These seats are okay, I guess.

Lucy Hague has some pretty impressive stuff in the cable category. (I'm just weaving in the ends on a Kells sweater that I went and added even more cables to because I'm like that. I need to dig through the old Stitch Collective patterns sometime. They had a real "$400 at Anthro" vibe going.

I'm starting to lean towards it actually being a faux seam, because I'm pretty sure I see the purl column toward the bottom of the photo where the stitch pattern pulls the edges apart just a bit.

Not looking at your phone while crossing the street is kind of basic pedestrian safety. Also in some cities, you've got to watch where you pull out your phone lest it be snatched. I could go on and on...

I've got a kid who will absolutely wear the mask the whole time, which is harrowing because the sidewalks in that neighborhood are very uneven, but I admire her commitment to the bit. This year, she wants to be Athena, though, so that's a load off my mind.

My teenager has to cross streets downtown every day, and they're not even allowed phones at school. My dad doesn't have a smart phone either. It's bad enough that you can't park some places without one, but for health and safety things? my gosh.

An architect neighbor tipped us off to the six-figure tuckpointing job a place was going to need, and he saved everyone a lot of needless trouble, because we weren't the types to forgo inspection.

If it's not a done deal, the kids will be pissed at you, but they're also not going to be a part of your life in any way whatsoever for much longer.

That's okay, I'm pretty sure mine was the Garfield Halloween Special. I should go back sometime to see if it's something I genuinely wouldn't recommend showing to a five-ish year old, or if I was just particularly excitable then.

I know, I know, inflation, but I got my leather CBP set for not much over $100 like 20 years ago. And that was as nice as they got; you could have fake leather for $80-something with colored covers and page edges, or black leather with gold. Everybody got the same 5 ribbons.

The notion that it's rude for someone to sit during a customer-facing job is such a weird, boomer-coded notion. I get to sit as soon as I get to my gate, whereas they could be stuck for seven more hours, of course they should be allowed to sit!

My kids don't even use "rizz" (I guess cause it's a small school with a lot of former homeschoolers), but I do. Sometimes a new piece of slang just clicks.

Had to go out late this evening to scrub some possibly poison-ivy-contaminated kids' shoes, but I did find a bumblebee that had decided that my marigold would make a comfy bed, so that kind of makes up for it.
