Finished these today. About a shoe size 9 ladies. Wool. Made on Hers (KB His/Hers–orange looms). Kitchener cast-on, flat knit-stitch, German Short-row heel, four-by-four knit/purl, ribbed cuff. For my charity, Hugger Hats.
I’ve started convertible fingerless mittens with the last of this yarn. I hope it works out.
It never rains but what it pours. We’ve been in a draught for so long here on the west coast. Fires shouldn’t surprise us.
Finally, today a little rain. My eyes are so relieved from lack of smoke or too much sun.
Stream of Consciousness Saturday is a prompt from Linda G. Hill.
On Tuesday my husband had another successful cataract surgery. He got home safely. After that it was downhill for the week.
Teddy started getting sick. He is getting better on the antibiotics.
What I forgot to mention, our poor white mama hen and one of the chicks got taken by hawks.
What a rollercoaster week!
Has had us scared for the last couple days. Falling instead of jumping off beds. Walking around like a drunk. Last night I felt him and he was cold and not moving. He’s about thirteen, so too young to leave this world.
My touching him was irritating. He left my bed for another.
We took him to the vet today. We think it is an inner ear infection. She started him with an antibiotic shot with more drops for us to continue twice a day for the duration. He’s back to eating and drinking.
He loves traveling, even when he’s sick. He got out of the carrier to watch the world go by. Nearly three hours of his favorite pastime. Even if he was the only drunk in the truck. 😉
Though today is smokey, you can see it is Autumn. Fires and bugs take heed: Winter is coming!
One-liner Wednesday brought to you by Linda G. Hill.

I can’t remember how it was I picked up this book and its sequels. Sorry. Even so, this is a fun apocalyptic read about a young woman trying to survive in a dystopian world with pandemics popping up here and there.
Maybe it is a bit more adventure than a person should read just before sleep. But it didn’t affect me too much.
This was a different take on the post-apocalypse world. A young woman finding her way in a world with few rules that all follow. Micka is a well-developed character with a few quirks of her own. She has lexical-gustatory synesthesia. That on top of learning about menstruation and sexual preference while trying to survive makes her a very interesting person to get to know. Just as she is getting to know herself.
Here is Wikipedia’s definition:
Lexical-gustatory synesthesia is a rare form of synesthesia in which spoken and written … Tip of tongue studies have shown that a word’s lemma may be responsible for eliciting a taste sensation, not its phonologic sound or spelling. Further … development and lead to the over-representation of the flavors of childhood foods.
I have known a couple of people who have variations of this. I know I have a mild case and it often helps me remember or recognize certain words or names that might slip my mind otherwise.
This book was a quick read. Now I have committed the second book because one isn’t enough. Give it a try. You might like it, too.

Fibro fog has found me again. So tired and achy. I’m sure I’ll be fine. But I couldn’t even find the energy to attend the writers group on zoom. Is it the change of seasons affecting me? We do have to drip faucets tonight as it reaches 32 tonight. Sleep well, world. See you tomorrow.
We have two newish chicks. The white hen is the mom. One baby is drinking water, the other is upper left. They are dark brown like their daddy.
Fall is happening. Yellow trees, yellow driveway.
By the way, working from my phone is easier now than laptop. Go figure!
Happy Sunday!
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “new/old.” Use either or both of the words “new and old” any way you’d like. Bonus points for starting and ending with either one. Have fun!
I do not like the new blocking system. I don’t know how to add pictures or anything else. Bring back the old system.
