I was a chemist, now I’m disabled & a full-time mom to a 17 year old. I spend way too much time watching reality tv, read a lot, & have an unhealthy relationship with hand-dyed yarn. I love knitting, cats, science, Bob’s Burgers, & the Oxford comma.She/her

Getting a blizzard in Northern Michigan tonight & tomorrow and I’m supposed to drive 3+ hours to see my mom’s surgeon in the morning. We’re hoping that we can do a virtual appointment or just see him the day before surgery because Mom is adamant about not going in the storm

My family had 5 doctor appointments last week, including 2 that were 90 minutes away. I think that I need a short coma to recover.

Took a 90 minute nap yesterday afternoon and was tired enough to fall asleep for the night around 10:30. I slept hard until the dog woke me at 12:30. Now I’m up and wide awake and debating between knitting and reading. I would really love to sleep more than a couple of consecutive hours.

Woke up at 2 and have been willing myself back to sleep since then. Been in so much pain tonight that I literally cried while just trying to roll over. Pain pill is working enough that I think I can get up without screaming now which is great because I’ve had to pee for the last hour.

Finally closing in on the end of this shawl (I added a couple of repeats to use up all of my yarn). Only 14 more rows of cables and 40 of ribbing! Also, watching the new LiLo Netflix Christmas movie. (Crescendo Shawl & Knit Picks Stroll Tweed in Lost Lake Heather) 🧶

Did too much yesterday; I woke up this morning and my back is seized. It was okay at 4 when I took the dog outside and eventually went to sleep, but now I can’t even get out of bed. Took a couple muscle relaxers and now just praying that it gets better because I’m gonna have to pee eventually.

Watching The Merry Gentleman tonight and John just asked me if Chad Michael Murray is attractive. So now I’m googling “is my husband blind?”

I’ve been awake for a couple of hours and was sure it was Saturday. Apparently it’s actually Friday, so I’ve got that going on this morning.

I’m so tired of not sleeping. 11:30 until shortly after 1 is not sustainable. Even took a Xanax to help me calm down but still barely sleep. Enjoying my books least. John went to sleep shortly after I woke up so I’ve been alone all night too.

I don’t have anything interesting to say tonight (do I ever?) but I’m here. Reading a great ARC (Tell Me What You Did by Carter Wilson, out Jan 15) and watching Bob’s Burgers. Started Somebody Somewhere last night and will watch more later if (when) I can’t sleep.

My local yarn 🧶 store is phasing out their chiaogoo and addi needles and going to just knitpro zings. I enjoy that they are color coded by size, but they aren’t as sharp as I’d like and the joins suck compared to my chiaogoo red lace needles. I really wanted to like them but they are 100% meh

I watched the Netflix Christmas movie with Pentatonix (it was fine) and started Everybody Everywhere after it was suggested by a bunch of people (so good!). Now I have Bob’s Burgers on for the millionth time and am diving into my book for a bit.

just talked my mom’s surgical nurse and the news was annoying. They’re scheduling normal cardiac surgeries out to February. since my mom’s is fairly urgent, there was a note on her file for scheduling to discuss it with the surgeon, but he’s on vacation this week, so I won’t know until next Monday.

I need a relatively easy heartwarming show to binge. I watch the same few things over & over because knowing what’s going to happen helps my anxiety, but I need something new to watch when I’m awake in the middle of the night. What is comforting & feel good, but might also occasionally make me cry?

I’m casting on vanilla socks to work on while I’m waiting at the hospital when my mom has surgery. No way I’m hauling either of my big projects and I don’t know how my lace socks will go. Now I need to pick out yarn and get it wound & ready. Luckily, I might have some sitting around here somewhere.

MSU football is making me sad, but as the Lions showed me last week, I shouldn’t give up on my teams early. Either way, I still have Spartan basketball to look forward to tonight!

Out for a quick breakfast with @nuclearranter.bsky.social after a doctor appointment, then off to go grocery shopping with my mom. Livin’ the dream, people, livin’ the dream.

Yesterday was Matt Gaetz and today RFK Jr, what kind of abomination will tomorrow bring? I’m guessing high school dropout Lauren Boebert for Secretary of Education.

My current knitting project is going really well, but I had extra yarn and decided to do some extra pattern repeats. It’s only 13000 extra stitches. NBD. Here’s a look at the beginning of it. Quite a bit bigger, but hard to get a picture of the whole thing. I’m going to love it, if I ever finish. 🧶
