When I spin/knit/crochet I *do* end up with both human and cat hair in my projects, so perhaps it isn’t that strange…

Oh, but maybe the actual compliment was about being brave? Sorry lady at the Hy-Vee in Iowa for besmirching your compliment for over a decade 😅

Oh, she doesn’t have aphantasia. I meant that I see her, and the images of her art in her mind and the space she’s imagining and then just describe what I’m “seeing” — but if you have aphantasia you wouldn’t see the images within images to do that.

I passed out, but I did make a convincing dead body 😅 (possibly a bit *too* method there). They got an actual dummy (instead of this dummy) for the rest of the season Anyway, started writing plays instead of being in them — so far (unless I start brawling in bars à la Kit Marlowe) I’ve lived! 2/2

There have been cases of measles around Wellington recently and I couldn’t remember if I had two doses (if I had them at all) as a kid — I fall in the generation where people were kinda 🤷🏻‍♀️ about both vaccinating against measles and record keeping.
