DIY padded laptop sleeve: Phase 1

Latest in my "I've never done this before but I can probably figure it out" series.

Believe it or not, my success rate is pretty high.

NGL It took me 3 hours (& several days) to get this right, but I did it.

Who says stubbornness isn't a virtue?

I am definitely going to have a crochet tricera-dragon ASAP.

My new oil dispensers arrives today & I am ecstatic 😁

Only 19 hours and 6 minutes until I get to use them for the first time!

Add a 12-hour jazz playlist running simultaneously with back-to-back episodes of Big Bang Theory, a bag of faux rawhide bones, and a couple egg cartons of fish cookies, and this is how we deal with Day 16 of Fireworks For No Frickin Reason in this house.

Every so often I have dreams with gila monsters in them.

Just some random gila monsters hanging out in the background.

There is zero reason for this.

Finally got the bed moved. Despite much agonising and complaining, Monster approves.

Looking for a bone is hard work. Had to take a break.

In an attempt to trim fat off the monthly budget, I went store brand OJ this week & now I'm starting my day with a radioactive orange liquid tasting vaguely like a flat Fanta that could outsweeten a bag of sugar.

& they wonder why poor people don't have healthier diets...

Turns out everyone knows the best place to stash valuables is between your mattresses.

(Yes, the hairy, muppet-looking thing is my dog's bed and the orange thing peeking out is a slug with edible spikes.)

I feel like someone should have cross-referenced this title before it went to print 🤔

First I broke the wing off one magpie then I lost the second in the span of a single lecture. Omen much?

New toy crate. Toys all cleared up. Very specific bone retrieved from crate. All good.

The Someone digs everything out of the crate again and settles down with the original bone.

And this is the look I get.

I would like more friends on @thestorygraph.com. It's better than GoodReads. And prettier. And more useful.

Apparently I read funny books about sad things, though. Be my friend? 🥹

Unexpected Law School Discovery: #Parliamentary debates calm autistic #Alsatian.

Better or worse than #Shrek 3 on loop?

Time will tell...

(Altho NGL arguments on why parents deserve #tax breaks for private school #tuition are a little 🙄)

Look at the cute dog instead.
