Ungovernable goose

Nope. Three different recipients.

A yellow velour scarf knitted in garter stitch at the top. A white super chunky scarf in garter stitch. A purple velour scarf in stocking stitches.

Three chunky scarfs on the go. Why not, right?

Pops seems to be the unifying kitty on the block.

At the risk of sounding dramatic, my life literally depends on this surgery happening. The amount of money I spend on pain medication; the side-effects of long-term opioid use; the negative impact on my mobility, affecting my self-esteem. I can’t go on like this much longer.

I had arthroscopy scheduled for end of August 2024. My hip has deteriorated so much that I was meant to have a total hip replacement in late September 2025. Because the medical aid refused to pay for any part of it, I had to postpone again. It has to happen this time. It just has to.

Another request to please consider donating to my surgery if you’re able to. This is the closest I’ve been to having it actually happen. I will proceed, whether I reach my target or not. I have no illusion about the amount of debt I’d be left with, but I don’t care. I’ll deal with it somehow.

Of course he is!

In three weeks’ time 🤞🏻 I’ll be in a hospital bed, probably knitting and listening to an audiobook. Pretty much like I am now, except I’m in my quiet little home all cosy under the duvet.

Except then I’ll be awake at 01:00. Best I try to stay amused for a bit longer.

Can I go to bed yet? Tiny bit bored. But also tired.

FML. There’s dumb, and then there’s this guy.

I haven’t made root poly in ages. I’m the family dessert person and it was one of my staples. Also chocolate mousse.

Gave my cousin a shirt that said “Kweenager” for her birthday.

Also, you should now wrap yourself in the blanket like it’s a cape.

Filth 🤭

Obviously 😉

I’m snuggled back in bed. It’s cool and overcast. A nice break from last week’s living on the surface of the sun. Great Sunday stuff.

Never watched it.

While in the checkout line I saw a guy look at his phone and smile. I want to be like that. But more.

I want to be the reason someone looks down at their phone and smile.

And then walk into a lamppost.

2026 - the year of denim dresses. I have four. Should probably not get any more…

Free feet on the internet! 🚨

I scored 45.5. Apparently that’s not too bad.

Very disappointed that no one has sent me Valentine’s yarn. Or even declared their crush on me.

Just tore the skin from a cuticle almost all the way to the first knuckle. Yeah. I’m a dumbass.

After a stupid muscle cramp on Thursday morning, I’ve increased my magnesium intake. Looks like it’s also curbed my appetite and cravings. It’s been easier to fast too.

Gonna watch the e Lucy Letby doccie.
I’m 16 books ahead of schedule, tired, and in pain.
At least everything’s much tidier now.

Good lordt my cuticles are in a state. And painful.

Goals

My aunt called me last night to ask if I can help her raise funds for an iPhone. Their technology is far superior to Android for those who are visually impaired.
At least it’s a much smaller goal than surgery.

I posted one on the alt…
