Batman isn’t much of a lap cat, but I can sometimes get him to endure it. He always presses his head into the crook of my arm now, and it’s just. So cute. I did my best to not pin him in so he could leave when he wanted to, and indeed, he wandered off shortly after. I’m still impressed… Read more »

Shortly after I woke up this morning, I got slammed with a sharp pain in the head and a strong wave of fatigue. I threw pain meds and caffeine at in and managed to stay upright, but man. Rude. And that’s more or less set the tone for the day. I did manage to work-work, but it was a slow… Read more »

We received communique from the school last night that the boiler was acting up, but that school would be in session. This morning… not so much. But the only point we could confirm it was a text to me. Z didn’t get one. It wasn’t on FB, it wasn’t on the school website… until AFTER everyone had time to walk… Read more »

Today is one of those days where I end up with a game running on all my computers… semi-whups, semi-awesome, ha ha. Bonus points to anyone who can identify all three games. ;D That, a wee bit of knitting, and sorting of laundry has made up my day so far. I finished the scarf I started yesterday before I went… Read more »

I finished the first sock of the pair earlier today, which means getting started on the scarf for Littler. I’m through the first ball of wool, ’cause super chunky builds quickly. She was so chuffed that she tried to park herself in my lap to watch, but I finally managed to shift her so I could get my old lady… Read more »

Whenever I order the odd ball of yarn off of eBay or Amazon, they usually show up vacuum packed. Which, to be fair, makes sense. It doesn’t really do it any harm. It costs less to ship. It goes through mailslots without the postie having to flag down a human. I was super amused because this is the first time… Read more »

We woke up to snow this morning, which was super pleasing. It fell for a few hours, but it was too warm to stick to pavement in any meaningful way. Which is good! I just wanted to see it happen, not have it endanger my family. It’s back to rain for the foreseeable future, but at least the itch to… Read more »

I’ve got to say, it’s really soul soothing to return to my nail polish-loving roots. I fell out of the habit when I was in the Air Force, because the colour restrictions were not to my taste. Red? In cammies? Um yeah, naw. Plus, I didn’t really find any reds I liked until I fell into a-england. I’ve new reds… Read more »

Behold, the field in which I grow my nail polish! My order came in bright and early, and after a day of it hanging out on my desk, I made a point to fish out my racks and get them sorted out. I took the box that my order came in and shoved all my not-posh polishes in it. I’ve… Read more »

I was working on my sock earlier, when I realised that my nail polish matches the sandy gold bits in the sock wool. I’ve made good progress since this photo — about two inches, and have moved on to the heel flap. It would be awesome to get the rest of the way through the heel tonight, but we’ll see…. Read more »
