Yarn over slip stitch in back loop only has now replaced reverse single stitch as my most hated crochet stitch. I’m still not sure I’m doing it right.😂
I might have the ribbing of this hat done by next winter.🤣

A crocheted red square with a a crochet hook. Seriously it’s only a square. It’s supposed to eventually be a really long rectangle that fits around my head. It took me 5 hours, video tutorials, numerous screw ups and having to take the whole thing apart many times to figure this new stitch out. Next time I’m just gonna make the rim with double crochet in back loop only stitches cause this is taking forever. A crocheted red square with a a crochet hook. Seriously it’s only a square.

A black capped chickadee with wings outstretched upwards to resemble the Star Wars Rebel logo. It’s similar and likely based on what Minnesota did with the loon. The logo is circular and has a green background that almost makes it look like the chickadee’s wings have green as well.

My other cat is occasionally quite tolerant, sometimes not at all so it’s a toss up here.🤣

If looks could kill your ghost would be scooping poop out of its’ shoe tomorrow morning.

Had some partially finished projects to work on I found. Next up the main part of what I’m guessing was going to be a Siamese cat based on color lol.
Two crocheted cat hats. They’re crocheted rectangle hats that form “ears” when you put them on. I like to add pink triangles in the corner to emphasize “cat ears.” One is an adult’s hat & is mottled grey in color with pink “ears.” The other is a child’s hat & is black in color with pink “ears,” a pink upside down triangle nose with 3 white whiskers coming out from each side of the nose.

A local library up here made that map unsurprisingly lol.
This map from one of our local news stations is less nice & probably an indication that you may want more than 3-4 Golden Books.😬😆

I’m in the 3-4 Books range.😆

So, in case anyone wants, here’s a video of my TNR semi-feral Spooks jumping up onto my lap for the first time ever last week.
My large & in charge torti Sandi is good at making Spooks uncontrollably jealous. I’ve used that jealousy to help gain Spooks’ trust in me.

A Facebook post from The Brunswick & Topsham Water District that reads: “❄️🚰 PSA from Your Friendly Neighborhood Water District 🚰❄️ This weekend’s forecast is basically “Welcome to the Arctic, population: your pipes.” Before Jack Frost auditions for a role inside your plumbing, take a moment to: • Let faucets drip like they’re spilling tea • Open cabinet doors so warm air can mingle (pipe party!) • Keep your thermostat steady — your pipes prefer consistency over drama Frozen pipes are no fun. They don’t burst into song… they just burst. Help us help you avoid an accidental indoor skating rink. Stay warm, stay safe, and remember: the only thing we want frozen this weekend is your leftover holiday cookie dough.”

Yeah the Maine X Community trying to stir shit up again. No idea what, if anything, will come of it. Something to be aware of & be on the lookout for any planted agitators.
You’d think they could at least come up with a better name though. Sounds like either a floor cleaner or a deodorant.

It’s been rough! I asked my Dr. how to stress dose for the downfall of democracy & he told me to let him know for himself(he doesn’t have AI) if I figured it out.🫠
Haven’t had a crisis or needed to use my emergency injection yet so I figure I must be doing something right even if I feel like crap.🥴
A meme that kinda looks like a white cat sitting down like a human confused but if it’s supposed to be a cat it’s a really weird ass looking cat. The words “Can’t tell if low cortisol is causing anxiety OR The anxiety is making my cortisol low,” is above the meme.

Seriously! We are not okay.😭
Side by side pictures of George W. Bush fighting with a poncho during Trump’s first inauguration. The words “I’m as confused managing my cortisol as George W. Bush is with this poncho,” are above the pictures.

The calm after the snowstorm.
Got about 15” of snow total with this storm.

#Snowstorm
Trees, mostly pines, with snow clinging to their branches, the sun shining on them with a blue sky background. There are also power lines with snow clinging to them. Had a few very close calls but I have not lost power so far.

There may have been some regrets last night in choosing to sleep outside & not inside where one would not have had to plow through shoulder deep snow to get a late night snack.
Silly young men. I begged them to stay in but they were having none of it.😹
