Me and my mom and our matching dimples 😍
Two lovely ladies, one older, one younger. Both wearing knit hats and looking cozy in sweaters.

Hot. Damn.

This last hurrah of summer may take me out. (That's celsius by the way.)
My local weather forecast, showing highs of 30-32°C all week long.

TA-DA!! That was really satisfying, actually. I love my job!
The untangled cords, neat-ish in a box.

Don't worry, boss.

I've been trained for this.

My new (to me) CR-V very nearly got hit by a downed phone line today!! Eeek! Toooo close! So many little things could have gone slightly differently and resulted in sadness, but they didn't! Phew.
A downed phone line over a parking lot. Half of a red SUV is visible on the left, next to the photographer. A black crossover is center of frame on the other side of the parking lot. A phone line runs from the top right of frame between the two cars, caught at the top of a chain link fence on the other side of the black crossover. Wood barriers are set up across the open parking lot under the line, between the bumpers of the two vehicles. A closer shot of the black crossover. The barriers are on the left, the photographer is standing to the right of where the previous photo was taken, showing the alley on the right side where the pole once stood. The line hangs only about two feet from the driver's door of the crossover. The pole can be seen behind the vehicle, balanced horizontally in the air by the tension of the wires and another section of the chain link fence.

Time change AND a snowfall warning in the same week?! Right as it was starting to feel like spring was just around the corner!?

I could cry.
A screenshot of the snowfall warning for my area. 15 to 25 cm of snow forecasted as it snows all day today and into tomorrow.

Had to make some hard decisions about when to put my senior dog down today. At the moment, I have a week and a half to finish loving on her before I say goodbye. It's the best joy and worst grief -- loving well.
My sweet old girl, Maggie, checking to see if I happen to have any snacks that I forgot to give her.

I know all of these words on their own, but together is a mystery to me :P My coworker reports that this makes me just a little guy. Google makes me think I'll be the reluctant but good-natured magic hobbit companion on this quest, and frankly, that's accurate.

Anyone else have something with their vehicles that just feels cursed? Mine's tires, which, all things considered, is not the -worst- vehicle curse option, but it sure is annoying. Anyway, today I learned about this doohickey, and now I have one on the portable air compressor that lives in my car :P
A little valve core tool being held in my fingertips. It's mostly a valve stem cap, but it has a little extra bit sticking out that can screw/unscrew the valve core. A blurry steering wheel is in the background.

EVERYBODY!! Look at this little illustration of me that my coworker made!!!! LOOK AT MY APRON!!
An illustration of me (a white woman with brown hair) wearing glasses, black shoes, grey pants, a light blue long-sleeve sweater, and a dark blue apron with pockets. My illustration is waving. An IRL picture of me at work. I'm trying to show my blue apron, but I'm terrible at selfies. Today I'm also wearing a purple shirt and a burgundy zipper hoodie, unzipped.

Starting to get sunrises on my drive to work again 😍
A sunrise over a residential street. There's deep snow on the lawns, but the driveways and road are plowed. The sky overhead is still the dark blue of night, but the horizon is starting to lighten up, turning the dark clouds above a rosy pink underneath.

And that's a wrap (ha!) on homemade Christmas presents for this year!!
The quilt piece from before, now in the center of a frame. Above and below text reads, "lay your peace like a blanket over me and as I lay down to sleep I will rest in you"

Time to finish the other gift I still have to finish. Y'all are doing a wonderful job at body doubling! Thank you!
Unassembled paper art piece on a grey folding table. Some pieces of navy cardstock and a larger cream cardstock behind an already finished multi-patterned paper inlayed piece that is supposed to look like a quilt. Hopefully it looks like a quilt.

