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 🙄

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 outbreaks—I went and got it boostered.

A small cream-colored flame-point Siamese is rolled into a very round ball of floof, with his head on his tail and zero limbs evident

I missed Caturday but this was too sweet to pass up: SKRIMP cat #catsky

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 😅

A variegated blue yarn handknit into the beginnings of a cabled sweater, held by a white woman’s hand with shiny nail polish

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

My friend always sends me messages with photos of a fuckup and I say “even 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 Monday—when do you actually rest

A large plastic tub sits inside of a walk-in shower with a stone floor. Inside, a lot of blue-tinged water and soap suds and the hint of a blue sweater A small white cat with orange ears sits in a fuzzy hammock set against a window, looking out at the neighborhood A black and white pitbull and a grey pitbull stand on a grey wood floor, looking out of frame for their next snack. Each has a piece of carrot shaving on their back.

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 🧐

A deep intense blue yarn handknit into interlocking cables.

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 “Matisse Blue” I’m using for this Vendange cardigan. 🧶

A small cream-colored flame-point Siamese sits in a window bed/seat attached to a window. He has a very dumb look on his face as he is stoned out of his mind on catnip

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.

A small cream-colored flame point Siamese cat with blue eyes, wearing a striped handknit blue shawl, sits on top of a cabinet next to 2 foam mannequin heads. A very round, cream-colored flame point Siamese cat wearing a blue bandanna reclines in a white hammock bed. A black and white tuxedo cat with green eyes, very long white whiskers, and a Marilyn Monroe beauty mark on her left muzzle cheek, wearing a pink collar, sits on a desk and YELLS.

My favorite photos of my current three gremlins—Dobby, Sergeant Tibbs, and Baby Beef from left to right 💗💗

Personally I prefer my bisexuals barbecued and my pansexuals parboiled but it’s an individual taste

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
