I did the math on my Storygraph goals, and I think I'm going to try to catch up for this year. I can absolutely read 38 400-pg books before the end of the year.

Right?

Well, I'm shutting down the sweater factory for the night. I didn't manage to accomplish #NaKniSweMo. 😮‍💨 However, I did get a good chunk done! Might take me a week or so from here because I have a busy week ahead of me.

Oh well! Also, this kid is bigger than I realized, apparently. Lol

Ah, yes. My favorite weather: fucking rain with a side of potential freezing overnight. 🥰*

Got a book in my head screaming to come out, but also need to knit this sweater and some toys.

Me: Whatcha doin?

Spouse: Trying to get the things I wanted to get done before next month in order.

Me: Tomorrow. You mean tomorrow.

Spouse: Listen. It sounded better the way I said it.

Highly recommend getting a spouse who you can text "feel like shit and that a cheeseburger might fix me," and they text you back with "I got you, baby girl. 10 mins, unless you want fries, too."

Why, yes. That sounds lovely. Now I don't have to stop working, too.

I love them so damn much.

Filtered my Storygraph reading recs by "not in my To-Read Pile" and it spit out books I've already read.

I mean, while that is accurate, it is also not quite what I want either.

Someone is big mad that it's cold at my desk today.

(Yes, I know she has pin feathers. She's cranky and won't let me get them.)

Me: I need to focus on reading and knitting today.

Also me: *starts researching Jewish and Islamic eschatology*

The book I'm reading brought up Richard Spencer. So, I have to bring back this old #hopecore classic.

Lots of knitting and research to do, and only 3 days to meet the arbitrary deadlines that I have put into place.

So, obviously, I'm procrastinating by drinking tea and reading the news while I tell myself I'm deciding what to do today.

Soul mates in the technological era has to be when you send your SO a bunch of links to videos before checking what they sent you, and it turns out over half are the same.

May as well share an account at this rate.

Sent this to the kid with the butter shirt.

They nodded their head sagely.
Hey…
If you’re cooking tomorrow…

You don’t have enough butter.

I know you got extra.
You don’t have enough butter.

I didn't use book flags in this read-through of the Bible. Now that I'm using them in this book, all feels right.

Quick question:

I've not been around welding in a long time, and forget if there's a noticeable smell. Can anyone remind me? I'm thinking of learning for a project I have in mind but I can't handle strong smells. I would hate to acquire everything to not be able to do it.

Y'all, look at this game that sounds fun that I found today. I might see if this yanks me out of my brain swamp today.

I love Cthulhu!

I made this for the kid who was supposed to end up in the NICU years ago. It was my riff on those little jellyfish everyone was making for NICU babies. The stuffing is hideous and lumpy by now, but they refuse to let me refill it.

Kid is asking me to cast on a sweater for them because they finally figured out what needles they need to meet gauge.

They're up 2 needle sizes while I use 1 down. This is ridiculous.
