Kel the Crackferret

It was a gorgeous sunset tonight while I was driving home!!!

Spent yesterday doing a benefit for children with cancer and their families. A very sad set of circumstances that got us involved, but we raised a lot of money for charity, played a kid’s favorite songs, and had a really nice time. ❤️

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.

Let that sink in.

Pass it on.

Cats are gonna train me to poop with the door open. I can’t do anything without a cat now.

Cat Distribution System is working I see.

He won’t come up to me but he’s always setting off the ring cam

Next time someone calls me and it looks like mortgage spam, I’m going to tell them that this phone is involved in an investigation and what is their relationship to the deceased?

Just wanna hear what they say.

Cat not car omg wtf

Happy birthday!!! 🎉

Me and this car startled each other when I sat down to drum. 🤣

Are we also allowed to say “we fucking warned everyone this would happen and people told us we were overreacting”?

Yeah it’s a bummer. :( If it helps, I muted comicsands and it seems to have removed it from the feed. 👍 No more clicking the links, dealing with all the ads, then watching my battery drain until it’s as empty as my soul.

From ComicSands own page: “Comic Sands is an Oh Myyy property. Oh Myyy LLC is co-owned by George and Brad Takei (through Hosato Enterprises, Inc., a California corporation) and The Social Edge Network, Inc.”

So, another source probably won’t be used. :(

I finally got one too many random annoying pings at work and this one was “I hope your father in law’s health is better.”

I just messaged back “he passed away, how can I help you?”

I don’t know!

This is my one weekend of quiet sandwiched between father in law dying and my grandmother’s funeral. :(

I don’t want to go to sleeeeeep

We’re both totally good at boundaries and both like hanging out and then having our own space. So I’m making myself comfortable in the living room I spent most of my childhood in! ❤️

So the other neat thing about staying with My aunt is that it’s in the house that my grandparents lived in. I grew up here. So I’m right at home just curling in a corner anywhere and cracking out a project since my aunt went upstairs to listen to her audiobooks.

At my aunt’s house tonight. May just spend the next 2 nights here so I don’t have to drive so far. Work is 17 minutes away! That’s why this is my long term plan to keep working and deal with living 56 miles from work. I’m couch surfing 10 miles away. 🤣

And it’s a great chance to be feral ADHD. 👍

Side note, she was very fixated on getting a “fleece enema”. I started making drinking and smoking gestures at her roommate, who caught my drift and started laughing.

This shit is crazy.

Me clutching my crochet project while my mother in law says something crazy from 4 feet away.

Hard to do more than a skein but fun for a small batch. I keep meaning to go back and dye a skein one color, then ball it up and dye it again for a gradient, but I haven’t done it.

The kit was from Jimmy Beans but I’m sure that there are some on Etsy, too. It was very easy and beginner friendly.

I did one that came with several colors and it’s just done in a jar. Dump dye and yarn in a jar, pour in hot water, leave in the sun, agitate occasionally. It wasn’t very warm outside so it took a couple of days. I just kind of poked it until the dye looked absorbed.

I tried a kit once, it was a lot of fun. I don’t think I’ll do it a lot but I might try again when the weather is nice.

I can’t find a picture of when it was dry but this is generally what it was. I haven’t gotten around to doing anything with it but it was a fun experiment.

Your mom would definitely ruin my day.

I love this for you though. 💕

Aw thanks!! I did follow the pattern almost exactly (minus a couple of mistakes that no one but me will ever find) so I think it’s just the yarn, really. 🤣 I’m tempted to make a second one in another color!

Do it do it dooooiiiit
