Me: has no spoons for the day

Also me: cleans the kitchen and living room, makes freshly squeezed lemonade

It's funny, after partaking in two very chill yoga classes led by Scottee of the wonkee club at the weekend, I'm REALLY nervous to take the beginner's class by his friend Lucy B this morning.

Maybe it's because I didn't have time to psych myself out - I heard about the sessions the day I took them. This one, I signed up for weeks ago.

Going to conquer the brain weasels and do it anyways!

I did not want to show up on the mat this morning. I was achey, I did not sleep well, bloated and sore from hormones (weeee).

But I'd made a promise to myself when I signed up for this that I was going to do it every damn week unless I was like, deathly ill.

Some gentle butt-kicking as I start this new chapter of my life. Doing hard things.

I'm so glad I did!

My house smells like pot roast and freshly baked bread. It's so wonderful.

Although I have to say, I got as far as "my house smells like pot..." and I was like WHAT and then I saw "roast" and all became clear. 🤣

Did another yoga class this morning. The Wonkee Club's practice this month are two sessions paired together, designed for morning/evening.

Had some trouble with the forward fold though... Uncertain if an instructor can help with this specific issue.

I really love how casual and comfortable the practice is. I wasn't bothered by my dog, I took a few moments to give him some love and attention and then continued with the session. It feels so... for me.

I did the yoga class last night. The pain had largely let up but my whole body felt tight and uncomfy.

The class was brilliant, truly. The instructor's energy is perfect for me, very welcoming and fun and just a lil cheeky.

There's another class in an hour, I think I'm gonna do it :)

On repeat 10 out of 21 for this shawl, then a large heavily beaded border section.

This section has beads too but they're small and frosted and harder to see, but I'm hoping they'll catch sunlight nicely.

~220 stitches per row at this point, +2 every RS row. Each repeat is 12 rows total, so an increase of 12 stitches.

It's gonna be... a lot of stitches at the end. But damn I'm getting good at continental purling!

@EdibleFuchsia Yes, that's why I love it so much, it has a timeless quality to it. And the yarn is very neutral and timeless as well.

Despite yesterday's chaos I still managed to get to the butcher. There's a local butcher that's literally across the street from my new co-op grocery store.

They had some yummy chorizo that I'mma use in gumbo later this week. And I grabbed a packet of breakfast sausage patties (because I need to stop swinging by starbies to get a sammich b4 work).

Tried one this morning. HOLY SHIT that's so good. And the price is like, the same as the Johnsonville ones. So, yay?

Sad to have to cancel my Margreve D&D session this morning. I love DMing for those folks.

But with a few ppl not able to make it and my own body having quite a pain flare it just seemed like the universe was making the decision for me.

So I'm going to embrace a quieter morning, try to manage the pain and keep the headache from going full on migraine.

And lil man is going to the groomer's later!

Planning a date night with my girls...

We're going to print out our favorite fanfics and then learn how to bind books and make them into hardcover books!

I washed, dried AND put away all of my laundry ON THE SAME DAY. I would like a parade now please.

Bard,

@MsHearthWitch Do you offer lessons on how to master this skill?

MsHearthWitch,
@MsHearthWitch@wandering.shop avatar

@Bard Well mine was partly spurred on by having some of my son's clothes in my laundry so needing to sort those out.

But the other thing that helped a lot is that I have an IKEA shelf with the cloth bins. I don't fold clothes. There's one for bralettes, two for tops (work and house) and two for pants (work and house).

Putting away takes less than 5 min.

I want to get some sort of "Welcome to Bag End" style sign to hang in my entryway.

Maybe like a wooden or brass sign, or even a cross stitch I can do.

But I'm also not wanting exactly "Bag End" as the name, it's just those are the vibes I want.

When someone walks into my home I want them to feel as though they've stepped into a Ghibli-style Hobbit house with a dusting of Discworld Witches.

Had an AMAZING meeting at work today about partnering with a local center. They help people with obstacles to employment get jobs, but also volunteer spots to help them gain references, skills and confidence.

THIS is why I do what I do at this job. It's why working at a non profit is worth it to me. And it's a way I can use my job to help build and be in community.

I'm so excited about the possibilities.

@Fredatron As soon as I got their email I was SO SO excited to work with them.

Went to go to work today for an important meeting...

Apparently my tire had a close and personal relationship with a screw all night long.

Thankfully one of the board members was able to come pick me up (yay for only living 4 min from work) so I made my meeting.

Then a nice neighbor helped me inflate the tire with his portable air compressor (yay community!)

Tire shop had me in and out in under 30 min while I had a coffee (yay starbucks!)

@consumablejoy Same. I was super panicked at first. If you can believe it I've never actually had a flat before. Hugely traumatic accidents yes, flats... no.

But like, I have great people around me, and it was all totally fine!

Sew Liberated just put out a new pattern and it just has fat happy little hobbit all over it. Hell it's even in the description.

I bought the pattern, OF COURSE. And now I'm on the hunt for some affordable linen.

I really need to get my sewing table and stuff set back up.

But first I need to get my new bed set up (getting delivered next week!) Then I'll have a better idea of what I'm working with, space wise.
