Outside My Window

      No Comments on Outside My Window

The blinds have stayed pulled shut for the most part lately. But I spotted a strange orange-y colour through a crack, and had to investigate. I was rewarded with this here rainbow! There is much I love about living in the United Kingdom, but the fact I see several rainbows a year is one of them. I guess you can’t… Read more »

Flying Under the Radar

      No Comments on Flying Under the Radar

I have… pretty much nothing to say today, ha ha. Like, I’m here, I’m alive, I think I’m feeling a bit better than yesterday? I sort of have my meds again, though the one I had run out came in the wrong dosage because they didn’t have the right one. I was instructed to just cut it in half to… Read more »

All For Meeeeeeeeee

I woke up this morning with Z coming upstairs to tell me that he was pre-sanctioning a Teeturtle purchase for me. He said it was made just for me as I blinked the grit out of my eyes, and he wrestled with his phone to show me. And lo, indeed, it’s made just for me, ha ha. Both Z and… Read more »

I Dream of Not Moving…

      No Comments on I Dream of Not Moving…

So that is exactly what I am doing, in a freshly laundered bathrobe. This picture was from earlier; I’m sharing it ’cause I wanted to show off my latest Teeturtle purchase. I’m not usually a fan of motivational thingies, but 2016 was the year I became a unicorn, so it was incredibly relevant. But yes, home in a bathroom on… Read more »

Hjalp!

      No Comments on Hjalp!

I have a few hours of kid duty this evening, horrors of horrors. Z has a meeting, which is fine. It’s my first time tending the fort alone since we’ve been sleep training Littlerbit. He read them some stories before leaving, so really, I just had to herd them upstairs, teeth and toilet, and then into bed. I miiiiiight’ve (definitely)… Read more »

My Attempt at an Angry Face

      No Comments on My Attempt at an Angry Face

Yeah, not really sure that it looks angry… mildly concerned, maybe? But I am pretty upset right now. The tl;dr is that bat’s sister is turfing her out and making her sell her home. There are reasons for it, but I still feel that bat is getting royally screwed to fulfil an agenda his sister has been pushing for years…. Read more »

Done and Done

Today, I finished the hat. Did the knitting, did the sewing, and called it done. Wound up the wool, and found that have more than enough to do a second one. I guess that’s going to make it easier to fulfil EK’s request, hee hee (that is, if she’s happy with the pink <3). I noted a Facebook friend comment… Read more »

Solidarity Knitting

My biggest task today was to continue knitting on the pussy hat. While I’m almost done with the knitting (another 18 rows to go), I don’t expect to finish it tonight. I might finish the knitting, but then there’s still the sewing. It’s two hours until bedtime though, so who knows. I’d love to be able to finish it enough… Read more »

It Burns!

      2 Comments on It Burns!

Pink is not a colour I normally purchase. In raising two daughters, I have been overly mindful of things like the pink tax, of how often those overpriced pink good are of poorer quality, of the pressure on children to fit into the perceived gender binary (never mind that gender is a social construct, while biological sex is all over… Read more »

Roses

I am… half asleep, so like, hi. I’m here. Have a glass of Roses. Or at least, Roses wrappers, har har. I was jokingly calling them the casualty of war because they were originally strewn across the table, but then they got tidied up and looked randomly attractive. Or something. I don’t know, my brain is asleeeeeeeeeep. Knitting was good… Read more »
