Baseball fan. Spends too much time discussing how to fix the Colorado Rockies. Loves cats. Grows tomatoes successfully at altitude. Collects way too many things. Posts about all that and random thoughts, but mostly likes and replies to other posts.
Generalize your skeets. What's your most typical, most average skeet?
Rockies baseball sucks but look at this cross stitch I'm doing! And here are my cats!

I feel like shit and everything is going wrong in my life. Anyway, look at this picture of seeds/cross stitch related objects/flowers/bugs/mushrooms/cats!

Christ, these assholes (who might be human or canine) are keeping me from writing books/comics, which are for sale. Please buy them, we are so very broke and tired. Also, butter.

It's very cold across most of the country, so to counteract that, quote-post a favorite photo from a summertime baseball game.
Spring training, 2025. Not exactly summer, but the weather was just so beautiful, especially since I was coming from a CO winter.

To rejuvenate the baseball spirits with spring training starting soon, quote skeet this with a random baseball player.

Three stitches short of exactly half done with the current #crossstitch project.
I'm 99.44% sure the darkest stitches in some of the green panels are wrong, but they were among the first areas I did when I was getting used to the symbol set. I will fix them up later.

Went to Georgetown for a year and was in a class (and discussion section!) with Patrick Ewing. He wasn't there much.
Also rode in the elevator with him after class a time or two. His backpack was at the top of my head.

People who leave their cart in the middle of the grocery aisle while they wander halfway down the aisle looking for something. For crying out loud, take your cart with you! It gets lonely!
Let’s air those grievances. I want to hear your pettiest gripes on this the holiest of days.

Disinterested: no dog in this fight
Uninterested: couldn't care less.
(And it's couldn't care less, because if you could care less, you wouldn't care as much as you do!)

Grievance: those handles always, ALWAYS come unglued and the bag full of stuff either tears or falls to the floor because the remaining handle can't handle (so to speak) the weight inside alone.
I do like the paper bags with handles some stores give you, but admittedly I don’t know if this is actually better for the environment.

You just died.
The sixth photo in your phone gallery is what killed you.
Yeah, that's about right. If you're a Rockies fan, you understand.

As others have said: Don't.
Given that it's probably way too late for that, here's some of the stuff that I've seen work on such occasions: 1/17

Latest cross stitch piece finished. I didn't realize this pattern had as much confetti as it does (that's completely on me), so while I like how it turned out, I really was more in the mood for something more straightforward. 1/2

I need to cross stitch this.
If you’re not suffering, it’s not baseball.

I think I've had enough of baseball for a long, long time.
