One of the doofy things that I love about our printer, and its predecessor, is that I can print out graph paper. I use it for so many games, and for knitting, and well. This was planning out my spring garden in Stardew Valley, which is the biggest garden I’ve ever bothered to plant. I already have the greenhouse, which is… Read more »

I was chatting with a dear friend earlier, and I was telling her about how I was playing video games and knitting. She asked me how many hands I had, so I had to explain the forms my ADHD takes. Like, I hyperfocus on things for seconds, maybe minutes at a time, and then move onto something else. Is it… Read more »

Gaming is happening, knitting is happening. I’m making fairly good progress on this sock. I’m not going to magically finish it tonight by any stretch, but at least I’ll be completing the gusset and getting started on the home stretch. And for me, the second sock is always faster and easier than the first, because all the ‘hard’ math has… Read more »

At least, the children are more or less content. They got a good haul on the whole; Nanny and Grandad got them new tablets, which made them very happy. My haul was good too — books and candy, and fluffy socks too. We gave Z some silly coasters, office supplies, Funko Pop, and a burrito blanket. With the latter, I… Read more »

Everyone is scrubbed up and ready to greet Christmas day. The stockings have been fished out, Z picked up things to put in them, and the presents have been more or less in place for a couple of days now. #organised, amirte. I *DO* feel organised today though. I’ve made myself a tickylist of chores and gotten through most of… Read more »

No matter how many socks I do, I always manage to surprise myself with just how quickly they actually build. I’ve done 25~ rounds today so far, which yanno… neat. I don’t know if I’m going to finish the leg part of the sock today (probably not), but at least I’m in good nick to maybe have this pair done… Read more »

After what has felt like the world’s longest cuff, I’m finally onto the body of the first sock. I’m busy being easily distracted by video games, which yanno, perfect for a nice weekend day. And heh, more so for one I woke up convinced was a Monday. Whups. That’s the main thing, really. It’s skein’d over my stomach feeling mildly… Read more »

Being free to return to knitting my socks, I instead dived into sorting my second sack of beads. Being 8/0s, I’m almost done with the lot, even if the weight is similar or maybe a bit more. Right now I’m sorting through the six (!!!) translucent shades. Having said that, sorting them hasn’t been too dire since I made a… Read more »

Yeah so, it’s raining. There’s a lot of raining. The forecasts don’t put it anywhere near cold enough to snow this far south — but there’s gonna be even more rain. Yay. ¬¬ At least it wasn’t so bad when I was doing my Post Office run. Last night, on the other hand? Torrential to the point of ‘wahey, where’s… Read more »

I spotted these sad little hanging baskets on our way out of the movie theatre this afternoon. I’m pretty sure that they are actual flowers to look so sad, but yeah. Sad. Less sad was the whole getting to see the new Star Wars before anyone else we knew, hee hee. I won’t say anything besides that, but if anyone wants… Read more »
