Squishy local Rambouillet all spun up. You could call it Cdn Merino. 🥰 I have about 248 m to work with. I love working with local wool! #Wool #Knitting #YarnSpinning

Wrapping up my first season as head coach having wrapped my first season as a player. Yes I started backward. Rec is definitely another ball game. Plenty of learning and growth for all, including me.

I haven't had yogurt in a week at least - we're a yogurt and granola household- and there are at least 3 containers in this condition - not quite empty.
Kids! (I don't have to dirty a bowl today. Upside).

Had a good laugh at an advertisement for a pneumatic tube system for laundry. Ridiculous levels of privilege aside and the fact that getting laundry to the machine is rarely the biggest issue for most folks - I fixed the image.

Two games into the season for us. Two wins. My first opportunity to learn what these players can do. It's been a good week. #CoachLife -- is that a trash thing? Should be. I'll post and see.

Enjoying an extended weekend / short vacation with my BFF since middle-school and her beautiful family. Taught them Wyrmspan. Ran out of eggs today, but we had substitutes 😅

Things I do while sick in bed:
1) worry about all the work I have to catch up on
2) *listen to audiobook, fall asleep, scroll back 4 chapters* (repeat) would be more chapters if I didn't set the sleep timer

I recently made a FB post stating I am flabbergasted by the number of cdn folks I see laughing at / appalled by Trump - who proudly vote for Cons. I then outlined why I could never - by making clear my values for equality, for supporting science, etc. Long list.
