I think one of the more stupid things about this bill is that people don't even get the full amount in their HSA at once. That $1k or $1500 gets split into 12 monthly payments and you HAVE to have a bronze or catastrophic plan you are paying for.

My MIL introduced me to turning old cards into gift tags, so now it is time to see what I've got in the tin as I wrap up these handmade family gifts in years old Amazon gift bags.

And so concludes my Christmas gift sewing projects that need to be shipped.
This pot holder is my first go at quilting something and I probably should have used a contrasting bias tape instead of matching the fabric, but all in all it turned out well!
14 total items since the end of October.

Then I start to get mad thinking about the Holodomor because it is another example of the USSR showing a lack of regard for the lives of Ukrainians.
Putin just continues the trend of Russian leaders fucking over Ukraine.
The building this bomb shelter in Chernihiv was in was destroyed this year.

These are photos I took inside the hospital at Pripyat where injured first responders from the Chernobyl accident were tended to.

My collection of creepy ass photos I took in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. The USSR waited more than a day to evacuate people from Pripyat, let alone tell the public about the meltdown.

I took this in May 2013, about 2 years after they started construction.
It was meant to last for 100 years of radiation containment and Russia fucked it up less than a decade into it's lifespan.

Start time: Around 10pm
Finish time: Just before 3am.
The snaps I used are probably not the best for this particular project for daily toddler wear. I'm also pretty sure it is going to be too big, but kids grow.
It's fine.
Time to sew something with cats on it.

It's now hours later & we're on the road back home. We went on with our plans & we took the kiddo to a place that "rocks" & the biggest independent bookstore in the world.
She said it was "the best day!"
That definitely makes it worth it, but I'm also not thrilled that my car smells like it does.

There is a Tyler Florence recipe for mashed potatoes that my husband insists on me using every Thanksgiving since I made them the first time.
A lot of dairy is involved.

Phase One of turkey is complete.
Now that she has cooked at 475° for 45 minutes to brown, she gets to hang out in 350° with covered breasts for another couple of hours until the thermometer goes off.
Smells delicious.