IT'S DONE!! IT'S FUCKING DONE!!
A handmade crocheted blanket laying flat on a bed. Colorful chunky stripes in greys, teals, browns, yellow, and purple, with a light grey border and lattice effect over top. It's done!! The same blanket folded and in a sort of V shape to show off the colors. I'm not a good photographer, but the blanket is done and that made me feel artsy! Folded another way and kind of fanned out to show the colors, I guess? The bedspread underneath is blue and tan stripes and probably confusing the picture even more, but I don't even care because the blanket is done!!

Frost-covered bushed and grasses in deep snowin front of a brilliant blue sky. Power lines in the upper corner, and a "Warning: Gas Pipeline" sign on a orange post sticking out of the snow in the bottom left. Close up of some branches a frost covered willow tree in front of a bright blue sky with the whiskies of whispy clouds. Behind the tree can be seen a snow covered residential pond surrounded by frosty reeds and grasses. A small frosty tree in deep snow in front of a blue sky with only a few small clouds. A long stretch of snow behind the tree, then the same residential pond behind that, and some bits of homes behind that. More of the frosty pond in front of a blue sky. In the bottom left is just the top half of a dog standing on a paved path, and between the dog and the pond is deep snow with some skidoo trails on it. There are some skidoo marks on the frozen, snow covered pond, too. The tops of the bushes in the center of the frame still have frost on them, but the bottoms are already thawing out in the sun.

A frost covered tree and the sun shining through it with powerlines overhead. A frost covered bush against a power pole in front of a fence with a portion of a mobile home in the background. Frost covered grasses and a small bush/tree among some leaning fence posts with no fence attached in deep snow. There's a powerline on the left, a standing weathered wood fence behind with a cream shed and part of a dark grey house behind that. A wide horizon shot. Deep snow in the bottom third, blue sky with whispy clouds above that, the sun shining from the top right. Along the horizon line can be seen a frost covered ball diamond fencing on the other side of a road that separates the ground from the sky, a long line of frost covered trees in the far distance, and a small portion of a school on the middle right.

Walk the dog ✅️

Stop a million times to try to photograph the hoarfrost before it all melts ✅️
(more below)

Spend a bunch of time alt texting far too many photos ✅️

And now, back to the blanket!
A plowed winter walking path with frost covered trees lining either side in the distance. More frost covered bushes are on the left and the backs of residential sheds and fences are on the left. The sky is bright blue with hazy clouds. A dog walking on a plowed winter path, next to deep snow. Through the middle of the photo runs a long frost-covered chain link fence. Barely visible behind the fence is a gazebo and park surrounded by homes. Close up of a frost covered fence in deep snow. The frost is an inch thick.

The dog is requesting that the "walk the dog" portion of the to-do list happen now. I'll be back on the blanket in an hour!

Internet, I need you to body double for me, okay? I'm taking a break for breakfast and hopefully this motivates me back. First on the to-do list is the biggest task of the day: Finishing the border on the blanket for my sister for Christmas. I have gotten 1/3 done of what I have left to finish.
A crocheted blanket pooled in a lap and covering the photographer's legs and footstool. A ball of yarn is half visible in the middle of the blanket. The blanket is a multicolored stripe (grey, teal, blue, brown, orange, yellow, purple) with a lattice effect and border done in a very pale grey.

I get to snark -and- help him laugh through the agony of still having to work there. Two birds, one stone! I'm so proud of this one, I might have to frame it. The degree to which this manager falsely believes she knows everything about everything is truly unmatched.
Screenshot of a portion of a text reading "I put all the sizes on the cheat sheet that I made ffs how can she screw that up?? She's probably trying to prove that she doesn't even need the cheat sheet because she just 🌠knows it all🌠, right? That level of knowledge can't be taught, you know. She was just born with it. It's all instinct. A total bindery prodigy. Actually, an everything prodigy. Very rare.🤪🤪"

Mood.

New holiday treat unlocked!
A bottle of Fever Tree Ginger Beer and a 2L of Beatrice Extra Creamy Eggnog sitting on a white kitchen cabinet. A portion of a white shelf holding various plates and bowls is visible in the background.
