I decided last night in bed that I was going to frog my sock so far. There was a little run along the pattern section, and just. No. I had to slap my hand to stop myself overthinking the same spot and repeating my error… I think I’ve got it under control. And this pattern knits up so quickly that… Read more »

I’m well stuck into my next pair of socks now. I’ve already completed the first iteration of the charted pattern, and am making good headway on my second pass. The main thing is that I’ve managed upright all day. Had to throw the heavy artillery of pain meds at it, but I’m more or less holding up. I need to… Read more »

I woke up feeling a bit spinny, so slapped snooze. A few snoozes later, I just turned it off and went back to sleep. I got Z to bring me water and some meds in the early afternoon, and managed to get out of bed around 4pm. I am still feeling awful, but I’ve had food, more pain meds, and… Read more »

One of the things we got Smaller for Christmas was a small snowglobe kit. It came with pictures you could colour and change out behind the globe, which I thought was pretty neat. She managed to bash it open on accident a few days ago, so it ended up on my desk. I bought some glitter to add to it… Read more »

It’s a stack/pile of very good boys! October was in the window strutting her stuff for as much attention as she could, because that’s what the tiny diva does. Halokitty kept circling his big brothers trying to figure out how he wanted to jigsaw in, and this was only one of the permutations. Z had his long covid consultation today;… Read more »

So it turns out my appointment today wasn’t my ENT appointment being bumped up — it was a separate appointment with Audiology. I had a lengthy hearing test, and now have confirmation that I’ve lost a fair amount of hearing in my left ear. Rude. Then it turns out that ENT cancelled my bloody appointment because if I’m seeing Audiology,… Read more »

Halokitty was chilling in the bathroom this morning, so I took a picture. And then decided to art it up, because my wall needs cleaning and this way I can pretend I’m stylistic, ha ha. Plus, it means trying to actually learn basic Photoshop skills I’ve neglected over the years, so. Bonus. Past that, just trying to keep the dizz… Read more »

My friends back in Texas are posting all these ice pictures, and we have what I consider Texas winter temps here. Which is to say, I’m wandering around without a jacket outside, and shoes to go to the bin? Nah. Anyways, the main thing is that I’ve survived the week. It’s been a bit of a rough one with the… Read more »

Z bought me a pack of stabbytastic pins for my birthday. So I bought a set of small pinboard strips, and placed the goods on it. I miiiiight have one more pin somewhere on my desk, but I also might not. I’d been putting them on my purse originally, but I knocked them all off — even with having superglued… Read more »

Okay, I had to cheat slightly to get all four of them on the bed. Vivi was napping on the table behind me, so I scooped him up and deposited him upstairs. I caught him at the right time, ’cause he gave me a flat look, curled up, and stayed very put. Only other thing of vague excitement is taking… Read more »
