I’ve been letting loads of clean laundry build up for *mumbldey-nth* days now, and I finally cajoled myself into processing it. My arms hurt a looot, ha ha. I almost took a break post sorting because of it, but I figured that I should bull through and get my stuff folded and put away as well. Gold star? Gold star…. Read more »

Z and I were talking vacuums yesterday or the day before… and whelp, we have a new vacuum in today. *laughs* I was bemused at how cavalier he was about spending the £££ on it, having already forgotten that we had agreed we were going to spend money that would’ve been spent on/during holiday this year on goodies for the… Read more »

Spider-cat In a vat Lazy fuck, he stays there sat Which is to say, he was laying in the bathtub watching a spider on the ceiling. He looked like he was nigh-on drooling… but yanno, not even bothering to cackle threateningly at it. Ah well, at least he’s cute. Didn’t do much today, but that’s okay, ’cause yanno, my day… Read more »

So like, you would think two balls of yarn from the same dye lot would like… start at the same-ish place? These two deeefinitely did not. But eh, it’s fine. I am not one of those people obsessed with socks I knit being a perfect match for each other. If anything, I prefer same-ish, because it makes it a bit… Read more »

I succeeded in my goal of finishing the first sock last night, and got started on the second. I’m not completely sold on the toe; I think I might run more yarn through it and see if I can get it to snug up a tiny bit better. The thread running through is woven in extensively so it’s probably fine,… Read more »

Or the complete opposite, really, but I’ve had the line from the song stuck in my head, so I had to get it out. The a/c has actually done an admirable job of keeping things tolerable! The mercury hit mid-90s outside, which just… ugh. Z had to run an errand for his dad and he came back in declaring just… Read more »

This sock is going like woah, which is yay. Part of the speeding up process is that the foot of the sock is less stitches than ‘traditional’. I was worried that it was going to be too slim, but I feel a bit more confident now that I’ve got some progress made on it. I don’t know how far I… Read more »

I’m not sure exactly what it is I do to my poor nails, but they are not inclined to grow out in any meaningful way. Even if I trick the OCD into letting me, they’re really thin and fragile. I take vitamins. I slather ’em in solar oil. I guess I am just a bit too slammy on the tips… Read more »

I am almost done with this leggy part of the first sock, which is wonderful and delightful and stuff. I’m also really happy with how the colour is working up; I love that the gray has green and blue feels in it. Past that, generic day was generic. Work got done, food got eaten, life rolls on as usual. And… Read more »

Z commented to me earlier when going over his plans for dinner, ‘I hope you’re hungry.’ Turns out I was, ha ha. I ate allll of it and haven’t been slammed by ‘okay sleep now’, though I’m sure that’s not too far off. *yawns* And as you can probably spot at the back of the picture — I’ve made some… Read more »
