mostly roving, partly stars

Today:

• Samhain spin
• Study time
• Knitting (customers, gifts, shawl)
• Decide what to knit jams
• Source wheel repair kit
• Vacuum everything
• Shower?

 

Tomorrow:

• Quick & sneaky bathroom scrubbing
• Figure out dinner?
• Samhain spin
• Duplicate stitching
• Gift knitting
• Cuddle the girlfriend

 

Balancing cozy restorative time with being sufficiently productive so as to not screw over Later Me is hard :(

But I do have all my gift crafting plans in an itemized list, I have been given a smaller portion of the labor on the stockings order, I moved my Samhain spin to the wheel so I'll be faster with less hand strain, and I know I enjoy the study time when I actually get it started... I just have to do it.

Jams will be here asap tho, so in a bit it's just Hugs Time.

 

Please do it!

 

you give off big steven energy tbh

 

... it me

 

I'm starting to feel sick again, so now that I've discharged my civic duty, I'm tucked into my couch with:

• Cotton blanket
• Alpaca shawl
• Water
• Hot coffee
• Two knitting projects
• A spindle project
• Cough drops
• Chips
• Mini candy bar
• Fingerless gloves
• Steven universe episodes on my tv

 

which episodes?? :0

 

Since Kai and I just finished season five (we still haven't seen the movie) I'm starting over at the beginning again

 

You have the same energy as Rhapsody <3

 

Ok so ftr she just looked at me and deadass said "I'm not that magical though"

And I'm just
.
..
...
And eventually she got it and started laughing

(Because, like
It's A fucking plot point, it's such an integral part of that character's self concept)

Nailed it

 

Also @Acey kit 100% has Big Steven energy, you are correct

 

You are both killing me with the 100% accurate magical girl/boy who loves music and flowers and nonviolent problem solving answers to that question.

 

Okay so I know many people found Frank Turner's No Man's Land to be problematic, but some of those songs are fucking sweet jams, ok???

 

Me: tries to research journaling methods to help with mindful recording & self improvement
Me: gets bogged down in overwhelm & insecurity

I don't think this is working like it's supposed to.

(growth is slow. growth is slow. growth is slow.)

 

Tomorrow:

• Knit tasks
  • 1 inch sleeve
  • 1 letter duplicate stitch
  • 1 repeat scarf
  • Weigh cowl yarn & knit accordingly
  • Just go nuts on the baby blanket
• Spin tasks
  • Finish current nest of pearly polwarth
  • Wind off my Samhain single
• Religious tasks
  • Kindling
  • Prayer time
  • Reading notes
  • Website work
• Household tasks
  • Check chicken
  • Get celery?
  • Dustbust bedroom
• Social tasks
  • Make plans with Rose
  • Add Jams' boy on fb

 

I am not doing so great physically today, but I am trying to stay engaged and at least mentally active as much as I can. And I'll try to get some of my work done: most of the fiber and religious work should be doable in theory, depending on energy levels & if other stresses cause my hand issues to flare up.

I'm doing better at being patient with physical bad days, I think?

 

Also have done:

• brushing hair, brushing teeth, getting dressed
• eaten A Food
• caught up with messages
• (in progress) listening to some music I've been meaning to listen to
• (in progress) afternoon coffee and snack

Will not get to:

• celery
• dustbusting

 

hahaha my patience is over. when will my regular body be home from the wars. fuck this.

 

After all of that...

...which isn't too bad for a day of apocalyptic unwellness? And I'll probably get at least the duplicate stitching done before I sleep, and maybe reading notes &/or prayer time. I should really prioritize prayer time. I just didn't feel good enough for household and social stuff at all, really, other than to cancel plans for tomorrow bc if today is any marker I am completely not up for hosting someone I'm trying to make a good impression on.

I'm not going to get the blanket for my incoming nephew done in time for the shower. I'm going to get it done by the due date for sure, though, as long as I don't forget it. That does mean we need to get shower presents, but that might have to be a "go shopping locally on Fri or Sat morn" rather than ordering online through the registry, both for shipping and budget concerns.
