We went out last night. We left the house at 7:00 pm, on the first of February wearing sneakers, jeans, sweaters, and hoodies. I was also wearing a scarf, but less for warmth and more for “attitude”. It was cold and damp and a little bit foggy, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. Waiting for the bus [...]

Aside from being hot and miserable through most of it, at least. Accomplished the knitting of a heel in a toe-up sock. Apparently the 37th time is the charm. Actually, it’s still not perfect.

We finally made it out on Saturday and got much-needed groceries. Sunday we had a much-needed trip [...]

It’s 4:30 pm. I left work an hour ago. I’ve been home about an hour (I work close to home). I feel like an idiot for having left early because despite the fact that it’s been snowing pretty steadily since around 11:30 this morning it’s still not much. Mostly, things are wet. There isn’t even [...]
