After the weird week we've had, this was just what I needed to balm my "too soft" and "too open" soul.

Small joys:
*Tiny dog is healthyπ₯°yearly vet check up says so.
*Knitting is back on track, despite a 2 week long ND related cognition storm.
I'm so thankful more designers are working with disabled folks these days.
(Do look up the hidden costs of low level needs nuerodivergent in AFAB folks.)
Such a scumbag! I hope that's ok to say. I'm not typically a name caller but geez, this guy needs to go.

Our trees have popped πΈπΈπΈπ₯Ήπ
A tip for getting good picture of these, find the lowest branch with the most blooms, stand directly in front of it and adjust camera as needed.
Before trying this, the pictures were not capturing the full beauty of these magnificent trees.
Ah! Pure delight π

Mutual Aid Post:
No Shower/wipes solution:
*Boiled water that has completely cooled, 1 quart/1 Liter
*2-3 drops of lavender or tea tree essential oil (omit but know this is a preservative)
*1/4 t (quarter teaspoon) of liquid Dr.Bronners.
Pour into plastic container and pair with Viva paper towels.
Oh yes! I'm glad the meaning of my post came through to others. The limited text here still bothers me.
The combo of needing hope and lack of physical oomph hit me hard this year so I just left the tree up.
Overall, it felt like the right choice for my family.

As we enter Hanami season where I live, I finally decided to take down our Christmas tree.
Clearly I am no traditionalist.
Life has been difficult and my family is directly and immediately affected by political issues.
For hope, I'll be watching local cherry blossoms.

These are the Dragon Fruit colourway and I will CO the Watermelon this weekend.

I'm not sure how I managed getting the best gift for my partner but I finally did it. Yaahoo!
What do you get for your nerdy best friend who has everything they need and wants for nothing?

P.S. buy it at holiday sales at bookstores.
Picture of Chemex coffee pour over, on top of folded floral cloth, with a brown paper filter and vessel is filled with hot coffee. It is forming condenced steam at the top of the vessel. Behind it is a blue plastic water bottle, an empty clear bottle and an animal cookies tin.
Chemex, my love.
This process is akin to meditative.
I love love love espresso (not an owner yet) and I adore our French Press.
Chemex is special and asks for a brief but focused moment of our day.
