Stream of Consciousness Saturday, Run

Filed under: Blogging — 5 Comments

Run. Remember these? Ugh, what a pain. By the way, click the URL
to learn a fix.

In my world now, a run represents a dropped stitch in knitting. I’m still not very good at recovering the dropped stitch. I always look it up. Like at this YouTube:

Meanwhile, as our usual Saturday background noise goes, we spend the day watching disaster movies. The hoakier the better. Or the more watched, like Rampage and San Andreas.

The keyword of these shows is RUN! Usually the advice is far too late in an attempt to prevent panic. How do they think that will work? The actual disaster occurs and folks are running like chickens with their heads chopped off.

I think I’ll throw in yesterday’s Bitmoji:

Nearly forgot to give Linda credit for the prompt:

Finishing Friday

The center section of the Afghan is nearly finished. My son is holding it up to show how long it is. I do have one side panel nearly as long. I still need to make yet another panel then sew up the three parts. For this mid section I’ve been using a size K ChiaoGoo Tunisian cable hook. I’ll be glad when this is done. I don’t like working on something this big.
When I just can’t crochet another moment I’m working on another pair of Sneaker socks. I need another half inch of this arch part. Ribbing is beginning to be more fun since working Continental. These are ChiaoGoo Red-lace Circular Needles 2.

I don’t have a pattern for the Afghan. Just the basic Tunisian Crochet stitch. It is getting boring, but I think it’ll be warm.

This is what I’m using for the socks.

Have a great weekend!

Stream of Consciousness Saturday, mostly / at least

Filed under: Blogging — 4 Comments
September 9, 2023

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “mostly/at least.” Use one, use ’em both, use ’em any way you’d like. Bonus points if they both appear in your post. Enjoy!

I’m mostly feeling better. At least my fever is less than it has been. And mostly we have the Internet. Well, sort of. Tomorrow’s church service in Zoom will be the test. If not at least we can watch it on Facebook. Not as interactive as I like it, as you can chat with others in Zoom.

This next week I will start deleting and deciding if I want to go to a higher level on WordPress. I seem to be in delete mode for a lot of my programs. Heck, I need to start eliminating junk around the house, too.

Mostly WordPress. At least the motivation is there. Stay to see if you think follow-through will happen.

Yeah, pictures in my WP still work.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday, Chews, Choose

Filed under: Blogging — 4 Comments
September 2, 2023

Per Linda: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “chews/choose.” Use one, use ’em both, use ’em any way you’d like. Bonus points if you get ’em both in. Have fun!

Choosing between this and that can be difficult at best. Especially if you are not great at making choices. I will chew on a decision for hours, even seemingly easy selections. A salad or frozen veggies? Yogurt or cottage cheese, chocolate or caramel. Trying to be healthy makes the decision for me, sadly. And beyond that most preferences aren’t life or death. Most aren’t even resulting in monetary wealth or poverty. Yet, I can be frozen as if the wrong alternative will be the end of the world.

Others could already be chewing happily on their appetizers while I’m dazzled by the menu like a deer in headlights.

And we only go out once or twice a year! You’d think it would be easy. Just pick something!

This isn’t just a food thing. I need to call someone. Who to call, when to call, should I even call? Usually the day goes by and I realize I never called anyone. Every decision of my life seems of equal depth. I know it shouldn’t be that way. I know other people just move along doing life.

Me? Let me chew on it. I’ll let you know in my next life.😥

Thus Thursday

Just stopping by to say, hi. The internet is not yet up. The guy didn’t come to reinstall. So Tuesday maybe life will go back to something sort of normal.

No streaming. Just commercial TV. Lots of Rampage, San Andreas, Dr. Oakley.

They finally got our new landline up. Hopefully those who need the number got it. Let me know if I forgot you.

Have a great Thursday!

Isn’t it amazing how little honest communication comes out of companies supposedly dedicated to communication? (My husband has been on the phone texts and emails trying to get Internet and answers about when the service person would be here. ALL DAY FOR TWO DAYS! And the job won’t be done until Tuesday!)

Tuesday Tidbits

Somehow I am out of room for a picture. It was of the middle panel of the afghan. It stretched from my toes to my hips. It was to show how much fabric one Yarnspirations Caron Jumbo skein creates. That’s 12 oz./340 g. Or 595 yards. One more skein to finish the middle panel. Then I’ll get the side panels finished.

Another note. I’m ready to go analog. We spent the day getting rid of Hughes Internet. They have been untruthful. We’ve not been able to do Zoom or anything else since we joined them. Half the time, no Internet at all.

Now that we’re back with Century Link we had to get a new phone number. None of it works until Thursday or Friday. Ugh!

I’m so glad we have DVDs. And that I can do most things ever so uncomfortably, on my cell. Just tell my eyes and fat fingers how much we rely on them.

Picture my cartoon self on the floor with the caption ‘I can’t even!’

Per Linda:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “tune.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Something that has always fascinated me are the tunes we learned in toons.

Enjoy!
