Well, they are exactly right...for the next 5 days. 😂
To be fair, I almost never listen to Spotify. My total for the year was only about 200 minutes. I must have put on my 90s playlist one day while cleaning.

There's just nothing as lovely as sitting on your porch, watching the sky turn to fire as the daylight fades as a gentle autumnal breeze prickles your skin and sets your wind chimes tinkling. 🥰

New Ancestry update doesn't offer any surprises, other than narrowing my regional some more (and ID'ing a specific city!).
But good lord, I am truly the genetic equivalent of mayonnaise. Not a drop of coffee in my cream. If I made potato salad, I'd probably add raisins...😂

No, as best I can tell it's greenbrier, which is not toxic, and is actually medicinal. 🤷🏻♀️ I don't understand why I'm having this reaction - maybe there was something else on the thorn that got into the wound, or it's because I have eczema. It's sooo itchy. Woke me multiple times last night. 😩

Thanks, I hate it. 🥵
On the very small good side...I just mopped my floors and each room dried before I'd even finished the next one.

I'm making some progress on my top. The yarn still sucks to work with, but I'm loving the feel and drape of it.
I thought the rolled hem was cute in the original design pics, but in real life it's just annoying me. 😂 Once it's all done and I try it on, I may end up retrofitting a different hem.

Progress on the top I'm knitting. 🧶 The splitty yarn is annoying. I keep starting to knit between the strands, and there are lots of flaws I'm having to compensate for. 🤷🏻♀️ It is what it is.
Pattern is the Summer Slip Tee by Knitatude. P.I.T.A. yarn is Lion Brand Truboo in "mauve."

Seriously! It's not like I haven't seen one before or didn't know they could climb buildings, but I haven't seen any since I moved in, so I assumed the neighbor's cats kept them in check. Also, it was like it was trying to look in my window. So weird and creepy. 😂

Btw, if you have a lot of flies outdoors, I highly recommend these things. It smells absolutely horrid once you activate it - it's literally got rotten eggs in it - but it works. Just be sure you don't put it too close to your house or any outdoor space you use.

Bopping right along with the new WIP. I really love this colorway. 🥰 I have 2 more balls of this yarn available, so I can make it nice and big for snuggling.
Also, my new Bitter Southerner magazine arrived today. I just haven't started it yet because I've had a headache behind my eyeballs all day.

reason this last day I bounced around the yard, and ended up with several half-completed tasks. Now the yard taunts me. )
But I loved it bc damn, I was tired. Yard work Mon and Wed, housework Tues, and the shopping Thurs. My body needed the day off. Even my Fitbit told me I needed to take it easy!

Decided to make another toaster oven grilled cheese for a late lunch/early supper while I have power (bc who knows what the evening will bring). So yummy!

Perimenopause is going to be the death of me. 😩
I'm waiting on my groceries right now, but once they're delivered, I hope to have a couch nap. 🤞🏻

Wearing one while knitting the new one. I really do love this pattern, even if it is time consuming.

I definitely need to buy some plain colored yarn for these. I had to play with the photo settings to even get the words to show this well (which messed up the colors. It's actually shades of blue and green to match my kitchen).

Here's the official total from Lori's house!
I took a cane (to help me find the ground) and wandered around for about 10 minutes, enjoying it. A couple of atvs and a car passed. I think they thought I was crazy. 😂
Now that I'm in dry clothes and warmed back up, I think it's time for some soup.

I ventured out for a picture. It's not so bad, temperature wise. Just barely freezing and not windy at the time. But it is very, very snowy. Snow, snow, snow.
Sorry for so many snow posts, but this is the south. Any snow is rare. Snow like this is super rare.
