Not knitting, not spinning, but playing Dragon Age on the Xbox. Although the spinning and knitting is slowly working its way back into my things to do. There’s only so many times I can play through Dragon Age, I suppose. I guess that number might be 5.
I did finally finish my Patchwork yarn earlier this [...]

I wasn’t going to go. I ended up somehow overspending and getting myself down way beyond what I’d budgeted for this first half of the month. I was also worried about what I was going to have to spend on the dentist, until finding out that I’m actually cavity-free and my mouth pain is the [...]

So, today’s the big moving day. We’re taking the bed, TV, my desk, and the bookshelf — all the big things — over to the house today. We’re renting a U-Haul, and hoping to fuck we can get all of this stuff down the stairs to the truck with no problems. We don’t have the [...]

I shouldn’t be too disappointed, [...]

I started this blog, and now I’ve been mostly silent. It’s not intentional. I do sometimes thing about how I should be blogging or working more on getting this site up and going and looking pretty.
