I've seen (and think I prefer to stripes) ones that are made in granny squares with the high, low, and average for the week.

 

For those of you who have done broomstick lace, how much yarn does it take up. I'm working on a different lace project, and it seems like I'm going to have extra yarn (I panicked about 1/3 of the way through and bought three more skeins). I'm plotting what to do with the extra and want to try a broomstick lace project, but I'm not sure how much I'll need.

Are you an accessibility remediator? I feel like they are the ones who like PDFs the most.

Just finished The Vanished Birds by Simon Jimenez.

Not too far into Half a King by Joe Abercrombie and also about to start Best Served Cold by the same author as my commute audio book.

"end up staying awake staring at the ceiling all night anyway."

This is still better for you than not resting. There's been a tumblr meme going around that the MythBusters and Deadliest Catch crossover episode showed that just laying down and closing your eyes even if you do not fall asleep resulted in huge gains in cognitive function over not resting.

I call it apartment gravity. The gravity in my apartment is just way way higher than the rest of the world. What can I do but sit or lay around.

“What the fuck is wrong with me”

I think the hyper individualism of the US (and from what I understand Europe but to a lesser degree) leads to it being hard to receive validation or appreciation and harder to verbalize a want for it.

I’m sorry that you’re feeling under appreciated. I bet that you do make people’s lives better and that several people around you quietly appreciate you.

Thanks for bringing this whole topic up.

I left healthcare (physical therapy) because between this and how pharmacy is going, I have no hope for the future of healthcare.

Loved it. It was actually a re-read for me, but felt like a good choice for the season.

I just finished an audio book version of The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher.

I'm in the middle of reading The Vanished Birds by Simon Jimenez.
