If only more people would subscribe to such a simple, useful life plan.

It’s not anyone’s business if someone else does like and wants to do it and it doesn’t change your life if they do!

I don’t like horror. I don’t read or watch it. My husband loves it. He watches & plays it. We are both fine!

That’s diabolical. On their part anyway. On yours it simply seems appropriate.

Probably similar to living with a couple of silly dogs that lick everything in the dishwasher. It’s called a pre-rinse, duh πŸ™„

Considering that measles is now in 15 states and my titers are nonexistent despite multiple vaccinations over the past 10 years, and I live in the tri-state area where all three states are having outbreaksβ€”I went and got it boostered.

I don’t know ANYONE undocumented. If someone I knew was undocumented, no they’re not.

Thank you! I also realized my cat chewed off the end of the yarn 🫠 but luckily he didn’t eat any of it so I’m not concerned about him, and it was easy enough to pick it back up an inch after the drool πŸ˜…

I love getting into a knitting groove and then dripping a stitch and not noticing till 30 min later and fucking up the pickup so badly I have to rip out 5 rounds of 300 stitches each to get back to a point where I can restart
β€œKnitting is so relaxing” 🧢

My friend always sends me messages with photos of a fuckup and I say β€œeven though no one else will ever notice, it will always bother YOU. So do whatever it takes to make you more likely to use/wear it.”

(Inevitably she rips out half the work and redoes because she already knew that was the answer)

3 day weekend every week would at least give you one day of rest. Saturday is for doing laundry and cleaning, Sunday is for getting ready for the terribleness of Mondayβ€”when do you actually rest

What did I do today?
1. My job, which now that I work from home leaves me so much extra time that I was able to
2. Soak and block my new sweater (photos on 🧢sky when it’s done)
3. Watch my cat enjoy the sunshine
4. Make soup for dinner (and feed the dogs the leavings 🀣🀣)

Is there really nowhere more comfortable to take a nap? Say, *any* of the 15 or so beds and pillows and cubbies I have provided for you, rather than my goddamn keyboard 🧐

The color is still a little off despite some filtering but this is as close as I could get to the really intense blue of the Malabrigo Rios β€œMatisse Blue” I’m using for this Vendange cardigan. 🧢

Today’s wins:

- cleaned the bathroom
- made a fantastic beef stew
- knitted a whole bunch on my current project
- built a cat bed shelf thing they *adore*

Today’s not-so-wins:
- spent too much time reading terrible shit online
- did not clean my office

I will endeavor to fix those tomorrow.

I do that all the time! I used to knit in lectures during nursing school and now I knit while reading or watching tv. To be fair, I’m not doing complicated lace or colorwork; those I have to really concentrate on.

You probably could do it with enough practice, it’s not that bad!

A wedding photo showing a grinning, bearded, dark-haired white man in a black suit, red tie, and white yarmulke on the right, placing a ring on the finger of his bride, a dark-haired white woman smiling under her veil. She wears a hand-knit white lace shawl that covers her from neck to hip, including her arms.

Viewed from above, a triangular white lace shawl spread out on a full-sized bed. It takes up the entire space from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, with a wingspan of over 85 inches (over 7 feet)

This is so beautiful!

I knit my sister a shawl to wear under her chuppah as her dress was sleeveless; it was big enough that it could have been a chuppah itself lol

This gives me the sad hahas Seth. Like Ralphie but sad. I think we’re going to miss out on a lot of important vaccines and other learning and innovation the next 4 years.

Not in the hip but in the shoulders for similar muscle issues. Not terrible but not something I would do recreationally 🫠
I hope it goes easy for you and works well!

I set up my work week so that I work a full day Monday (get it out of the way) short day Tuesday and OFF on hump day! Then 2 more full days so I don’t have to work weekends. Never more than 2 days in a row and a golden weekend *every* weekend is amazing for medicine
