I've kept a list of all the things I thought "oooh I could buy that" since December and I just totaled it up. It's a little under $1200. Can't decide if I feel more "Wow! I've saved $1200 on pointless things" or "...god I'm a cheap-ass bitch, I could get myself SO MUCH STUFF for relatively cheap."

DEEP into Greek mythology and then straight into 80s fantasy and sci-fi novels. No, not as a teen. As a child. L'il me brought Mercedes Lackey and Xanth and Robert Asprin to the playground to read by myself, as I do not care for Games or Outdoors.

Hey fuck you Apple for auto turning on “Apple intelligence” on my iPad. I will find a way to turn this off EVERY TIME no matter how hard you try to hide it.

Genuinely on tenterhooks reading this book about the Brooklyn bridge, wondering if they will replace the head engineer who designed and built it and became horribly ill doing so with only months left before it’s finished. Courtroom drama!!!

through painful trial and error I have learned that I can't be trusted to count rows when knitting. I don't have the right size row counter I usually use, so for what I'm knitting now I'm just putting a removable stitch marker at the start of every odd-numbered row.

One of my hand knits (the Brooklyn Raglan, which I loooove) blocked out ludicrously too big so one of my weekend projects was to shrink it on purpose. Soaked it in hot water and threw it in a dryer in a laundry bag for 15 minutes and it fits great and didn’t felt! (Which /felt/ great 🥁🛎️)

I grew up with Third Rock from the Sun so I love John Lithgow but I do also always assume he’s a bad guy in every movie

sometimes my cat is like "okay you are done knitting. both your hands are for petting me right now" and you simply can't argue with 15 pounds of determined cat.
