I am sick (like, sick enough to miss multiple days of work because I can barely walk) for the 4th time this year. The fact it’s only May is concerning.

Progress update. It was a little scary connecting the top to the right side. But it all lined up in the end.

Me: Tomorrow is *technically* our anniversary
Husband: it’s our actual anniversary. Nothing technical about it.
Me: just because it’s literally something doesn’t mean it isn’t also technically something. They’re not mutually exclusive.
Husband: *glares*
I’m technically right, the best kind.

Progress check. I didn’t stitch as much this week. But still chugging along.

This has been a very hard week for me. I have had little joy and a lot of crying.

If you’ve never “fried” a muffin in butter, you should. Blueberry is the best. But chocolate chip is good too.

Cut muffin in half, put it in a pan with a little butter until it gets crunchy bits. Then flip it over, add more butter, and squish it down a bit. More crispy bits. You’re welcome.

I’m trying to complete one whole page of the pattern. I can get most of one done before the adhd kicks in and I move on. This is my progress on that one page over the last few days.

Sweater weather! (She kept moving in the photo and when I asked her to please be still, this is her face of restraint to show off her winter gear)

Managed to get a lot done. Back to work tomorrow.

I’ve made a lot of progress. Look what you can do when you don’t have to go into work!

I thought the moon looked really cool tonight.

Nina gave me a late bloom. This is her only one this year.

A little progress. But we are starting to add new friends.

Every time I see a video of a surprised opossum angry hissing at a human I think, "Yeah, I get it."

I also think about the guy I asked to catch me an opossum and when he tried, he came running back shrieking, "I didn't know they hissed."

I’ve loved cross stitching since my first time picking it up, when I was about 8 and my nana showed me. It’s relaxing and a good way to channel fidget energy. This is my latest.

What happened to cocker spaniels? Do people still have them? I just realized I haven't seen one in a long time.
