This post is not going to have any pictures because no one wants to see a picture of hives. It's not like my hives were in the shape of Mickey Mouse or a cute heart swirled into a mocha foam or a deity. They were just hives. Itchy painful insanity making hives. And I had … Continue reading and then I had hives…
the bobcat’s tale…
Sometimes I wonder if I'd be Snow White if I lived in the woods instead of the city… It may be part of the reason I don't like to go camping. My life, my entire life, has been filled with odd and remarkable animal encounters. Most of them not entirely positive. It started at young … Continue reading the bobcat’s tale…
oh that’s right, we don’t have a couch…
Years ago in the middle of a life upheaval I had to buy a new sofa, and quickly. I needed something that would fit into my new space. My new place was smaller than my old place so I needed something scaled down. But since it was only being used by a couple of adults … Continue reading oh that’s right, we don’t have a couch…
learning to knit: it takes a village and some wine…
I started this whole learning to knit frenzy in the midst of one of my most stressful times of the year, and really that's no coincidence. I needed something to do that would allow my mind to decompress while keeping my hands busy. Something I needed to focus on but didn't need to think much … Continue reading learning to knit: it takes a village and some wine…
learning to knit: I actually have size 8 needles now…
What on earth was I thinking when I decided to learn to knit?! I mean... I know what I was thinking. I was thinking I didn't want to clean my room and that I wanted a big chunky knitted charcoal throw for our bed. But let's get deeper. What was I thinking? How is this … Continue reading learning to knit: I actually have size 8 needles now…
learning to knit: and then Laura said…
It seems like maybe the last three times I tried to learn to knit I may have been going about this thing all wrong. Because in the past I was just totally annoyed and frustrated all on my own before throwing my hands up in the air and declaring with great authority that I just … Continue reading learning to knit: and then Laura said…
learning to knit: James says…
If you're anything like me I've already gotten Jane Says stuck in your head and you're having a full blown nostalgia throwback to your younger days. It shouldn't be too hard considering that everything I wore in the 90s is back with a vengeance. But let's shake that loose and get back to the point … Continue reading learning to knit: James says…
I just learned to knit…
Let me start off by saying that the title? That is a lie. An utter fabrication. If I were honest I would have titled this "I thought I just learned to knit and then realized I was utterly wrong and felt defeated..." Every decade or so I decide I want to learn to knit. I … Continue reading I just learned to knit…
anxiety’s secret agenda: whispers
Today was a day like many others. For some it could be considered downright ordinary. Routine. But not so much for me. I'm striving for a new normal. A new ordinary. A new routine. Routines are my friend. They help keep me grounded. They help keep me calm. They help keep my anxiety at bay … Continue reading anxiety’s secret agenda: whispers
one more day…
The past tree months have been a whirlwind. Do you remember when you were a kid how quickly summer vacation went? Sabbatical felt like that. Like it happened in no time at all. But it also feels like it's been ages since I sat down to work with my teammates both at Automattic and in … Continue reading one more day…
