Last month I had myself a good old fashioned melt down and wound up in front of a doctor. Turns out that pushing all my complex emotions down into a dark seething pit of angst and resentment is not exactly the healthiest way of dealing with anxiety. Go figure. Through some act of synchronicity I [...]

The two skeins on the left are from the same colorway as the one on the right. Superstition from FiberOptic. I just finished the two on the left (the one on the right is from before.) The new skeins are sock weight, and Navajo plied to keep the colors in solid blocks. I am also [...]

I really did. I quit smoking. I quit smoking and the universe did not implode. I didn’t really mean to quit smoking this time around, I bought an electronic cigarette– tried it, liked it, tried an “analog” smoke at the end of the day and decided that combusting tobacco products are so back then. Which [...]

I hate being sick. Physical symptoms of the flu aside, I get this antsy feeling because I’m not doing anything other than taking periodic swigs of cough syrup and popping ibuprofin along with minimal housekeeping duties. I know myself well enough to know that I am not in the right state of mind to start [...]

I braved our garage sale through the weekend. Its amazing the kind of stuff that accumulates in a small house over the course of a year. Even more amazing; people are actually willing to take stuff from my home, and put it into their own homes where it’ll probably sit for a year or two [...]

This is the two ton elephant that I normally would pretend to ignore. I’m going to talk to the elephant. Here, right now. Every so often someone leaves a nasty comment for me, using a fake name, and a fake email address. The syntax and grammar are bad, the punctuation hideous. This person does know [...]

Just outside of Salem Oregon is one of the great wonders of the Pacific Northwest. It’s called the Enchanted Forest. This is not just an amusement park. There are rides, but the main attractions are fairytale and western themed walk throughs, mazes, tunnels, and slides and tons to see so the kids actually end up [...]

I ordered some custom stitch markers from Opal and she surprised me with a whole box of goodies along with the markers. But first– the markers. Lets just linger here for a moment to let the glory that is handmade goodness sink in. Just breath. Relax. Try not to covet. It feels like warm sweet [...]

Adsense ads are gone. I’m done with them until the kids at Google realize they are breaking that whole not being evil thing into little tiny bits of irony and cold harsh reality. This is the latest Google Adsense notice. Its one thing to look at my blog and say “Oh hey, there are references [...]

I am off the caffeine free tea for the moment and back onto the coffee. I have a serious love for the coffee. Lets remember this in case of future mind controlling alien invasions. Bad parasitic aliens may take temporary control of a human’s nervous system and use them as a pawn in all sorts [...]
