Planning to carve out time to work on uncomfortable stuff this weekend; end of life planning. Not that I assume my end is nigh, but if a safe fell on me, like one of the characters from my 1960s Saturday cartoons, my wife wouldn't even know where my insurance papers are.

Bro. Bro. Listen! Bro, shit is turning, bro, turning in the widening gyre, man.
The falcon, dude, cannot hear the fuckin falconer, I swear it's true bro,
Things fall apart man; the centre? The center cannot fuckin hold bro, not even a little bit
It's just anarchy, bro, loosed upon the world, man

I wonder what it is about the change of seasons. Each year around October or November I suddenly need to knit a pair of socks or gloves. I made gloves recently, so socks it is.

Time to stash dive...

Today I'm hoping to make two batches of soap, a 4-Oils/2-Butters soap with a 'Crisp Cotton' fragrance oil, and a variation on a traditional soap, with 72% almond oil and the rest an even split of coconut oil and palm oil. I'll post photos later.

I've accumulated several invite codes. If you know journalists who'd like to get on here and need one, let me know.

1st post: I'm a new #ColdProcess #SoapMaker who is learning to make #soap to eventually sell, to support me in my upcoming retirement from managing corporate intranets. I have a ton of hobbies, most of which I have no time or energy for (at the moment).
