Post-camping shath including Badedas. Going from my filthiest state to my clean-and-sparkliest. Tonight’s movie has been picked out (Tampopo) and pizza has been ordered. Ahhhhh.

My coworker and I have lunch at the same time today, the first time this has happened (we cover for each other, usually). Me: Let’s not talk to each other! Coworker: Yeah!

I work for a nonprofit. For staff appreciation week we’re asked to bring in our old org-branded swag (t-shirts, mugs etc) and put them in a free box for other staff members to pick from. So thrifty. So appreciative.

I can't tell if my indifference towards Jimothy is because I am old and out of touch, or if I'm drawing on the "I'm too cool for this mainstream piece of entertainment" snobbery of my youth.

I recaulked my shower, something I have never done before. I had to pay the ADHD tax and buy a 2nd tube of caulk (and of course found the 1st as soon as I got home). I keep standing in the bathroom and gazing at it. This must be how architects feel. I am so powerful.

A bee landed on my leg while I was biking on a trail today and first I nearly crashed from overreacting to it and then nearly crashed from laughing at my overreacting. Turns out yelling "GET OFF GET OFF GET OFFFF" doesn't make bees fly away.

Today I learned that the local children's hospital hires extra social workers for the ER in May, because it's such a rough month for so many people. Hey! It's not just you!

None of the ADUs in this Seattle Times article are used for housing. One’s a pottery studio. One’s a 2nd kitchen and occasional guest room. One’s a music room. One is for the homeowner’s parents to stay in “several months a year.” It’s like a parody of an article about life here.

I’m in the break room at work and one of the higher ups just saw me and happily said “you didn’t resign!” which makes me think I might have been giving off a bit of a ~mood~ yesterday.

So lost in this quilt pattern (and my unwise changes to it) that I had to break out the colored pencils to make sure it still makes sense. And also to check for accidental swastikas, a constant quilting problem.

Orange quilt: done! This one put up a fight but in the end I love it.

Today my coworker said they needed stitches but they couldn't afford to get them so we set up a lil' station in the staff kitchen and learned how to use hemostatic powder, so, that's how things are going in the US right now.

Help me, sewingsky. I was given this great pair of snips, and there seems to be a needle (?) stuck in the handle wrap. I presume it comes out but it’s stuck firmly in there like it’s supposed to stay. Should I yank it out? #quilt

A high school principal in East Wenatchee is going to let a high school cop Taser him if attendance rates go up. Oh, the wacky hijinks! And so many valuable lessons to be learned, e.g. Tasers aren’t a big deal, weapons are funny toys, and armed cops in high schools are fine and normal.

An article from the Wenatchee World News about the tasering plan. It’s black and white because my camera got weird for some reason.

My dad, a lifelong atheist, told me that when he joined the army and had to declare a religion he said “Ra, the sun god.” This would have been in the 1950s, back when America was Great 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I really should see if his official records are somewhere I can look them up. His story might even be true!

I cannot do quilt math in my head and am in awe of people who can. This is me figuring out what size I want to make my mushroom quilt. Not shown: the agony of binding yardage. I know calculators exist and yet.

Mushroom quilt: finished! This one was an emotional journey, with me alternating liking it and wanting to shove it in a bag and pretend I never started it. Now that it’s done and has crinkled, I’m v pleased.

I’m normally a bit squeamish about food made in non-commercial places I don’t know well but so far today I’ve eaten a PB cookie made in someone’s house, eggrolls made in a different house, and pumpkin pie made in a church. Goodbye, goodbye
