This made me laugh. I don’t strongly care about the sanctuary seating, but I am glad that it has enough spacing and sections at the front and back for people who use walkers or wheelchairs. Also, I am pretty sure I make that face regularly.

It is very surreal to be taking a walk and have someone else walking around listening to someone talking about Boston and Godzilla who sounded sort of like @hillarymonahan.bsky.social. I almost asked, but I wouldn’t want to be interrupted on a walk so I didn’t.

From yesterday’s birthday party. There was also swear-filled magnetic poetry. The perfect space to bring a group of 13 year olds.

It is a sign that is red on top and white on the bottom.

On the top it says: PRIVATE SIGN.

On the bottom it says: DO NOT READ

I was supposed to make the @smittenkitchen.bsky.social twinkie bundt cake for my kid’s birthday party, but it didn’t come out of the pan cleanly. We are pivoting to birthday twinkie cake trifle.

I want to sleep, but each time I try I get the start of a charlie horse on the bottom of my foot. Piffle I say!

I have 20 rows and a bind off on my shawl, but I don’t know if the color I am working with has enough yardage for all that. Of course, I am on my lunch break and my super accurate molecular gastronomy scale is at home.

I checked mine a couple of weeks ago, but I still double checked today in case of shenanigans.

Today was a community day at church, a small gap and then a two-hour choir rehearsal. I should be exhausted, and I am, but I did so little me stuff that I am up and on my phone like I’ll have no regrets in the morning.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Today I am making a pineapple upside down cake and pineapple fried rice for dinner. I leave for crafting soon, so I started rice in the instapot so I have one less step in the evening. Because everything feels like a lot lately I even have a checklist.

Crepes with mushroom filling! Weirdly enough this was my first time making crepes, and I threw out the first one and ate the second one because it wasn’t very pretty.

A pair of homemade crepes quarter-folded with a mushroom filling on a small white plate.

This morning was my first run in over a week (maybe 2, does time mean anything?). I have finished the docs for the community fair on Sunday, sent some emails, did an online order, and a few other things. I still have a half dozen things that need to happen. May I find time to craft for my sanity.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Dinner was tasty, but it took about 1.5 hours. It is only feasible because I had today off from work. Tomorrow is similar as I “finish” up pancake week with crepes with a sautéed mushroom filling.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I have potatoes on the stove. I have mustard seed, ginger and asafoetida, garam masala waiting for the potatoes to be closer to done. Tonight’s dinner is samosa pancakes with dosa.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I have today off. My kid is still in bed. I have answered (1) work email, because I would otherwise be thinking about it all day. I folded prt of laundry mountain, done a tiny amount of dishes and am working my way through my coffee. Happy Thursday!

I scream sang Am I Evil? (Metallica, ~1984) a ton. One of my friends made me a video collection, Tall Sweaty Humans with Guitars. It had other Metallica and Scatterbrain’s I’m Not Going Down With The Ship (1990).

I am pretty close to the end of the Terraced Hill Shawl, but I have been mentally done for about a week. I keep looking at fancy cabled sweater patterns. Anyone have a favorite?

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I made it to Body Pump today where we had a substitute instructor. Dorothy is 71 years old and put all of us to shame. I will be feeling this later today.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The kid had a sleep over last night. I picked him up around 10:30 this morning. Within 30 minutes of getting home he was asleep on the couch. It made for a quiet day of reading and cross-stitch before heading to choir.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

#ShowMeYourKnits I made these more than 13 years ago and other than one stitch coming undone they are still going strong. One of the projects I am most proud of.

The mittens are sitting on top of each other on a wooden floor.

I have made tomatillo salsa, done some cross-stitch, and laundry. I think that is enough for today. Tomorrow will be plenty full.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

The dishwasher just made its pleasant I’m done sound, so soon it will be time to put away some dishes before reloading the dishwasher and washing hopefully a few dishes by hand. I was planning to start 310 today. It is a Witchy Stitcher ode to 310, black floss in DMC.

Ah, thank you vaccines for stage 2. I am now achy and cold and just want to do the nothings. Hopefully it will be over soon. Still better than shingles.

I have been vaccinated. I got COVID-19, flu and shingles. I am grateful for medical science. I might be less grateful tomorrow morning depending on how I feel.

I just saw the Jessie Blue post about not wasting their time with the please clap, basics of adulting. I have never wanted to post about minutia more than after reading that. So, I made coffee this morning rather than buying it on my way to work. Please clap.

