Y’all ever get randomly surprised by your partner doing something considerate and hilarious? *points at picture* Boom. Just what I needed this morning after feeling a bit down last night. Doesn’t make my rotting meatsack feel any healthier, but mood, good. Mood was also improved by resolving the thing yesterday that put me off-kilter,  so party. Tonight, the family is… Read more »

Y’all ever do something you know is good, but your brain just kind of melts and falls into doubts and guilt? Yeah, dumb brains *pokes with Q-Tip*. It’s fine though, really. Probably. Mainly though, just been basking in the relative chill. It’s definitely turned to the time of year where the heat needs to be on a smidge more. I… Read more »

We were getting Mum caught up on the last few days earlier. We’d had the parent/teacher conference call with Smaller’s teacher (all good!). We also hadn’t told her yet that we’d had the declutterer around, or that we had indeed asked her to find a time to fit us in. Mum was getting ahead of herself, and indeed ahead of… Read more »

The past week has been headache heavy, what with adjusting to the new glasses. But like… tension headaches? I’m not really sure. I think I’ve a smidge of a cold too, so I’ve slapped some Vaporub on my very solid-feeling temples, in addition to taking some co-codamol and ibuprofen. I’m also making a point to have a few minutes of… Read more »

The kids are, weather permitting, actually going out trick-or-treating this year. I’m still not up to interfacing with the public, so me and Mum are gonna chill here while Z and the kids are out. We have a tube of glowsticks that we make sure they go out with each year, and I accidentally broke one while getting them out…. Read more »

And thus, I got two cat hats out of a 100g ball of yarn, just. Like, a gram of wool left, ha ha. But that’s good! Now I have a spare hat to… something something. Stop distracting me from other crafting on my table, at least. Of course, the other crafting requires headaches to calm the fuck down. The whole… Read more »

We’ve got A and her parents around, and somehow the gaming made its way to My Name is Mayo. Apparently everyone is charmed by clicking on a jar of mayo, ha ha. But also, Friday! IT’S FRIDAY. It’s been a long week, in part ’cause of the whole getting used to new glasses thing. Today is feeling better in the face,… Read more »

Almost done with hat #2. It’s gonna be close as to whether or not I’ll manage to pull it off with the remaining yarn. It won’t be the end of the world if I need to do the last couple rows in another colour… but anyways. It’s fun to feel challenged in silly ways. I ended up going around to… Read more »

So uh, my bisexual disaster self managed to buy bi flag-coloured sunglasses, and didn’t notice until they were at my house. Yay? *laughs* I love them already, but now I super love them. And yeah, I identify as bi/pan because I’ve been using bi since the mid-90s, even if pan is more accurate, but I don’t see the point in… Read more »

And because some good things have come out of this Covid bullshit, my new glasses showed up via courier this evening. As usual, there’s gonna be a period of adjustment — ESPECIALLY since my left eye has apparently shit the bed since my last eye exam, requiring a bigger adjustment. They are also a bit lighter, which is an adjustment,… Read more »
