I read a lot. Sometimes I make things from yarn or thread, ink and graphite, or paint. Sometimes I teach. Sometimes I write. A lot of the time, I sleep.

Hooray.

My 200th book was Truth Telling by Michelle Good. Highly recommend, especially for Canadians who take their Indigenous anti-racism seriously. Be prepared to feel uncomfortable, and to sit with some seriously ugly truth.

This is what decision paralysis looks like when you're me.

(Sleep Token coincidental; Dangerous was just what was playing when I hit screen record.)

I'm gonna stay in my room reading and avoid the loud relatives coming to visit.

Lemme tell you, perimenopause, PMDD, AND ADHD your GP refuses to assess you for... Hellish combination.

Unless you've got four legs, fur, and a tail, leave me alone. It's not that hard, I promise.

I have not been taking care of myself the last few days.

Like had to force myself out of bed kind of thing. But I did. Even had food! And water!

But hey, I finished 3 books? Or was it 4.... Anyway, depression is a bitch!

Tomorrow I'm due for some serious fur therapy. (Aka cuddling with Lucy.)

Now that I'm done with Clapotis it's back to the never-ending shawl/wrap, pt 2: no pattern, just vibes & vintage horror movies. At least this one's worsted yarn!

Tonight: Friday the 13th Part 2, which had a considerate recap opening because I watched the first one last year & forgot most of it. 😆
A pile of nondescript, striped knitted fabric is in focus while out of focus behind it is a laptop with a movie paused. On the screen is a jacked up, black pick up truck parked in front of a shop of some kind.

Better living through pharmacology, every day. ✌🏻

A page from a dot grid notebook. All text is in black ink. The page is divided in two with a bright green broken line, and a thick solid line of the same colour highlights the title along the top. The title reads, "April 2025 book" with smaller writing next to it. The smaller writing has a # in a circle to the left of it and reads, "counts for OIRI". In the lower right corner, highlighted in red, are the letters DNF with 2 hashmarks next to them. There are 23 titles listed with author names and various star ratings from 2 to 5. The number 24 does not have a title next to it because I got within 10 pages of finishing the last book and fell asleep. The following numbers are circled, meaning they count toward my "Own it? Read it!" challenge: 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13.

Welp, that's enough internet for me today.
A cartoon meme in the "this is fine" dog style. It shows a wide-eyed, stern faced Trump sitting in a room that is on fire. Behind him in the corner is a flaming American flag. On the table in front of him is a cup of coffee. There is a caption below the image in all lowercase that reads, "this is fine".

After supper tea & a book might be a newly revived habit. I'm late to the S&S hype train, but my pre-order arrived while I was in Cape Breton. (Many books arrived while I was in Cape Breton.)

Tonight's tea is an orange & chocolate black blend.

I CAN EXPLAIN.

Actually, no, I can't but I'm also not sorry. I found it funny and saved it to share with a friend.

Ahhhh, the joys of being stabbed. Twice.* And not so much as a Band-Aid for my troubles, let alone what I was REALLY after: a lollipop! Rude, NS Health. So rude.

*Flu and COVID.

#GetYourJab #GetYourShot
A black plastic sandwich board on blue-grey industrial tile floor against an off-white wall. Text on the sign is blue against a white background. Text reads: welcome to the public health immunization clinic. Below is the same message in French: bienvenue à la clinique de vaccination de la santé publique. Around the text are colourful yellow, orange, and green circular stickers to indicate which vaccines are available: flu, enhanced flu, and COVID-19. Along the bottom in much smaller text: Nova Scotia health / public health mobile unit.

Embellished word, #Zentangle style. It's weird my first art post is Christmas-related. 😅 The students were talking about Christmas songs and stuff, let's blame it on that.

So hi, I'm also a #CZT (Certified Zentangle Teacher) and while I haven't made a dedicated account for that yet, I will later.
A postcard-sized sketchbook page. Centered on it in black ink is the word "noel" with flourishes and other, leaf-like and crescent-shaped embellishments. Around the edge of the page is a thin, single-line border with simple embellishments in three of the corners. The piece is shaded with graphite to create the illusion of depth between various layers of the embellished word.

Sorry, I can't go out to the pub for happy hour, I have plans...

...to take a hot bath with a good book and listen to the rain reaving out of the heavens. ✌🏻

In the background, highly out of focus, you can see the person is in a filled bathtub and part of their legs are visible from the knees down.

Currently reading: Kingdom of the Cursed by Kerri Maniscalco

I read a lot of smut, so this paranormal YA (probably more accurately New Adult) is a nice change of pace. Finished the first in the series yesterday because uninterrupted weekend reading is the shit.

This about sums it up. Yes, I own this. Haven't tried it on yet, but I will 100% alter it to be wearable if it's too small.
