The sky was so beautifully moody on my drive to work this morning, absolutely stunning. I am in such a great mood that I'm already waiting for something to go wrong, lol. But plan on riding the high while I can!
Happy Halloween!
Edit: 4 minutes later and I'm crying at my desk over a family member's dog who passed away. Swings and roundabouts.

Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 1mon
Why have I been wide awake since 5am wanting to play plants vs zombies?!?!
Damn you Nintendo switch.
Edit: may as well be productive. Off to the gym, shopping then I can come home and be a zonk beast.

I sorted out all my make up a, threw out all the old stuff, made room for the new stuff. I have a new eye shadow palette and some palettes I have barely used so Imma wear a different colour every day for fun and see what I like.
today was glitter dark gold brown, I liked it :)

Made it down the bellarine.
Seems like the kiddos are really leaning into Halloween down here costume-wise. Suppose there's not much else to do down here at that age lol.
They can have a 4 year old ferrero rocher if they come knocking but they'll have to split it.

My dog is cunning. He knows which way they are walking, runs up and waits until they're parallel and starts barking. Little shit.

I write myself lists of things to do on the weekend (vacuum! clean windows! declutter documents! gardening! catch up on work!), then when the weekend arrives I look at the list and think wtf was I thinking?!

Three days spent horizontal in bed, looking to be a fourth at this point. Getting a med cert to at least get an extension on submitting my slides. Hopefully will be fine for Thursday to present. The other option was delay it until December.

Watching videos of treatment with the cream (on a human guy who shows and describes it) and it’s possibly going to be a bigger deal than I thought.
Baby girl’s pretty face might look drastically different during this and be itchy or sore enough to need the cone of shame. She also might feel lethargic and lose her appetite a few weeks in so I’m wondering if some kitten formula as a snack might help keep her topped up.
All of this will be worth it though if prevents things developing into the big C.
:::
She’s still a trooper, eating her meals and cuddling. Plenty of treats.
The pumpkin sproots are going gangbusters. Even at the start they grew visibly over hours and now they’re starting on their second pair of leaves. I’m going to give them a dose of liquid fertiliser and give them to a friend for their kid next week.

So I woke up at 10:20, didn't get the kids to care till midday, went to pick up their birthday present bikes that weren't ready, then couldn't find the Marathons to switch out the pram tyres. At least I have Monday to myself to try it all again

Trying to stashbust… start blanket, screw up stitch count and rip out inches of work -_-
Audiobooks to the rescue
4
CEOofmyhouse56 - 1mon
A lot of people who start out crocheting forget that stitch at the end and they don't realise until they're so far in. I started out making bags and pockets for things like my knitting needles and ipads and stuff because the stitches are easier to count and I could practice patterns and stuff. Fuck counting stitches.
Some people start with granny squares and sew them up into a blanket.
The point is and I'm gonna be harsh here, if you're dropping stitches on a blanket then you're probably not ready for a blanket.
4
melbaboutown - 1mon
I’ve done granny squares but really didn’t want to stitch everything together at the end.
I didn’t forget the stitch at the end, and didn’t drop a stitch.
I’m doing the lemon peel stitch and it turns out while listening to an audiobook I did two DC in a row, which made me finish on a SC when not meant to. I’ve sorted that out now and trying to get the hang of everything again/pay more attention.
But yeah I am definitely still very green with crochet. It’s taking me a minute to get my confidence.
3
CEOofmyhouse56 - 1mon
I don't like sewing pieces together either that's why I crab stitch them together instead.
3
melbaboutown - 1mon
Also I found my tension kind of sucked so the squares were slightly inconsistent sizes… figured I’d do a continuous stitch to try and work on the rhythm
3
CEOofmyhouse56 - 1mon
That's why you start making small stuff first so you can practice tension.
4
melbaboutown - 1mon
Thankfully it’s just a really small pet blanket. It’s still going to be a test of patience and may or may not get finished
