Z had spotted a set of super-cute Among Us plushes on Amazon… which meant that we had to, of course, buy them. The original plan was to gift them to the entire fam for Christmas… but like we could make it that long. We waited until both the girls were home, and then hid them around the house for them to… Read more »

It’s finally happened — one of the students at the girls’ school has tested positive for Covid. It’s a person in Small’s class, so she’s off for two weeks. Apparently, our school is one of the last in the country to have anyone test positive, so hey… good. Ish. Smaller still gets to go to school unless any of us… Read more »

Ever since getting my new chair, Batman has cranked up the clinginess. There’s not a wide enough-low enough top for him to get on, so he just refuses to try to get on my chair at all. Instead it’s all like, mom you need to keep a hand down towards the ground for me to batter against, otherwise you’re not… Read more »

So like, if I were to pick an animal real or made up to represent me best, it would definitely be the kittencorn. Look! Cute! Grumpy! Stabby! It’s everything I am and could want to be, ha ha. I’ve had the purple one for a couple of years now, and meant to buy the entire rainbow originally. Except I waited… Read more »

Y’all, I am Knackered with a capital Kn right now. I spent today photographing, editing, and listing all the things I made to distract myself from the election last week… 18 listings later, and I’m not sure the last few make sense in any language, ha ha. I’ll have to double back and check them tomorrow, because for now… brain… Read more »

Z made us a lovely roast dinner this evening. There were all the appropriate bits — roasted meat, potatoes, parsnips, and carrots. Bliss. He’d had a pack of honey glaze left over from another roast, so the parsnips and carrots were decked to the nines. Bonus: he made such an epic portion of taters that I get some for lunch… Read more »

I noticed the other day a sign on the ground that there was going to be roadworks. I got to see the roadworks today — single file, y’all. Not that I really saw any cars besides the Amazon man’s van. I confused him by waving my phone at him, ’cause I was his next stop and it amused me. Bonus,… Read more »

So like, right now I have enough dice that I look like I’m trying to open a game store… and I ordered some more today. I have not been having the best of luck finding the right kind of light blue to enable me to do things like the demiboy and transgender flag, and I really. Really want to get… Read more »

Z’s phone rang from his pocket while he was covered in meat juices prepping dinner. It was our neighbour letting us know that they were going to shoot off some fireworks tonight, in a combination of ‘warning you for the sake of your cats’ (our cats are weirdly chill about fireworks), and just generally inviting us to stand in the… Read more »

My existing spool of chain is nearly run dry, so I had made a point to order more that looked to be a likely match. It’s close, but not perfect. I’ll still be able to use it, but I’ll have to rejigger my math slightly so that I use the right  amount of chain (I’d written my ‘recipes’ in number… Read more »
