omg I despise working on the weekend but my chapter is hanging together! Somewhat! I am working on it due to travel and also bc I am going to a grad's party today where she is hosting an open mic. Would love feedback on it from my writing community.

It's #showmeyourknits 2nd birthday, and a it's so nice I made it twice theme! 💕🧶 The first photo has 3 of my all time favourite knits, I've knitted these at least 3 times each and the second one is my favourite designer and three pair of mitts that I've knitted twice! Patterns in comments ☺️

A photo collage of 6 hand knitted items, featuring two versions of each pattern. There are two poet shawls, a small lace and moss stitch shawl pattern, one in bright yellow, the other in a beautiful turquoise. Two geometric gradient cowls, one a blue, green, yellow, orange and brown mix, the other different shades of pink and purple. Lastly there are two floral colourwork hats, one is blue and white and the other is navy with coral and gold flowers.A photo collage of six pairs of hand knitted mitts. All Erica Heusser designs. There are two pairs of dandelion mitts, one black, gray and yellow and the other turquiose, yellow and a pale peach colour. There are two pairs of underwing moth mitts, a pink pair and a navy and chartreuse pair. And finally two pairs of owl mitts, a short navy and white pair and a longer black and gray pair with a neon pink band at the bottom

I'm at the park, reading, and a woman with an accent said to me, "Oh, you're a reading worm". I love that construction. It's so poetic when second-language folks speak. I did not correct her because reading worm is better than bookworm.

pleased that my Superman-ability to "see"/pinch out exactly $25, 50, 100 dollar bills at a time from my bartender/head waiter days 25 years ago has infiltrated my ability to pinch out the correct # of mental health drugs for a week for my Gramma/pa Pill Organizers💊

v thankful to live in a 1200sf house today (cleaning things). Also that it has rooms and not some open floor plan: that would stress me out. I like closure when I finish an area. Doors. Walls. Planning to get the dining room (my desk) and living room perfect today.🧹🫧🪟

have the recurring nightmare that I’m late to a shift at Fred Meyer or Kroger and can’t clock in. What is that. Or I forget to see if I’m on the schedule. And it always meshes w my real current life, like when I’ll be out of town/forgetting to ask off.
