What I'm Doing Wednesday

yarning yay
I went to yarn group on Sunday and there was such good turnout, even though several people couldn't make it. It was really nice. I learned that one of my kickbunny customers has a puzzle game where her cat pushes a button to request certain toys, and she requests her kickbunny ALL the time! So heartwarming! She also sent a pic of the cat lying with her head on the bunny. Too sweet! I also gave five hats and a scarf to a yarn group member who volunteers at BoysTown/Boysville (a shelter for kids--with residential family situations, not dormitories). The yarning will go straight to the kids, not their thrift shop, so that's doubly wonderful. Also, I found a missing safety eye that I'd searched high and low for. Not high enough, apparently, as it was ON my workbench, not on the floor despite having clearly heard it bounce!
yarning boo
The reversible doll pattern I was using to make niece's xmas gift has a major flaw in the pattern & I'm really pissed off about it. I could wing it and make it work, or else I could just frog it and make something else for her entirely. Undecided.

healthcrap
still under the weather. More nausea. I quit coffee, because it was a direct nausea trigger, and it is so weird to be caffeine-free; it's torn up my whole morning routine. As far as the insomnia, I was going to sleep around midnight (boo!) and waking for hours in the madrugada (double boo!), only to sleep til ten once I finally drifted off. Then the clock change knocked me back onto schedule, I hope. The morning nausea continues, though. And today I felt so rotten I actually napped for ninety minutes. Weird.
( rl gah )
mercury retrograde
starts this Friday in Sagittarius, then moves into Scorpio in about ten days, IIRC. At least this year it ends before the Yuletide deadline instead of being dead on it & crashing the AO3 servers. Fun times. Mars is also in Sagittarius, as of yesterday, so our tendency to behave like the arrow (not the archer, the *arrow*) zooming through spacetime is super heightened. Try to pace yourself & refrain from jumping to conclusions.
I hope all of y'all are doing well! <333
