A New Low

Peanut m&m's: it's what's for dinner.

More Finished Objects

If I were a patient on a pediatric oncology ward, I'm not sure either of these pillowcases would cheer me up much!

The red and blue cases are perhaps more suitable for children, though the plaid fabric is a bit odd--kind of a lightweight duck cloth. It must have been stored for a long time, because it smells a bit musty, even after laundering.











Needless to say, the only fabric I chose for the above items was the blue bits. I plan to make two more cases, however, from slightly cheerier fabric.

Middle of the Night Question

Why am I so unenergetic even in sleeplessness? I'm just insomniac enough to play with the phone or toss and turn in bed, but not insomniac enough to do something productive, like fold the laundry or wash some dishes.

It Can be Done

I actually finished a knitting project, perhaps the second or third in my entire life!

First World Problem

I, who rarely go to the movies, now want to see two movies that will be gone by Friday, and my week was just complicated when I offered to give someone rides to work in the evenings.

Age Old Question

Do I stay up and clean, or plan to get up early in the morning instead?

A Quote

If you overturn a very large, very wet stone you are going to find a lot of slugs underneath,  plus a few creeping things with too many legs that you weren't prepared for.

Holiday's End

Only among true friends can I admit that I've basically been on holiday since Dec 23, even though I went back to work Jan 2.

Today, I played the "female complaint" card at lunch time (just an unnamed malady to my coworkers) and spent the rest of the day in bed with a hot pad.

Fortunately, I was well enough to read a book start to finish while I was at it. Since reading in bed all day is my true ambition for any holiday, I suppose I will now be brave and declare the hols officially over. Better late than never, right?

Plain as the Nose...

I've been missing my work nametag for a couple of months. Admittedly, I never searched for it with much diligence.

Today, I realized it was actually in its designated spot all along. How on earth did I not see it?!

Overkill

Pharmaceuticals, essential oils, electric blanket, noise machine--I'm determined to SLEEP tonight.
