That's not my name
@endoubleu.bsky.social
You probably know me for my bird illustrations and sewing stuff, and maybe dinner, but on this profile I'm just me, for the social side.
There's a business me too, if you know where to look.

When I was painting earlier, I was thinking to myself that my body has adapted well to only having one functioning lat dorsi muscle, but that I really could have used two of them right then as I twisted around under the shelves of my workbench.

My contralateral back muscles are so sore now. 😫

Guess who was really organised and hung their washing out on the line last night?

Guess who also just got woken by steady rain on the roof?

At the draping myself in my wet swimming towel so I don’t get sunburnt in the car.

40 minutes so far from McKenzie Baths to Railway Rd. I feel like the Melling Traffic improvements might just be in an Agile sprint that should have been a waterfall. (Especially in this weather.)

Can someone explain to me why I might possibly want LNG enough to pay for it through my power bill?

Some young guy on the street just tried to approach me on the street (I think to ask for money).

“Um hi, I couldn’t help noticing your/you’re [eyes casting about to find something to comment on, takes in my arm in its full compression sleeve and glove] pretty!”

Me: TY, my husband thinks so too.

I’m not a fan of things being passed under urgency, but I think I’d be ok if they wanted to do it for this Bill, all things considered.

I’m really bad at remembering my friends’ birthdays at the wrong time of day to be able to politely message them, but my high school bestie has gone to London for her 50th so now I look like the super-thoughtful friend who even remembered to account for timezones! 💅🏻

There were 201 years worth of birthdays in my family today.

Well I guess I’m not going to be annoyed any more that my GP practice doesn’t upload any docs to MMH, they just copy and paste the relevant text into lab results (and not for everything, I think it only happens if it’s easy, because I’ve got nothing in there from some specialists).

If nibling is the gender neutral term for your siblings offspring, what is the gender neutral term for you (the sibling of the parents of said offspring)?

So far I’ve spent the first day on holiday in bed, and have made the sensible decision that a solo road trip while R works from his mum’s home is not the best idea.

I thought I was finally getting my energy back into balance after catching Covid in July 2024.

(Days in bed Is how I balance.)

Wellington really is such a scenic city. Where else would you get an inner city suburb that looks like this?

If I can make the ADHD overwhelm that’s stopped me doing anything today, and can overcome it, right?

Why is this app asking for my age in AoNZ? The Bill has only just been announced.

All right, crafty folks.
I need everyone who sees this to keep a look out for the following shawls. They were lost by FedEx on the way to Barcelona Knits, and have been declared "unrecoverable".

Had my first publicly funded lymphoedema appointment today, after 5 1/2 years living with this condition.

Got absolutely soaked despite my tramping grade raincoat (thanks Wellington weather) but the good news is that new research since my initial diagnosis means I have updated self-care techniques.

It’s very busy at the blood test place today… I think every chair is full.

Nah. I can write off each year's crop of grass. Impossible to harvest as mowers are extinct.
