This is a game-changer, especially while I'm home for a couple days by myself, with strict orders not to bear any weight whatsoever on my possibly broken foot. With crutches, you can't carry anything!
![My left foot, in an air cast up to the mid-calf, is resting on the pad of a knee scooter. Mostly visible on the side of the pad are the words "[Kn]ee Rover." My cluttered coffee table is in the background.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uwgburxxnejkgtinaeg2ylnr/bafkreihe5mcalm7ifrb2ss5qz6ukbeskazdtnm6oh4ikertlya4ygwp5zm@jpeg)

So, once more I'm home from our summer holiday a few days before the rest of my family. This time because I may have broken my foot 🙄 Hopefully a CT is in my near future to confirm or deny. I left rural BC in an air cast, with crutches. And my god are crutches the absolute worst. So...

Never not dramatic, I guess, now we're back to: Did I actually break my foot? CT will tell, hopefully within a few days. For now, we're all laughing at how dreadfully ungraceful I am 🦶

This is the manic look of a publisher whose startup press's 5th book is a @theglobeandmail.com bestseller on the holiday weekend, and who just bought 6 copies of the paper and who can't stop smiling. Congratulations, @longwayhomestead.bsky.social!!!

Last year my kid was on a truly magical baseball team that won the Western Canadian championship for their division, and last night they were featured at a @vancanadians.bsky.social game on a night celebrating the league they play in. It was the best kind of reunion and my heart is full ❤️⚾️🌅

On a day that started with errands followed by a teen baseball double header, I managed to spend a few minutes at @bookwarehouse.bsky.social on Main for Indie Bookstore Day, and it was glorious. I scored a mystery book and I'm excited to read it! #cibd2025

Waited in line for an hour to vote at the Dunbar Community Centre, where 1200 people have already voted today. Poll worker said for the last by-election maybe twenty people had voted by this time of day. Way to exercise democracy, Vancouver! #VancouverElection

Today I will work on 2nd round edits of @longwayhomestead.bsky.social's book about the supply chain of Canadian wool, speak on the record with an old friend writing for a US-based trade publication about tariffs, and contemplate the timing of having bought a used car yesterday of all days 🤨

We are deep into an unsettling stretch of sunny days for Vancouver in January. But I will pause my climate angst to say this: Two years ago I hauled a literal ton of books to my house from our local printer in wet snow. Last year a pallet of books arrived in the pouring rain. Today is much easier.

It's a Bestie Bag. It's still got thread bits stuck to it all over the place. The purple is old curtains. The zipper is red because I already had it. It's fully lined, with slip pockets. It's outrageous. I love it.

Last baseball tournament of the season, and my baseball shawl has been finished for weeks (there's been SO MUCH baseball).
Pattern: Seraphina's Shawl
Yarn: Noro, but I can't remember which.

I will begin here by sharing my weaving, because this is how I want it to be.
