It feels nice to go back to the most basic AF sock-making after ages. I might pick something more challenging for my next pair, when I get there, but we’ll see. I have been fending off the worst headache all day; Z reckons it’s due to the sudden reduction of sugar going into me. He’s probably right, and in the… Read more »

Finally had my phone appointment with my doctor this morning; he declares me to be diabetic. So it goes. I’m in next month to talk to the diabetic nurse about treatment, ,and choosing to assume that the diabetes is a potential factor in the severity of the vertigo BS lately. Z ent to the shop for me, picked up some… Read more »

So uh, got slapped with a murder wave of vertigo earlier. Staring in the far distance did nothing to try and centre my brain. My bucket was my dearest of friends. I was vibrating… and I think that it all adds up to ‘should’ve called 999/gone to A&E’. I told Z that, so we’ll think about what we want to… Read more »

Sock #1 is coming along alright. I dropped the end of row stitch marker at some point and had to estimate how many I’d done before I realised what had happened. But it’s fine, it’s fine. I can just go by measurement if the rows don’t quite go together. The main places I specifically need the number mapping are the… Read more »

We got all three of the furkids through flea baths this morning/afternoon. None of them were keen on it, but Vivi was the only one who managed to claw me up. All of them were pretty chill about being towelled up and in my lap for a bit of combing and drying. Everyone has returned to normal levels of fluff… Read more »

I’d commented to Z that I had been tempted to buy some ridiculously huge googly eyes for our a/c upstairs — like, seven inch. He said three would be fine, and then acquired enough for me to apply them to all four a/c units. The ones in Smaller’s room have already fallen off, but I said I’d try to get… Read more »

I decided that I wanted to upgrade my lightbox to something bigger, and whelp. It’s bigger! *grins* I’m not quite ready to start taking pictures of things, but I’m looking forward to it when I find the spoons to do that. Not much today really. Turned off my alarm and slept in. I’ll put my weekday alarm for 9am, but… Read more »

Poison still growls and asserts dominance over the boys, and they respond appropriately in kind. But they also try their luck a bit more, which makes Poison hit this adorable note between trying to growl at them, and meow at us about the indignity. Still, she’s developing tolerance, slowly; it helps that the boys continue to try and engage. Maybe… Read more »

Both of the boys realised that the slope and shape of Z’s torso when he’s sitting on the couch is awesome for snuggles. I’m pleased for Z, but also super jealous — where’s my love? *laughs* But naw, I do love it, and I am permitted by cat in situ to add to the pet quotient. Plus, I make the… Read more »

We’ve hit the high today, 99F, and now it’s on the way down. Tomorrow is still predicted to get up to 104-105F, which. Redonk. The air conditioning has done its job and kept the house admirably comfortable, for which I am grateful. Not up to much of anything today, besides staying still and in the cool. <3
