Tengo una migraña. =(
It's not the same, reading about forests in ebooks.
Paper remembers the whispered wind, the dappled light, the soft smell. And honours it.

Okay, #yarnuary update for week 1. I had to stop sewing because my cat chewed up my only yarn needle while I was eating lunch, but I'll get new needles tomorrow. Gauge kept shifting, probably partially due to cold, but I got a better feel for how to do this years old piece. I'm happy.

Okay I got a sense of deja vu reusing tea leaves. This pot has to be at least the 3rd time I've reused leaves today. ...It's a good a thing I lost count of cups because I think I'd be alarmed. But tea is delicious.
How many cups of tea have I drunk? I lost count two pots ago (I was never counting)
For #yarnuary let me share a project I made in 2016 that I found digging through my photos. I thought I made it, but didn't recall until I found proof. #crochet Ever had a time like that?

Ugh. Cold is winning I think 🤒 ...if I can order cold medicine for delivery tomorrow I may just not go out.

Estoy feliz, aunque tengo un catarro. 🤒
We're celebrating my dog's (probably) 17th #birthday today. He got canned food and half of one of these ginormous birthday cookies from the shop. He is a sweet old boy. I've had him since my childhood. #dogs https://witches.town/media/x5PZPVMNurSaRQxSh_M
They’ve found another mature American chestnut tree that appears to be resistant to the chestnut blight!

This is extremely good news. Until the chestnut blight, chestnut trees were the predominant tree in eastern North America. They hope to breed this one with others.
Okay, who had the countdown to me liking #WashiTape? Because I spent a decent amount of money on pretty tape. Gonna pretty up a lot of things including the #bujo / #bulletjournal. Yes I picked up pens too.

Ugh. I have that feeling pre-migraine. I hope I can prevent it. But I'm nearly out of milk (I take coffee with milk). I took a medication. I hope it goes away.
something you get reminded that moderate-to-severe depression is actually a thing the majority of people & mainstream society have no comprehension of & it's just wild
you get used to the idea that mere depression is like, the most vanilla mental disorder
and maybe it is, but
it's still, by itself, a chasm of understanding that most people cannot or will not cross
& that's before you take into account the actual symptoms of depression to begin with, &, those are Non-Trivial
Okay. The weather report made me sad how very cold it is with windchill, but I'm just gonna bundle up, and do my shopping and #staypositive! I bet no one will be at the craft store today. Then again, old ladies are really hardcore. I bet they would endure the windchill if the store is running a sale.
#yarnuary week 1 goal: I think I'll work on my backlog. I have this blanket I've been working on and off on for literally years.
When I was transcribing letters from the 19th century this summer, I came across one when a year changed, and he crossed out the year and wrote the year above that. I smiled as I coded in the striked-out text, thinking "It takes me until March to get the year right".

Good morning Mastodon. Happy New Year! I hope you slept better than I did, in which I had to convince a timid tabby that fireworks are just ridiculous. I failed.
I had a great idea! I think on days when I have a decent amount of spare time, I will force myself to put in my #bujo my tasks in #español / #Spanish <insert whatever language you're learning here> I mean, I knew in theory that "lavar" was "to wash" but I didn't think about it in the context of clothes you know?
