Good afternoonthing!

Eeeeeearly this morning, my new neighbors have arrived. I have not yet gone downstairs to introduce myself to them, but will do so sometime today.

Everyone is away this weekend, which has left me to my own designs. To this end I spent some time last night rearranging and cleaning the living room. I am still somewhat dissatisfied with it, but find it to be better than it was.

I am running laundry like woah, both mine and Spawn's.

Last night I did a Drunkblog on here, and it was quite enjoyable, especially with unl33t doing a watchalong with me. Next DB I do will probably be on Pluspora, at the suggestion of one of my Patreon patrons, to see if there's more engagement. More does not necessarily mean better, but a large part of starting the DBs was for communally shared entertainment, so it's worth experimenting with different sites.

Mostly, today is crocheting and watching The Blacklist as I do so. I've got a stopwatch app keeping track of my crocheting time, as it is a dragonfly blanket I am making on commission for someone who is insisting on paying me properly, and therefore I need to know how many actual hours it's taking me to make the thing. I'm currently 7 hours in and have 41 rows, which means I'm doing approximately 6 rows per hour; since this is a 6-row pattern repeat, it will make it really easy to total up if I lose the timer somehow. XD

I can't stop mentally rearranging this room. I feel like it would be best laid out if we had an L-shaped couch instead of these weird IKEA loungers. Maybe after I finally save up enough monies to get the car fixed I can think about something like that.

I feel incredibly mundane today.

Hello, Blisstopia.<3

How I love the mundane.

I can't seem to find a way I like the living room so I rearrange it every two years.

I wonder how much of my LR rearrangement tendency is because of a real search for optimal functionality, and how much is that my parents let me rearrange the living room basically whenever I wanted to as a kid and so frequent rearrangement feels really normal.

Just saying hi

Catching up on mornthings from the past few days, since I had a thoroughly enjoyable solo weekend road trip to see many of my favouritest people. I got to play many different roles - supportive friend at a beautiful memorial service, sister/daughter/aunt at childhood home, and enthusiastic entertainment for bestie who is going home to India for a couple months. My heart is full, and I’m thankful to be home.

Hope you got a chance to talk to the neighbors, and that they are easy-going. I’m also super excited to see the new dragonfly blanket when it’s finished!

Welcome home! I'm glad that the weekend trip was pleasant, even if it did include what sounds like was a sad occasion.

I will definitely be sharing the dragonfly blanket here on DW when it's done, because I can't put it on the Book of Face - it's going to be a Christmas present from one family member to another, and I don't want to spoil the surprise!

So, if I win the lottery before the end of the year, an appropriate birthday present would be a decent-amount gift card for IKEA?
