Dangerous news: turns out that HEB just puts out seasonal sewing kits, including this mini version.
Not sure why they keep filling them with butter cookies, but that's easy enough to fix.

Went through my closet this morning and it turns out I have a LOT more clothes to donate than I expected.
Fingers crossed I can find someplace better than Goodwill to donate them.

Hey, guess who decided to make things up with yarn again?
This is a mosaic knitted sock cuff worked out from some photos of a shawl someone posted online. I haven't figured out what the rest of the sock will look like yet.

First of all, how dare you, etc...
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

In better news, I was informed today that I have now donated over 5 gallons (20 L) of blood/platelets/etc, which is a worrying amount when you think of it in terms of pails.
But I got a mug that is 100% lying about the coffee part, so there's that.

There is so much queso on this "Taco Salad" that it would more accurately be described as taco soup with some lettuce in it.

When you can't remember if you're supposed to use Greek or Latin roots when naming your hydrates, and choose to give up instead.

I am getting podcast ads for both Jim Adler, the Texas Hammer, and Bill Adler, the Texas Hammer (who sounds like a discount knock-off of the former), and shouldn't that make them each A Texas Hammer instead of THE Texas Hammer?

The various airways in my body are creaking and crackling and groaning as I breathe, like an old wooden ship.
The problem with being ill (besides, you know, the illness) is that I am an insufferably whiny baby when I'm sick, with no patience and no attention span.
So I can't even craft or watch a movie without wandering off to do nothing every 5 minutes.

*moves the "Days Since Chem Has Had an Illness* counter back to zero, with a sad trombone noise and a gurgling wheeze.
It's been a good run since Dec 2022. Guess I didn't drink enough fancy cocktails on vacation to disinfect myself. :/
