I've come to the conclusion that the effort that it takes to make mushroom coffee palatable isn't worth the effort. At least it was free...but yeah. Blech. #Coffee #MushroomCoffee #IDontEvenLikeMushrooms

My scarf is getting to the point where it's unwieldy. In the past I've folded it up to a random point and used a couple clothespins to secure it bc that's what I've had handy. Any suggestions on other options?

I've entered my knitting upside-down cats era, which means I'm past the halfway mark! Pattern: Herding Cats Scarf by Lisa Hannan Fox Black (grey) yarn: Vicious Yarn Glam in Dragonglass Orange: Honey Girl Farms Deluxe Sock in The Giant Pumpkin

Black tonal knit cats on a background of tonal orange yarn. The lower three cats are right-side up, the top one is upside down.

Buckle up, folks. This likely means they expect prices to get much worse. Also: it would add an estimated $2.5 billion to the national debt every month.

Finished the first two charts of Lisa Hannan Fox's Herding Cats scarf. Doesn't necessarily look like much progress for 11", but it's almost 10k stitches already! My phone's camera makes the orange look both darker, and redder than it actually is. #DoubleKnit #Knit

One side of the first 11 inches of a double-knit scarf. Some of the cats are in a variegated black/grey yarn, and others are a tonal orange with a grey/black outline. The background is the same tonal orange and the border is the same black/grey.

I'm failing so hard at finding yarn for projects I want to knit. If it's not a pattern that I like but it won't work with any of my yarn, it's me finding yarns and winding them just to realize there's not enough contrast between them and the pattern gets lost. 🙃 #Knitting #DoubleKnitting

When I was checking the size of needle I'd been using on the hat I've been knitting so I could find the correct DPN for the decreases, I realized that I'd used one #6 tip and one #7 tip for the body...apparently I forgot to swap the second one when I got to the end of the first row. Welp. 😆

I think it's interesting that it was recommended that I not take my vitamins (over the counter D3 & B12 per doctors) the week preceding my colonoscopy 'cause they're not FDA approved so their ingredients can't be 100% confirmed.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

TFW you get two estimates for medical stuff & they're both over $2k, but then you remember your deductible is $2k so the next 6 mo. (renews at the end of June) of medical stuff is about to get cheaper. But $2k out of pocket right after Xmas and AWA is still owie. But hey, US healthcare's great! /s

So the “closed” daycares…were closed during the last week of the year, during which most daycares are closed. And the doors were “locked,” which they are at every daycare. And they wouldn’t let in a “journalist” with a camera…which they wouldn’t do at any daycare. Got it.

Cracked the filter cover on my N95 earlier when I was swapping the filter to prep for my infusion center appt. 🙃 Had to borrow the husband's, which felt weird since his is more broken in than mine. Lucky for me, envomask's running a sale so I can replace the cover and grab a couple spares.

I find it kinda ironic that the person w/the "Jesus loves you" sticker on their rear window and the "In God we trust" sticker on their license plate are the ones who are parked straight, but very much in two spots. God might love you, lady, but your neighbors don't when you park like that.
