I’ve been wheezing all morning and had to break out my inhaler. The air quality index is high today because of fireworks, apparently. Fireworks!

Easter is an important day for many people. For me, it’s a reminder that Watership Down was not a fun kid’s movie, Mom, no matter the animated fluffy bunnies on the front.

I took my longest walk yet yesterday. My knees hurt and I’m still nearly (nearly!) too tired to knit. Almost relieved the weather is too poor for another walk today. But I did have a lovely companion on part of my walk in the form of a neighbor dog named Oreo!

Spring is nearly here. It’s so beautiful. I can’t wait to spend time outside!

*sneezes uncontrollably for 10 minutes*

…Ah, right. I’m allergic to everything that blooms.

Guess it’s going to be another year of me, my books and yarn, and glorious air conditioning.

Current act of escapism. Glad to see this series getting more popular. Also managed to finish knitting a pair of socks. So far sticking to finishing two WIPs before casting on something new. Current WIP count: 14. #knitting #reading #dungeoncrawlercarl

Willfully ignoring the news for the moment and indulging in some escapism instead of worrying if I’m going to be in the next round of layoffs. The sock is the Pierre pattern by Stephen West (modded with a slip stitch heel). The book is Cue the Sun by Emily Nussbaum. #knitting #reading

I am reminded of Elizabeth Zimmerman’s words: “Knit on with confidence and hope through all crises.”

Just finished reading The White Book by Han Kang. “And she frequently forgot, That her body (all our bodies) is a house of sand. That it had shattered and is shattering still. Slipping stubbornly through fingers.”

My reason to enjoy walks on cold days. #knitting #oslohat
