Gah! There was someone recently who I talked to about these shoes that I thought they would be perfect for them. Can I remember who? Like hell can I!

Making eyeball deviled eggs for hubby’s Halloween work party today. I’m about to add the food coloring to the filling. Should I go for blue or green eyes?

Boss gave me the brush off for the remainder of the day for the drive back home. Have monitored my work email & nothing is on fire. Im not normally a slacker but I think I’m going to take advantage of this free time. 🤭 #RebelWithPermission 😆

This is not a joke, this is a real proposal! Surely, with all the surveillance and targeted ads being done in America, this is possible. And early voter turnout would SKYROCKET.

Today starts with a 2hr commute for work. That may be standard time for some folks but as a WFH person this makes for a long day. Suppose I’ll be cranking the tunes though. 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶 🤘😝🤘

Had a couple beers. Went outside and painted some cabinet doors. Chilled out all cool like. Came inside to give an honest to god shot at circular knitting needles. Watched two different instructional videos. Slowly even. NOPE! Still a fucking mystery. Still salty AF about it.

Fuck you DPNs. You win. Again. Time for a beer. 🍻 #knitting

Wish 24hr Walmart was still a thing. Could use this frustration to go power grocery shop while it’s quiet. I mean I’m awake might as well be useful.

I’m just going to have to accept knitting in the round whether on DPNs or circulars is a skill beyond my abilities. *sigh* It all ends in frustration, ladders, & overworked split yarn. 🧶 #ShitKnittersUnite

My friend passed away in Feb of ‘22 from Covid. Last night I discovered her husband has a FB official relationship. I don’t know what to do with the feelings about this. Obviously he deserves to have love & happiness again so I’m over the moon for him but I also know I miss my friend dearly. 😢💜

I follow the BEST looking folks on here. You’re all gorgeous!!! 😍

Really need to sort out my sleeping schedule. It’s quite ridiculous. Only manage 2-3hr bursts. I shouldn’t be raring to go at 1030pm when I just went to bed at 8pm. Same for when I wake up again at 2am & 5am. Feel dead tired when I do get up to clock in for work. This isn’t sustainable. 😵‍💫

I’ve tried all my tricks for shifting this mood but I’ve just been pissed off all day. - listened to soothing music - vented here to get it out somewhere - napped & cuddled with the dogs at lunch - took a calm down pill Still feel enraged. Am I the Hulk now? Am I a shade of green? WTF, man?

Dammit! Nails have been getting decently long. Enough that I also put in the effort to paint them & now one has ripped off short.

“Little Women” audiobook narrated by Samuel L. Jackson

Positives. Must look for positives to get out of this foul mood. - I’m crocheting again - I have a trip to Chicago planned to see my bestie in 2wks - I get to see one of our crochet club gals this week who has moved away -I get my autographed new book this week That’ll have to do for now. 🥰

Two coworkers in the same job as me have complained incessantly about a third party vendor. Vendor has finally asked for examples. Do you think I’ve heard a fucking peep from my coworkers? NOPE! I’ve asked 3 times. Do I tell our boss about it? Or tell them to shut it next time there’s an issue? 😡

If a weekly meeting is set for 9am then show up for the fucking meeting or message me that you’re canceling. The fact that I have nothing going on at the moment is beside the point. It’s about respecting the people you work with.

Today’s dream was having it out with my stepmom. Said all the things bothering me loud, publicly, & with lots of colorful language. So apparently that’s weighing heavier on me than I thought. Only in the dream she was 3ft tall & the bar I had the scream out with her in thought she was a child. 😬😆

I can’t knit a flat piece of fabric and yet I’ve just been shown someone who can knit in 3D & make a cube?! 😵‍💫 WITCHCRAFT!

Ringing in my ears is extra high pitched tonight. So that’s nice. Recently read it’s actually the sound of your internal body working if you want to believe that sort of thing. I think mine is related to too many concerts though.

Just want to lounge on the sofa under a dog pile in a pool of sunlight for the afternoon. But NooOOOooo. I have to take phone calls and work and shit.

Have confirmation my signed copy is in the mail! I’m so excited! 🤓📖

71 years ago, on the 20th of October 1955, the final volume of the Lord Of the Rings was published. It was titled ‘The Return of the King’ by publisher Rayner Unwin. Author J.R.R. Tolkien felt the title revealed too much of the story and preferred the title ‘The War of the Ring’. #otd #history 🗃️

Brain decided to do a bit of cougaring in my sleep. Dreamt I was to marry Harry Styles much to the absolute horror of his entire fan base since I’m an “older” woman. Harry didn’t care though. He was throwing it all away for me. But I called it off because I didn’t want to dance at our reception. 😳😆

745am & I’m already asking if it’s too early to crack a beer. Oooof!

Dawn after the rain

Now to get on with the baby blanket. 😁

All set up & ready to go. Why do I feel nervous when this is just for my 2 students? lol. Silly brain. #crochet 🎥🧶🍿

Weekend agenda: -film crochet popcorn tutorial for students - work on crochet baby blanket for friend -paint kitchen cabinets still left to do Absolutely HAVE to make some progress on that last item or husband may well kick my ass (justified). It’s been MONTHS of intentions to do them. 😬

As it’s supposed to get cool enough for our first frost warning, I bundled up when I went to bed. Extra snuggly pjs & doubled over the blanket. Have woken up absolutely roasting. lol. May have gone overboard in my excitement for the weather. 🥵

We’ve secretly replaced a sofa cushion with a load of pups. Let’s see if anyone notices. Seriously. These three’s favorite pastime is to raise hell & knock all the cushions hither & thither off the sofa. Today they’re sleeping in the shell. Crazy dogs. I ❤️ them with all my heart. 🐶🐶🐶

No! YOU’RE writing popcorn stitch instructions for your crochet class at 5am. I wouldn’t be doing that. That’s crazy time! 😂

Tired, worried, & left work with a pile still needing finished. Each one thing doesn’t relate to the others. But to have all three happening at once is mentally taxing. I’m going to be in bed by 6pm before this awful day catches up to me. That’s it. That’s the plan. Yep yep.

Well fuck. Waiting on a callback from the mechanic for an itemized list but as the estimate to repair my car is at $4000 I may have to be in the market for a “new” vehicle. She only gets driven 15miles a week tops & that’s too damned much money to keep fixing her every 6mos. I want to cry. 😭

Everything since re-waking up this morning feels like a fever dream. Struggling a bit on which bits are really real & which I dreamt.

It’s 330am. The house is as clean as it’s gonna get at this hour. Huge thanks to those who have listened & offered advice. Also thank you for the others with general silliness to make my heart feel lighter. I appreciate you all! ❤️❤️❤️ Time to get back to sleep. 🥱

Feeling quite distressed. Stepmom has lawyered up & is serving Mom with the divorce docs. Mom is not taking it well at all. The future feels very uncertain. I know they’re adults & it’s their issues but I can’t just stand by either. WTF do you do? How do you help? I’m 46 but 13 all over again. 😓

It's always fun to come across our game being talked about out in the wild ☺️ Thanks!

Need to be awake by 6 to get ready for the day. Up at 4am. Feels like a risk that I’ll oversleep if I try to nod back off but too much time to kill in just staying awake. I hate my nightly routine. 😩

I’ve got 4hrs of work to get done & 35 mins left in the day to do it. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
