Socky!

      No Comments on Socky!

I have somehow survived another day home with the kids. Heh, that makes the situation sound a lot worse than it was. They’re good kids who love to play with each other, but I keep having this stupid persistent throbbing headache, and it doesn’t mesh well with boisterous babes. I pulled Smallhausen over at one point and gave her hugs… Read more »

That’s Better (Cry It Out)

      No Comments on That’s Better (Cry It Out)

As you can see, the sock is now moving in the right direction after I effed it up last night. At least that’s one thing going in my favour right now. Not going in our favour as of this second is trying again to get Littlerbit sleep trained. We had a specialist in this morning (gratis on the NHS, love… Read more »

Turn Turn Turn

      No Comments on Turn Turn Turn

I’ve been cheerfully working on my knitting today. It’s been a good distraction (along with video games) to my continually feeling crap. Stupid cold resurging or something, am I right? Of course, I got ahead of myself on my knitting, as pictured here. I tried to turn the heel without actually doing the heel. At least it wasn’t too much… Read more »

Adventure Time

      No Comments on Adventure Time

Today was one of those days where we had plans to go out for one quick errand, and we ended up being out half the day. Whups. You see, we needed to get a new toilet seat. The one upstairs started breaking mumbelty months ago, and finally finished biting the bullet last night. Which meant that whelp, the procrastination time… Read more »

Idiocy Squared

      No Comments on Idiocy Squared

I have been super-stymied on getting work-work done this week. The server connection has been super slow, it keeps dropping, and I have lost literally hours of working time this week. Considering that I only work part-time, and I am desperate to catch up before we go on Christmas break, I’ve been less than impressed. I was even more unimpressed… Read more »

Start Them Early

      No Comments on Start Them Early

Back in the days when I was a console gamer, because it was console or nothing in the home. The console of choice was the Nintendo Entertainment Center, in part because we weren’t rich enough for a Sega, and in part because I had played it at the babysitter’s house and I thought it would be a good family gift….

Another Hot Date (Misery Incarnate)

      No Comments on Another Hot Date (Misery Incarnate)

I have had a cold developing over the last couple of days. I went to bed with Sir Olbas Oil last night, and woke up feeling pretty rough. I’ve had some chest pain the last couple of days which I presumed was bra-related, so I decided to go without today (weekend slobbing, aww yiss?). It doesn’t seem to have helped,… Read more »

My Day in a Picture

      No Comments on My Day in a Picture

Well, this picture is lacking the cake aspect of the day. There’s definitely cake in the house. It was the ‘Winter Bonanza’ at Smallhausen’s school today, which basically means ‘come forth and give us money for tat’. So we bought our annual portion of reindeer food, Small’s annual glitter tattoo, and three cakes. We were there as they were preparing… Read more »

Onwards, Ho!

      No Comments on Onwards, Ho!

I had a scheduled Skype date with my sister this evening, so my hands were kept busy with knitting rather than writing or gaming. It was a good two hour chat, and reminded me that I am glad that we are the people we are now rather than the people that we used to be. We’ve tentatively pencilled in again… Read more »

Snood v2.0

      No Comments on Snood v2.0

My wool order came in this morning, hooray! I made to make myself put off playing with it until after work-work. I did a couple fiddle arounds with it before asking the intended recipient what she liked best, so now I know the plan of action for the knittery. I’m glad, obviously — I’m hoping it will help me get… Read more »
