  I got vaccines for COVID and Flu on Friday afternoon. I am happy to say my strategy of "When you feel the malaise coming, take some Tylenol before you get the shivers" seems to have worked really well for Friday Night and Satirday. Today I have entered into a "Which lump is being more itchy" phase of immunity building. [Voice of Lola from Big Mouth] I was going to get my arm Triple Pierced by my age prevented me from registering for Guardasil in the Fucking...

  I am attempting to sell my Google Pixel 4 that I originally bought with Sprint. I am trying Swappa because it reminds me half.com (reasonable assumption of what things sell-for while Not Being EBay). If anyone is interested in having an Old Phone shipped from ATL Metro, lemme know and AI can send the Swappa link, but also I feel like I have the only Pixel 4 on Swappa right now. #Pixel4 #swappa

  After speed running 3 easy wash cloths for a gift set.. I am now cranking out the set in different yarns. This time it'll Knit Picks Dishie Twill in colorway Coffee (a dark brown twisted with white to make for speckled brown effects) This one is a simple stockinette cloth with a garter border. I have learned that an i-cord loop after the bind off makes for the best hanging loop. #knitting #giftette #washcloth #handmade

  After speed running 3 easy wash cloths by Elizabeth Carls for a gift set; I am now cranking out the set in different yarns. This time it was Knit Picks Dishie Twist in colorway Conch (a peachy pink twisted with white to make for speckled brown effects) again. As you can see they roll up and fit inside the original wrapper which makes them perfect to be handed over or tossed like missile to retaliate for unexpected gifts. #knitting #giftette #washcloth #handmade

  I am happy to report that my neighborhood has finally broken the new hot car curse. Instead of getting a Kia Telluride, some sensible neighbors with 2 kids got... A Hyundai Palisade.

  My aging dog is having an upset stomach more frequently... Which means she starts feeling hork-ey around the same time I want to go to sleep... And we have now had two incidents this month were I am about to finally doze off but am woken up by the sound of her retching and the adrenaline rush makes it so I won't fall asleep for the next 4 hours and that's only if I dose myself with melatonin and Benadryl... 4 hours where I am grumpy and hateful and she can sense it.

  Now I need to find a little-wig pattern for the skulls a coworker is 3D printing and putting in the office. (I have pre-cleared knitting little wigs for the 3D printed skulls for the coworker. I am thinking a small beanie with long I-Cord fringe to evoke dreads/braids/plaits. #knitting #wigs #officeart

  Everything about these semi/centennial celebrations makes me feel like this isn't America's Birthday but more like America's Yom Kippur: As my Jewish friend describes the holiday: a solemn day-off to for atonement and repentance upon one's crimes. Crimes against oneself, ones family, ones neighbors, and most of all, one's crimes against God.

  I bought a 2lb bag of mixed candy to sugar up my office... But I cannot fathom why it came with 8 little stakes. Am I expected to try and plant the candy to grow caramel candy bushes? Is it something you would put in a bucket at a candy shop?

  *Finds a new author recommended by my father on a family visit* *Had bought a whole bunch of books already so his book budget is low... But then remembers Library exists.* *Downloads first e-book rental and starts inhaling book* *Likes author, double check's Internet to see whatever controversies exist, is delighted to see the discourse is "has these politics; acts like it" and lots of criticism of some of the writing falling into tropes that become repetetive/boring/trite when...

  I have started knitting another Allegro Shawl (thneed) for a coworker. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/allegro-shawl-2 I am making it with Berroco Vintage DK yarn in Scotch Pine that the coworker liked. The needles for the cuff have been downsized a quarter of a mm because the 4mm needles are in use, but the shawl bits will be done with the 7mm straight needles as they knit a swatch to size. #Knitting #AllegroShawl #Thneed

  Horrid epiphany: If the MacBook Neo is successful, Apple might release a Mac Mini Neo that might only cost $200-300 (base a20 chip without a battery, screen, or cell-modem) Computer THAT cheap, I wouldn't be surprised if they sold them in blind boxes. "For the cost of a MacBook Air you can get all 5 colors of the Mac Mini Neo... And there's a chance you get the *Rare Secret* color!"
