First off — I might well finish this sock tonight. I know that I need to try to be a wee bit careful, ’cause I did my back in yesterday and thankfully managed to get comfortable and to sleep without taking pain meds. I’ve got a page of patterns bookmarked from the company that made the wool that my socks… Read more »

Z had ordered some new curtains for the girls’ room this week; they had blackout curtains, but they were dinosaurs and several years old. So now they have lovely blue curtains that they agreed upon, which are also to the thermal controlling side of life as well. And this? We’d clocked it when shopping for Littler’s birthday, and Z had… Read more »

I’d put my hair up in buns earlier because I had a random urge to. Between doing them tighter than I realised and Batman battering them with his full body for five minutes, they ended up in this artistic mess once I tried to take them down. I think that it actually sort of works — not that I could… Read more »

It has, generically, been a day. The only thing of real note is that Z had a meeting with the rest of our co-workers to discuss working arrangements going forward. I was a bit bummed initially about being stuck at home with the kids, but then I popped music on and was most chill. I could have gone along, but… Read more »

Today’s picture is a screencap from one of my all-time favourites, Serf City: Life is Feudal (aka, The Settlers 1). I just captured and burned an opponent’s castle, and while I don’t generally have the sound on these days, when you destroy a building, I swear it sounds like someone says ‘buuuuuurn’. It’s amused me since the mid-90s, so. That’s been… Read more »

…in that way that only a cat can be offended. He came over and yelled at me a bit, which means I probably should get up and check his water bowl. *checks* Yup. Poor thing probably thinks I’m a thicko with how slow I am to realise he wants me to do something, but he still loves my dumb butt… Read more »

Today took a turn for the warmer, which… bleh. I get it’s summer, but still! Squishy! Rude! It’s supposed to be this sort of warm again tomorrow, then dip down for a few days. We’ll see. It’s not like I can do a lot about it, outside of trying to keep cool-ish and hydrated. Ish. It’s wedding anniversary weekend, which… Read more »

I was getting ready to settle in to some quality zoning out, when I remembered that I needed to do my pillbox. I do it “week by week” rather than an entire month at once; I don’t know that psych meds really fare well too long out of the blister pack. It’s probably fine, but I am definitely prone to… Read more »

Or well, by a bunch of tickymarks, ha ha. I did get what I wanted done with my knitting last night, so that was pleasing. I’ve got the gusset going now, and would love to see that finished tonight. It’ll be another case of ‘we’ll see!’, but now that I’m past that point it feels like the end is much… Read more »

I am rather pleased at the progress that I’ve made on the heel flap since last night. I would love to see the heel completely done by the end of the evening, but we’ll see. I feel refreshed in returning to my knitting after the crochet break, so that’s something. I like… I’m weird. I get my best knitting done… Read more »
