Finally. Ish.

      No Comments on Finally. Ish.

As of a few minutes ago, I have started casting off on my dratted/lovely shawlette. I’ve not done the cast off it calls for before, so it’s a bit fussy to do. It probably won’t take as long to do as I think, but at this exact second I don’t want to deal with it either. It also doesn’t help… Read more »

Getting There

      2 Comments on Getting There

Knitting is… slowly progressing today. I keep distracting myself with silly things like kids and work and games, ha ha. Naw like, kids and I made it through the day alive, work got worked, and I’ve made more progress on my knitting today than I probably have in a single day in awhile. And I intend to pick it back… Read more »

And If Yesterday Was Bad…

      No Comments on And If Yesterday Was Bad…

Today is legit worse. Like, Texas-hot worse — nudging into the 90s. That’s not British at all, hrmph. So of course, I propose we have Stitch ‘n Bitch outside tonight to take advantage of the warmth… so it’s starting to look like rain. Lulz. ¬¬ Still, at least the heat worked out for one thing — Z got out the… Read more »

It Burrrrrnssss

So like, out of nowhere, it was scalding hot today. I’ve only been outside once, and that was after five to take something to the bin. My plan of ‘don’t move, stay under the fan’ had once again paid off, ha ha. So of course, I was reminded that we were overdue for a planned picnic, and could we have… Read more »

This head cold aftermath needs to die already, because today I have been swirly-dizzy. Having said that, while Skyping with my sister, she mentioned something about ear popping helping with ear infections. I gave it a go and my head felt like it had exploded. I think it was helpful? I’m still dizzy, but feeling a teense in the right… Read more »

De Nada

Today was a spectacularly do-nothing day. Like, I finally unpacked the few bits still hanging out in my suitcase from a few weeks ago.  That’s seriously it, ha ha. Well, continuing HeartGold, and knitting, and a bit of Minecraft too. I’m feeling a bit better than yesterday, I think. I know that I was dragging my butt because Littlerbit tucked… Read more »

She’s Having a Baby (No, Not Me :p)

      No Comments on She’s Having a Baby (No, Not Me :p)

Not me, definitely not me. Two are more than enough, and we are very committed to having an abortion if one should get past the Mirena coil and eventual vasectomy. Even if I occasionally have tiny wistful moments thinking of babies, I remember being in too much pain to sit, walk or sleep combined with the weight that each pregnancy… Read more »

Tacos Tacos Tacos

On Tuesday, I got the hankering for tacos in the explosive, tweeting TACOSTACOSTACOS (etc) sort of way. I was amused, and for once, my brain was happy to try and put that into action. Well, it helped that Z had some chicken breasts to hand, as I wanted to try my hand at crockpot chicken taco filling. So then, a… Read more »

Oh, For Eff’s Sake

      No Comments on Oh, For Eff’s Sake

Smallhausen has been trying to break me of my swearing, which means I probably should do more of it here. Fuck fuckety on a shit-covered fuckpike, etc. Better? Better. Sort of. The day got off to a fairly good start, in spite of me completely forgetting to take my meds last night and taking forever and the guest bed to… Read more »

Tired

Here, have some pictures. First things first, the girls slept the night through together. It wasn’t the most auspicious start because Littlerbit gets shrieky at being ‘abandoned’, but after initial drama, she was in bed until her sister woke up this morning. Can I saw awesome, or awesome? I’m fervently hoping that we see a repeat tonight, so fingers crossed… Read more »
