My birthday gift from Husband & the kids is a new HP laptop. I haven't had a real computer other than my phone for 5+yrs. I need a laptop for school. I've been using it all weekend. My major complaint - you can't adjust the font color and the font color currently in use is too light. I need black. It's a light blue. It makes it really hard to see anything in screen. I can't do dark mode, that gives me headaches.

How do i fix this?

I'm honestly not bitter that my mother & sister traveled 6+ hours to attend my niece's graduation when they wouldn't drive 35 minutes for my son's graduation last year. There's a small part of my brain that is screaming YOU SHOULD BE ANGRY. But for my own happiness, I'm choosing to let it go. I hope they have a safe trip.

@MsHearthWitch It's taken me years to let it go and it's the best decision I've made for myself.

Anyone want to share their opinions on #SewingMachines? I may be interested in buying a new one. I have a 20 yr old Janome that is so loud I can't use it when anyone is home because they complain. It's also cranky & I could never get it to make good stitches consistently. I want to make my own clothing & since this is probably a passing fancy, I'd like to not pay an arm & a leg for it. (Maybe a second hand deal?) I don't mind an older machine and I don't want anything computer-y. #craft #sewing

Between the shitty migraine, the unpleasant lesson earlier & Husband's general crankiness, I'm going to cry tonight. I think I'll take a shower after I eat something.

Good morning, friends ☕ ☕ 🐕 🐕 💞 💞

Thanks to @ingalls for the reminder that May 18 is the anniversary of the Mt St Helens eruption (1980), and it's worth marking that day.

We had moved from Yakima to Wenatchee a few years earlier, so got the reports of 'darkness at noon' by phone from my grandma who was still there.

This ⬇️ is a US Forest Service photo, taken at 1:30PM on Yakima Avenue, Yakima WA, on May 18 as the ash cloud passed through.

    I am OBSESSED with The Frosted Stitch's Grunge collection.

    https://thefrostedstitch.ca/collections/grunge

    I have a "no buying yarn unless you have a project in mind" rule, buuuut I might have ordered 5 skeins for a yet-to-be-planned sweater project 🙈

    I'm thinking something like this cabled mesh sweater? With those traditional 90s punk stripes (you know the ones). With or without the color work skull (to be decided)

    @knitting @fiberarts

    A cable and mesh sweater, found through Google search and available from Walmart and other retailers. It's an oversized drop shoulder pattern, with cables along the sides and mesh down the front and sleeves. There's a skull and crossbones on the front that's clearly printed on top and not actually color work

    Slept 4.5 hours last night. Get Younger Kidlet on the bus, clean up the morning breakfast stuff, settle to fall back to sleep... just about to drift off & the phone rings. The school doesn't want him because the doctor's note we gave them stated that he is to be excused yesterday and today. I just picked him up & now husband is annoyed with the school but I get the brunt of it.

    I'm so fucking tired and drained. I've been running on fumes for weeks now & I'm done with it all.

    Heidiknits,

    @MsHearthWitch Got it. Slept a couple solid hours. It was delightful.

    At er with Younger Kidlet. He fell of his bike & landed on his chin. He got 3 stitches there & his jaw is broken in 2 parts. Waiting to talk to the surgeon. His lips are cut & he's randomly spitting pieces of asphalt out of his braces. Going to be a long night.

    @Heidiknits@mastodon.social avatar

    12:51am Saturday. I've been awake since 4am Friday. The Dr came in & did another exam. No decisions have been made but they're thinking surgery. Busy night in the hospital. Lots of noise, crying & beeping.

    I need sleep. My brain is screaming at me to clean a bathroom. Not going to happen, brain. I'm going to meditate and attempt to go to bed. I'd kiss a toad for 6 solid hours of sleep.

    Good night, Mastodonlandia. I love you. Thanks for being good to me & caring about my kid. This too shall pass, right?

    I love that the two leaders on my Annual 2024 Peloton Challenge Board are a 70+ year old with 16,664 minutes and an 88 year old with 7,299 minutes; They are very inspirational! I'm not doing too bad at 5,011 minutes of exercise for the year either though.

    @hankg It's a special kind a cheating when you're retired though. You got all day to do nothing but pedal! 🤣

    (Completely kidding! It's awesome that they're moving that much at any age.)

    Harking back to that discussion of “which of these is the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash?” when they are unlabeled in a hotel - i posited that the conditioner was likely to be to the right of the shampoo due to a US-based left to right bias. This hotel proves me wrong. (At least these are labeled)

    Heidiknits,
    @Heidiknits@mastodon.social avatar

    @consumablejoy In the hotel room I had this weekend it went l-r shampoo, shower gel, conditioner (which was empty😒). I was glad that I read them before hopping in because I may have struggled without my glasses on.

    Heidiknits,
    @Heidiknits@mastodon.social avatar

    @MsHearthWitch @consumablejoy I had all intentions of bringing my own then forgot them. I went to purchase travel sizes of shampoo/conditioner & they were $6.00 each and not my brand. 😒 No thanks. 🙄 I only washed my hair once, on Sunday & that was because I felt super grungy.

    Daily draw. My interpretation:

    Leaving a bad situation put me in a place for new opportunities, but my momentum is still blocked.

    @girlonthenet I just want to dance through them. It looks so pretty. All we have flowering here are daffodils and dandelions. Boring, comparatively.
