Set-up rows for social knitting during Thanksgiving with my brother's in-laws: DONE. There will be cables, if you couldn't tell from all the stitch-markers. 😂

Got my first tattoo at this place c 1999. They had 'Seven' playing on VHS in the background. Now it's a coffee shop full of people who've probably never heard of VHS. Bless.

Can re-confirm my ADHD brain is great in a (mild) crisis - just got hit while parked at a truck stop out of state, and my mother is 1000% more stressed than I am. Claim filed, car drivable, hotel checked into as planned, we are fine.

My mom and me, see, we've been watching sheepherding dog trials in Hailey Idaho, as one does. Tomorrow there is a sheep parade. She hates selfies. It is all delightful. 🐑 #Momcation2025

I wore a wee cross necklace today for the first time... Uh, ever? It was very comforting, as intended. And it's an Anglican cross, so hopefully the old-timey look will ward off any evangelical attention. I get enough of that just because I only wear skirts.
