some of her… Read more »