So, leg day and Body Pump kicked my butt, legs, arms and the core I gave up for Lent back in the 20th century. I woke up around 4:30, but I did not go for a run. I just lay in bed noting which parts were sore when I moved them. It was all of them.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I pulled out a hoodie today and wore it while my kid went onto the deck to do math homework. It was companionable. I wish for chill days like this.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I have a gym class this morning, but I get to do extra stuff afterwards because I don’t beed to rush off today. The only thing better than not needing to rush off is if I was just able to go back to bed.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

As part of leg day we did this exercise. I was using a regular 20 pound dumbbell (so a bit taller), and now my legs ache. Also, why do we leg day again?

It wasn’t necessarily intentional, but our upcoming choir concert with a Heal The World theme is very UU. So many songs where I have sung versions at church. Right now that means I have “I Believe” stuck in my head.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

My ring came in Saturday from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social. I have been wearing it except for bed, running and dishes. It is making me so happy! In keeping with being a UU, I am hoping that wearing this ring will remind me to not be a dick.

A ring on a white woman’s hand. There is an oval kyanite stone and the sterling silver band is hammered and curved towards the back of the hand. The area closest to the hand has three stars.

I have a pair of jeans with decorated front and back pockets that are otherwise really worn. I just took them partway apart, and now I am trying to figure out my next steps to add both sets of pockets to a swag tote. Ideally, the front pockets would come with the entire front and be 3 pockets!

At 20, I was depressed, broke as all get out and working multiple jobs to try and pay rent. I hadn’t finished college for money reasons and was understandably miserable. My 20-year old self would be thrilled that things hadn’t stayed the same.

I don’t necessarily need to mute every name of every horrible person in the Trump administration, but I am getting awfully tired of seeing Kash Patel’s perpetually surprised face with a variety of unsuspecting farm animals.

If I get to retire, I am going to spend a month cleaning a thing or two, crafting more than a thing or two and reading. Then I am going to volunteer. It feels like forever, though realistically I could retire in ~15 years should I be so lucky. (Brought to you by wanting to sleep in and knit.)

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I will be full of regrets in the morning, but I finished my book. I am almost certainly not getting up by 6:00 to go running.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I am knitting over lunch and being miffed that I cannot get through the project faster. The lights are such that there are three of me working on it from the shadows.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I need to work on my chill. My kid telling me he cannot find math homework when it is marked missing and linked from the class page is giving me too much irritation. Time to pull out the knitting and fix myself.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I was cleaning up my knitting bag, so I can fit both my knitting project and my choir music in the bag. I decided I needed a smaller project, which is usually socks and dug around in my bag and found socks started on 80 stitches. Who was I making purple monster-size socks for?

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I’ve been turning my yarn scraps into the part to hold down a watch strap lately. Mine is red leftovers and my kid’s one is blue. If it was more visible and I was more fashionable, I’d make a whole bunch to suit my moods or outfits.

Veggie brats with onions, garlic sautéed mushrooms, and mashed potatoes for dinner. And dishes. Sadly the dishwasher is not doing a great job right now.

I have been working on the Terraced Hill Shawl since last Saturday and I started color 2 Wednesday night (or Thursday over lunch). It is squishy and mindless and looks like nothing. I love it.

A pile of garter stitch against a wood grain table. The knitting has a needle still in it. The two colors are a multicolor yarn that has a cool purple vibe overall (but contains greens, yellows and reds) and one that is much more autumnal with warmer versions of some of the same colors. If you look at the pile closely you can see that the knitting kind of stair steps along one side and is very skinny at one end.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I had a church meeting (committee I’m on), and when I got done my kid wasn’t still working on homework. I got to knit!

The Terraced Hill Shawl is gobs of garter stitch and I have done hundreds of rows this weekend. I am one increase section before my first color change. I might get there tomorrow depending on how much I knit over lunch.

I met my friend and did leg day. Because I don’t have work today, I followed leg day with a 2 mile walk-run. Other than dishes part 2 and making meals, I am hoping for a fairly lazy day.

Seanna Lea LoBue (she/they) @qarylla.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I started the Terraced Hill Shawl yesterday, and I am enjoying my squishy yarn experience. I knit during service today and at the start of a meeting.

I have fresh hair and a new knitting project. I gave my last pair of socks to someone who fits them better (I keep forgetting that my feet are pretty narrow and need less stitches or a US 1).
