Chipping Away

      No Comments on Chipping Away

Since we were all stuck at home today due to weather, we mainly took it easy. But Z also spearheaded getting a tidying task that we wanted done started. We’re not completely done processing the junk into less junk, but we’ve managed to throw quite a few old toys away, in addition to rubbish that had hidden itself amongst other… Read more »

Drifting

      No Comments on Drifting

While the snow isn’t accumulating too deeply on the ground due to wind, it’s building up quite nicely in our trampoline. Z reckons it’s about 8 inches, and I guess there’s more to potentially come? We’ll see. All I know is that the girls were wise to call of knitting tonight, as the roads are ghastly out there. I intend… Read more »

Dressed for Success

      No Comments on Dressed for Success

If there is one thing I like about winter, it’s being cold enough that I can wear a dress. Most of the year, I’m flipping layers on and off a dozen times a day because the ambient temperature is never quite right. Right now, it’s chilly enough that I can have the layer on, and maybe even another one. I… Read more »

The Best View

      2 Comments on The Best View

It’s the weekend, so we’re doing what we do best — sitting on our butts playing video games. Smalls and Littler got their Diablo on with Z earlier, and then played a few games with him on his VR headset. It’s pretty cool, the headset; it’s set up so that people not wearing the VR helmet can play as well. I’m… Read more »

Thirteen

Season 13 of Diablo III started yesterday. So of course, most of my time since then has been dedicated to an initial play-through of the game before I can move on to the more fun aftercore sort of things. I’m most of the way through Act V, and am currently in the Pandemonium Fortress (as pictured). So I should easily be… Read more »

Fun With Hair

      No Comments on Fun With Hair

I like having long hair. For one, I find it easier to care for — it’s brush and go, really. For two, it’s fun to play with. When I don’t have anything else to hand, it’s a good fidget cube analogue, and always has been for me. Plus, having lots of hair gives you chances to do fun things with… Read more »

Eeeee!

Z and the girls got home right as I was starting to fend off a nasty headache. Then Z asked the magic question — would I like a coffee? Well yes, caffeine helps, and I hoped it would make a dent in the gross factor of throbbing headosity. To my delight, he handed me coffee in a new unicorn mug,… Read more »

Grudging

Yes, this face is a grumpy face, sort of. I took a bath, grudgingly, and came out of it feeling really sick and headache-y. Like, overheated? I know I like a hot bath, but I am hella confused by the feeling overheated thing. I chucked some caffeine and paracetamol at it, and am currently trying to make sure I’ve got… Read more »

Much Better

      No Comments on Much Better

Today, I did the chore I wanted to get done the most — I got under the dining table cleared out, and was able to return the chair to the dining room. I took the (very) modest momentum I managed to build up to get rubbish picked up, and the vacuumed whizzed around my rug. There is always more that… Read more »

I figured I was overdue in showing a progress picture, so here you go. I’m only a few rows to go before I’m done doing the decreases on this side of the neck/shoulder, and then it’s just straight pattern until I hit the right number of rows completed (275; I’m currently about to start row 237). It should be pretty… Read more »
