Something I say whenever my little tree-shark emerges from underneath to attack my ankles. (Kaya loves hiding under the tree. She'd camouflage as a present if she could.)

Yep, yesterday had four wet, slushy inches that froze solid over the course of the day, and now my driveway has about one inch of rough ice on it. This weather system sucks. And you guys aren't very winter-hardened, either.

Had an actual uni prof try to do this to me by demanding I cold interpret an Emily Dickinson poem we hadn't been assigned, just because I disagreed about the one we had been. I think the "bitch, please" in my expression could have been read from Mars. "Educators" giving us all a bad name.

This year will be lace-or-textiles, and while I considered getting a lace shawl from a kick-ass knitter in Uzbekistan, in the end the call of silk and velvet is more than I can resist. It's going to be another JJ Collection scarf, for this year!
Gotta say, this is a good mental health practice.

This started kind of by accident, when I noticed that I'd gotten myself a bunch of new sheets, for my new, smaller bed for my second year on my own, and... just decided to keep going. Got a quality chopping knife for steel, a beautiful scarf for silk, etc.
