what a special fuckin day

definitely the highlight of the jack-o-lantern walk thing at the zoo

Don't think this qualifies as "limbs" but it was the first time in almost 4 yrs in my house that I had to do significant branch collection after a storm

haha holy shit I haven't thought about this guy in years, of course this unhinged racist shit is why I had to get fuckin jumpscared by his name

whyyy are brains the way they are

tell me why I had to write in the first down bow of a retake before my brain/hands could register the second down bow, and then once I did write it in I got it right immediately

(it's this one ... elite)

...and then a few hours later as I was wrapping up my visit, I took a swing through one last small-ish room with works by Jean McEwen, including a series of these watercolor diptychs. I'm still not entirely sure what it was about them, but I fucking wept. Stayed in that room for like half an hour.

fuck installing four sets of mechanical cello pegs in one afternoon, all my homies hate installing four sets of mechanical cello pegs in one afternoon

was it overkill to do the work to turn a bottle of grapefruit juice at 11.8 Brix (sugar content) into a 12 Brix solution? ...possibly. but I'm still new-ish to this and it's a nice little brain workout (arguably more than it should be 😅), so why not

she's True Baby but like with Anxiety

she's also a great baker (likes to knead and makes a perfect loaf)

oh guess it's time to post this here

I lived bitch

nice little before & after from work today. I figured once I got the top off it would probably realign okay, but my god, this is beyond expectation

fit check for the most dressed up I have ever or will ever get to go to work. it's our big fancy sales weekend so even though I'll just be in the shop and mostly clocked out I feel like I should still show willing. still gonna ruin it with casual shoes though lol

I made (like, literally) a new friend (for a friend's 18-month-old baby)

I was right! maybe. or it could have been a cracked fingerboard, unless heat-stripping it off reopened the previous crack I had no idea was there. or all of the above ! anyways, finally getting around to doing major work on my own violin, including fixing the terribly low projection. fun times ahead

let's fuckin go

finally made the smitten kitchen apple cider caramels and folks,, gotdamn

sometimes it's good to spend an hour or two on a friday reminding myself that the job is more than just august and september, and that I am actually kinda good at it
