I love painting my nails. I’ve spent ungodly amounts of money on good polish in the past half a year, though most of that came out of birthday/Christmas/year end bonus monies (and I’ve been supplementing my addiction by doing a few surveys). Besides generally making me happy, it also helps my brain be tricked into letting me have some nail… Read more »

Whelp, totally forgot to check in here last night — sorry about that. I messaged my sister back in our hometown because we were super overdue for a Skype call, and got a sister twofer. So that was nice, circumstances considering. We talked for something like two and a half hours, and it was gone in seconds. I love the… Read more »

figured I’d share an update on the current blanket effort. Crochet always grows faster than knitting, but sometimes I’m surprised by it. I’m also surprised that I’m not bored yet, but I’m not complaining about that either. Beyond that, playing some Evil Genius, and doing as little as possible. I’m still feeling wiped from yesterday, so. At least I got some… Read more »

Today was the village VE Day picnic — social distancing style. I’m all sorts of snoozy from being out in the sun for a couple of hours, lemme tell you. There were less people out in our street than we’d hoped to see, but the neighbours were there as promptly as we were, and between them and visitors to the… Read more »

I wish bathing and washing my hair wasn’t such a chore. I feel better after, albeit more tired. Like, can you bottle the feeling of clean hair and just roll around in it? Naw like, not shampoo, ha ha. But yeah, had to get myself up to ‘normal passing’ standards. Thursday clapping usually dovetails into Thursdays standing outside and chatting… Read more »

Today’s photo comes compliments of Z, pointing his camera pretty much directly behind his head, which is where Poison normally can be found. She’s not usually mugging that hard with the loot llama though, so I couldn’t resist using it for tonight’s picture. There isn’t really anything to report. I got to sleep a smidge easier last night, so that… Read more »

Y’all, time got away from me, but I’m here. Somewhere. *laughs* We were watching The Rise of Skywalker for the first time at home, and I definitely like it better when I can sit in my own space and watch it with captions. And now we’re watching the extras, because Disney+ has that hookup the same as buying the actual DVD…. Read more »

I ended up doing my hands two different colours today, since both in my last order were perfectly springy. And the weather today is also perfectly springy; it had a good balance of warm and chill and fresh and. Loves it. Past that, the day has mainly been sitting around doing little and feeling a bit crap. I’ve hit one… Read more »

My desk is always at a state of war with itself. This is what I would consider to be mainly tolerable, if only because it’s mainly shoved behind Baby (which is the nickname the laptop in the picture has). But really, it’s more a ‘here is a picture, I don’t have anything to say today’. Which is fine! Means I’ve… Read more »

When it comes to crochet, I usually get really bored rather quickly. It’s not that knitting isn’t repetitive; it’s in part that I can knit without looking. I can’t say the same of crochet for some reason. Oddly enough, crocheting a bit slower than my normal pace is making the whole prospect less of a drama. I don’t know how… Read more »
