Not even finished with my Doppio yet and I'm already contemplating adding some embroidery to it. Part of me wants to leave it plain so it can be more versatile and the other part of me is like "girl, you don't *do* plain."

I've been knitting a Doppio sweater lately, and I thought I couldn't possibly need it this late into spring. Considering this week's forecast is cold and rainy, I might need to haul ass and finish it so I can wear it

Tomorrow would've been my dad's birthday. We're all getting together to celebrate, and the cake I made looks like shit. It feels like an apt metaphor for grief. You think you're doing well, but suddenly it's all lopsided, the insides are leaking out, and you're hoping sprinkles will cover the mess.

You know you're ready for the weekend when you get hit with the double whammy of work dream and recurring sorta nightmare of having to go to a math class you don't remember taking and can't find on campus

Man, I love not being at work. I don't want this godawful administration to eliminate my job, but I like not being there. I'm making sourdough, working on my WIP, stressing about the collapse of democracy and the erosion of our Constitutional rights, gardening...

I have been a teacher at a Head Start program for the last fifteen years. The work we do absolutely makes a difference in the lives of the children and families we support who couldn't otherwise afford daycare. Eliminating Head Start would literally take food out of the mouths of babies.

It would be so cool of me if I consistently remembered to carry my non-working yarn up the sides of my WIP

Knitting world is wild because you could tell non-knitters "people are knitting emotional support chickens right now" and it sounds like a joke BUT IT'S NOT, IT'S A REAL THING

Dreamed I tried to go to a store I've dreamt about before and found it had gone out of business. Times are tough even for imaginary businesses I guess

I hate how often I am humbled by my swift. Every time I'm like, "Oh, I'll just wind up this yarn real quick," it ends up turning into the Twelve Labors of Hercules

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Whether you are out or not, just questioning, or somewhere in-between, you are valid and matter. Gender is a wonderful diverse spectrum and being ourselves makes the world a better brighter place. Support trans people on #TDOV and always. 🏳️‍⚧️

It's Spirit Week at work and today is Mismatched Day and it is causing me emotional damage. This outfit feels like a hate crime and I only have myself to blame

Absolutely unfair that as soon as I started sleeping better with the CPAP I had to go quarantine in the spare bedroom/craft room because B got Covid and now I'm sleeping like shit again. (He's okay, we're both fully vaxxed/boosted and he's on Paxlovid)

It's pouring out and I had to wake up in the middle of the night to fix my mask, therefore I should be allowed to stay home and do crafts today

Did you know that eldest daughter/gifted kid perfectionist syndrome applies to trying to get a good grade in CPAP? Because I am finding this out firsthand!
