Twinkly Toes

I have done what I wanted to do today, which was ignore everything and play more Stardew Valley. Well. And taking muuuuuuch longer than was reasonable, I got the wool pictured from skein to cake, and casted on for a gauge square. I’m probably not going to be super-knitty on them once the wool comes in for the snoods, but… Read more »

Today has been a good day. Even if I had to leave the house. We went over to E’s house so the kids could play, and I didn’t fall to pieces over her like I feared I would. We’d not hung out in person since Woolgate (as I’m calling it), though we’ve done our usual few lines of chatting most… Read more »

So, you know that snood I was knitting? It’s now been completely pulled back after talking to the person I’m making it for. She thought it would be cool if it was red and white stripes, so sure, why not. I ordered the wool for that and for the other one I’m making for her, so we’ll see how it… Read more »

Today has been a busy day of not getting a lot done. Someone unfriended me on Facebook overnight on the hilariously thinnest butthurtiest premises and I have been having a bit of a laugh all day about that. Like, not even mad — I am seriously cracking up like none other from my amusement level. To add to that, this… Read more »

On Duty

Z has a meeting tonight, so I pushed my spoonie self to be of use. I did some dishes and cleaning, I crockpotted us a lovely beef soup, and am currently child wrangling. That amounts to the big one being sorted and in bed, while the little one is sitting on me whining because I am doing something in addition… Read more »

Today’s featured images comes compliments of my friend Lyxia; she made it her Facebook cover photo and it made me smile. It is an understandably rough day for a lot of people with the end result of the Presidential election, so I’ve been doing my best to find little things to keep my spirits up. I also had something very… Read more »

Periscope Down

If there was ever a day to avoid the news and the wider internet, today is one of those days. I’ve been fortunate that my Facebook has been a mainly pleasant stream of people sharing that they voted. The only mildly annoying spot was some of the sanctimoniousness of the third-party voters, but eh. I’m not going to hold it… Read more »

Textual Masochism

I have pretty much done nothing besides writing today. I told myself that I was going to meet that 5,000 again, and try to surpass it. I’d set myself a hard cap of 10,000, but I’m definitely not going to make that without ending up a drooling wreck. The highest word count I’d ever gotten on a 750words.com entry was… Read more »

*waves* We have had company today. One of Z’s friends from when he lived abroad is fairly local doing a study course, so we invited him around to hang out. It’s been a nice day of chilling out and chatting, which means I don’t have overmuch to chatter about here. We played silly video games, we chatted, the children climbed… Read more »

Darn It

That’s… seriously been the extent of my ‘creative’ today. I was folding laundry and noticed one of my few sweaters had a little hole in the arm, so I brought it downstairs to mend it. I don’t know that it’s the tidiest mend. This is a shot of the inside, and it looks pretty okay there, but it’s slightly puckered… Read more »
