Getting Better Every Day – and YOP Week 32
Many thanks to those who left comments last week. I was not in the headspace to respond, but I did read each one. I’ll share an update later, but my title hopefully gives you a clue. Here are my updates for the week. Stitched or Still-in-Progress As expected, I managed to finish my Advent wrap…
Stress, Conflict, Grief, and More and YOP Week 31
I’m feeling pretty raw this Monday, so please forgive me for getting a tad emotional. There was a lot of conflict in my house this week and we’re still not past all of it, but a tragedy yesterday at least provided a bridge to connect. I’ll get into that in a bit, but I’ll start…
Snowmaggedon and YOP Week 30
I don’t even know what happened last week… I took my #MarkItMonday photos and then I blinked and it was Thursday with life steamrolling into a busy weekend! The weekend wound up being not-quite-so-busy thanks to Winter Storm Fern, but I decided it would be silly to post last Monday’s update a day before the…
Struggles and Successes and YOP Week 28
Sigh – it’s been a long week, and I’ve struggled with sleep, waking up at 2AM on several days, unable to get back to sleep. Hopefully this week is better. At least I managed to accomplish a few things! Stitched or Still-in-Progress Last week I shared my New Year’s cast-on project, and that’s my primary…
Year-End Review and YOP Week 27 Updates
Here we are in 2026 – how did that happen? It really does feel like time has accelerated recently . In some ways that’s good, as I’m getting closer to retirement, and my grandson is growing up into a person I can communicate with. Since I had a decent amount of time off work (over…
Changes, Chaos, Christmas and YOP Week 26
It’s been three weeks since I last posted – and a tumultuous three weeks it has been! Mostly good, but very challenging. And being my last post of 2025, it’s sure to be a long one. Every time I thought to post in the past weeks, it’s felt overwhelming. Anyway, I’ll jump right in: Stitched…
Core Memories and YOP Week 23
This was a very long, grueling week, but I made it through and had some super-fun experiences in the mix. At work, we have a lot of activity as the year-end freeze (no IT changes between mid-December and early January), so I had evening work a couple nights, plus an early Saturday release. Everything seems…
Gratitude and YOP Week 22
I’ve got a variety of topics to touch on as we begin the last month of the calendar year! Let’s get started… Stitched or Still-in-Progress I remained somewhat focused this week, though as you’ll read later, my knitting time was limited throughout the week. And when I wasn’t busy, my knitting mojo was occasionally on…
Rivalry Week and YOP Week 21
It’s Thanksgiving Week, which is nice because it means I only work half the week in my day job. The holiday itself is generally low key, though I’m planning to earn some money via DoorDash on the day since I have no commitments. But the major highlight for me this week is The Game between…
Highs and Lows and YOP Week 20
I have some fun stuff to share this week, but it’s tempered by the head cold that hit me on Friday evening. Thankfully, my symptoms are generally manageable with sleep and medication. I had issues with a sore throat on Friday night, Saturday morning, and Sunday morning – meds and sleep made a big difference!…
