TOMORROW IS THE WINTER SOLSTICE AND Y'ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. It is time for the women (defined broadly) to hunt the Year King through the woods and tear him apart with their bare hands!

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

“Tomorrow,” said Toad.
“Your windows need scrubbing,” said Frog. “Your plants need watering.”
“Tomorrow!” cried Toad. “I will do it all tomorrow!”

I have to have a CT scan of my sinuses tomorrow and it's an entirely new medical experience for me. How exciting. I gotta take out my earrings, might not be able to get them back in.

Tomorrow is another day without school, this time due to the temperatures at the time the kids would be standing at bus stops. It rarely gets quite this cold and way too many kids just don't have proper winter gear. Heck my own kid doesn't have snow boots that fit (they are on their way).

Made some veggie enchiladas. The filling is summer squash past its prime, rinsed black beans, and bell pepper also slightly past prime. Oh and cheese. I layer it like lasagna because I'm terrible at rolling them.

Since I seem to be permanently cat trapped today I am alternating between knitting and sewing with the idea I will not overtax my hands with either.

The hardest part of knitting socks one at a time is not letting myself get distracted between the first and the second so I made sure to cast on the second sock as soon as I finished the toe of the first. #knitsky

I very much enjoyed Snake Eater by @tkingfisher.com and it is making me question whether I am brave enough to attempt any more of her scary books. The answer is probably no.
