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.
Category: Blogging
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.
Watching Deep Space Nine. I hear, ‘…in linear life, one day builds on another…’ I wonder what Star Trek thought of 2020.
One-liner Wednesday seems easy unless you can’t find a good one-liner. If you favor novels it is very difficult. But fun!
That is all. Recovering files from last novel and setting up for next one. Maybe a lot more than editing. At least I’m not freaking out about a lost book like I have been since my computer crashed. The light at the end of the tunnel isn’t a train of doom.
That is all. Just checking in.
What container is bottomless yet too full?
Kali is a conundrum. She seems to be either anorexic or bulimic. She will refuse to eat for a day or so. Finally, she eats grass. Feels better. Then can’t get enough food, even dog food. I thought it was a result of her favorite snack, kitty litter. But with four of us watching and my brother being an excellent delitterer we have eliminated that eliminated issue. She definitely doesn’t like dog food. Dry or wet. But she is sneaking into the dry cat food and will only eat the wet cat food. We only just noticed it today, the dry cat food grazing. Children are much easier for me than a dog. Cats are easier than dogs.
Google has many suggestions but none work out for us. The baby gate won’t work the rooms we feed them in are without doorways. We don’t have a cat tree, wish we did but don’t have the money to buy one. The dog can jump as high as the cats. They are all older animals so shouldn’t be doing that anyway. The cats are grazers except for the night wet feed we do in our own defense so we can get a good night’s sleep. Mighty Dog or other wet dog foods don’t interest Kali. She loves what her feline siblings are having.
The vet didn’t seem to have any answers for us. We know her teeth are old and maybe a part of the problem. Heck, my six months of lock-down were more tooth problems than a pandemic, so I understand if that is the issue. But the vet didn’t have much to say. She seemed to think Kali is healthy and I am sure even back in March when we took her, she was already a faux kitty.
So containers of food, containers of water, containers of kitty litter, and Kali the weirdest container of all, all are confusing as to how and why. Still, she is a container of love most of all.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โcontainer.โ Use the word โcontainerโ any way youโd like. Or think about a container of some kind and write about it. Enjoy!
You know the week is crazy when you wake up on Wednesday but KNOW it is Saturday.
My husband got one cataract removed Monday. So yes, a lot of stress for a ten-minute operation that makes a big difference in his life. For me, it is just the stress and not the wonderful visual acuity. And how would I know the difference of days? Retired. Bingeing Netflix. No cartoons on Saturday. I just thought the feeling was a Saturday feeling. Maybe this fits with the What Day Is It Anyway? prompt? By the way, he’s fine and now can’t wait to get the other eye done.

One-liner Wednesday is one of the best prompts out there. Thank you, Linda!
-Tion is pronounced ‘shun’. It does not rhyme with LION.
It’s just more added to life’s mysteries, don’t you think?
Beyond the above, I haven’t a notion what I am going to write. I am feeling so tired today. Exhaustion. My brain is going through a lot of worries and thoughts. Agitation. My computer is still broken so I have to borrow my husband’s or use my Fire or tablet. Complications of computerization. Though the sky was clear with clouds today, there wasn’t a lot of smoke, but still, I am feeling congestion. It could be just autumn chilling the air or pollination.
Galaxycon.com is having online conventions. My friends and I are attending where we can. This morning I got to watch an interview with Number One and Q of Next Generation.
LoomaHat.com held a chat later on. Loomafication?

Where did this week go? Seems like just yesterday was Sunday. Today was actually the first day we had blue skies. It is been so smokey from the fires in California and Oregon.
Since my computer broke down I’ve been doing everything on the phone or on my Kindle Fire. It is much harder to blog and certainly harder to put in pictures or make something interesting. But we’re working on getting a laptop working for me again. I’m trying to get ready for NaNo and all kinds of things like that so–
I just wanted to stop in and say everybody’s fine here and I hope everybody out there is doing okay. Stay safe and try to find breathable air.
Found this one scrolling on FaceBook:
“Shame say that because I am flawed, I am unworthy and unacceptable Grace says that althoughI am flawed, I am still precious and worthy”

One-liner Wednesday is an easy fun prompt brought to us by Linda G. Hill. See how it works HERE.
Child’s Hat
I just can’t stop with the cable stitches or the decreases using the methods I describedย few days ago, here.
Over the week end while thinking about bugging out and realizing that I didn’t want to leave any of my knitting supplies behind. I ran across a hat I started a while ago. I used the orange adult KB loom seen in the photo. But my new love of the decreased crown had me going crazy. That white yarn is the bumpy homespun stuff. Iย could only decrease one level without it getting tight. So I thought it would be fun to transfer to half the pegs on the flexee loom. Do you ever find yourself in a project that you felt you couldn’t find your way out? Yeah, this hat caused so much actual pain and mental strain I nearly frogged it. I had to use a combination of cable needles to hold the stitches. I transferred them to the flexee. At first I got them on the wrong side. I had a plan to reverse as I went but that didn’t work out–I think it was because I forgot as I worked what my next plan was. Suddenly all the stitches were on the Flexee, even though wrong side out. But I worked the decreases anyway.Inside out! My hands weren’t ready for it. It hurt a lot to work from that direction. But I am proud of the end result!
This hat will go to Hugger Hats, the charity. I hope it helps keeps someone’s head warm this winter.
I mentioned thinking of bugging out; still not ready and hope I don’t have to. We seem pretty safe here, I think. But our Writing Group was cancelled as our friends in Paisley have had to bug out. That is a couple hours away from here, but still it seems Oregon is on fire nearly everywhere. My son has his bug out ready. I’m getting more organized so I think tomorrow I’ll set up the first emergency bag ready and set things up so that if there is time yarny stuff can go along with foods and electronics. And art supplies. and books and journals and music and keyboard and recorders, There’s a reason I have so much stuff, I like doing lots of thihngs. How do people narrow it down?
Thank you all for thoughts and prayers for our west coast and for me and my family. I am so grateful that my adult children are well. My brotherย and husband and I are doing well.
But I am writing this on my tablet because my computer keeps going out. We think it is a bad charging cord so we’ll try to get a new one soon. Meanwhile, I can barely read what I’m typing. I hope you can decipher it all. I hope life is treating you all well in spite of it being 2020.
