Totally Tubular

      No Comments on Totally Tubular

Har har har, I slay me with my terrible jokes. But the tubety leg part of sock the second is almost done, which is most pleasing. I knocked out about a third of it last night at Stitch ‘n Bitch, and am most of the way through the third third of that part. I’ve got about three rows, and then… Read more »

Testing a Theory

      No Comments on Testing a Theory

With it being the school holidays, Z is once again trying his luck in getting Littlerbit to sleep in her own bed. He’s been herding them up to bed early and reading them several stories as a cooldown period. I have, for the most part, sat side-saddle for it because I wanted to show solidarity. Today… feh. Today I feel… Read more »

Dillhole

Today, I encountered my first Shiny Pokémon of Generation VII. Unfortunately, it’s a freaking normal-type looooooser with limited potential. I complained about it on Instagram and actually got a reasonable trade offer… but I turned it down. Even if Dillhole is a dillhole, he’s my first shiny of the generation, and I’m not going to let go of him. I… Read more »

Sock Yawn

      No Comments on Sock Yawn

It’s the alternate Thursday, so it was Pins & Needles time. There were only five us at the group today, which worked out in one aspect — it meant I had more than enough stitch markers to gift. They were well received, and even more so when they twigged that they were handmade by me. Hee. *digs toe into dirt,… Read more »

Rawrsday

Smallhausen decided that the window in the stairwell needed a dinosaur yesterday. I commend her choice, as it makes me smile every time I go past. After all, what enhances a household better than a randomly stationed dinosaur? Very little, I’d say. Today has been better, insomuch that the headache was managed with meds, instead of being so bad that… 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

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 »

What Is This Even

      No Comments on What Is This Even

One thing that is great about ordering a curry is that we have to order two night’s worth to actually get anyone to deliver to us out here in the ‘boonies’. I ate well here on day two, probably a bit more than I should have. But that doesn’t explain why I’ve been slammed by a huge wave of dizzy…. Read more »

Werk It

      No Comments on Werk It

Today has been a good day in the work sense. Littlerbit was cooperative in getting down for a nap, I got my writing done, and I got lots of work done. I ended up working fairly late all told, but I didn’t mind. I want very much to get as caught up as possible by the end of this week,… Read more »

Easily Pleased

      No Comments on Easily Pleased

She isn’t the only one that is easily pleased, ha ha. Her specific reason for being pleased here though was that she had gone upstairs and dragged her duvet down. She brings her father’s bathrobe every night for him to cuddle up on while they’re hanging out on the couch, so I shouldn’t be surprised that she chose to up… Read more »
