Slice of Life - What are you up to today?

[Ponybookworm]

BC don't apologise!!! Not your fault life served you a steaming pile of bleugh xxx
I hope you get everything arranged to your satisfaction & Aster gets used to it xxx

Beth hope you have a great birthday xxx

I got the electricity topped up & a couple of other things!!! I had a go at a granny square but due to the yarn it ended up demented!!! Just because it looks pretty doesn't mean it's useful for stuff... Otherwise crochet practise going well

[BlackCurtains]

LOL I want to see this demented granny square

Today I'm taking it easy since I had to walk a lot yesterday. My back and legs are killing me. I also woke up with a super bad headache. Thankfully, it's gone now.

I got a letter in my door that it's time to renew the lease agreement, which means I need to get all this paperwork together. I always get so nervous for this even though I know I'm not doing anything wrong or shady. I still feel like there will a mistake somewhere and I'll get kicked out.

I also hate paperwork!

I have to get creative and make a bunch of meals to freeze, using all the random things we have...  and then food inventory and a shopping list.

I got a creative, not crochet, streak going & finished a story I'd shared with a pal in Discord DMs!!! That kept me awake far too long & I crashed out until this afternoon. Then I got a crochet & custom bug & made an animal mini!!! Just knowing I can do that with one means I can do it with others... This will be fun!!! (I'll need some orange yarn though)
Meanwhile I have everything I need to make a couple of things, but just don't feel like making them!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA give me cooking energy please!!!
Knitting wise I'm taking a break while I sew up what I've knitted so far. That's going quite slowly too...

BC yep if you need to rest, then rest. as for paperwork, especially the official kind, I HATE that with a passion!!!
Squirmy you & me both xxx

I spent a couple of hours repotting my plants this morning. Enjoying the fruit of my labour with a cup of tea and downtime right now before heading out for a walk in the sun. Everyone is talking about spring and we got a snow storm the other day! It's cold as heck as well, lol. Gonna binge watch Shetland when I come back in  .

[BlackCurtains]

Not feeling the best right now. I was eating trail mix before bed and because of my stomach disease, I'm very nauseous this morning.

My back is still bad especially the right side above my hip. I don't know why it hurts so bad, but I need to be careful not to twist my body. I have a numbing cream to put on it but it doesn't penetrate deep into the muscle.

My niece said she would help with my garbage tonight. We didn't get it out the other day because I was so worn out from doing stuff earlier. So I need to clean the litter and empty the small cans today.

The plastic tub I bought for the rat cage came yesterday. I haven't tried to fit it in yet, but it looks like it will fit. The handles jut out about an inch though. Anyway, my plan is to remove the bottom of the cage and set up the bin to hang and be the bottom of the cage. I'm not sure what I should use to secure it? I was thinking zip ties but the rats might be able to chew through that. So now I'm thinking metal wire, which I have plenty of. It won't be as neat or as easy as the zip ties though.

I sliced into my finger with a new kitchen knife yesterday    I wasn't sure how serious it was but my hubby took me to the ER and they patched me up, no stitches needed fortunately. They glued it, lol   

I can still paint ponies! But sculpting and rehairing will have to wait

Today I went to the store to buy catfood, ate at Five Guys for lunch, came home, cleaned cat vomit and vacuumed, and worked on my Best Wishes, Twilight, Twist and Paradise deflocks.  Then I ran out of Q-tips, which quite upset me, because I was just at the store!

[starscout]

I am an aunt now!!!

[Gator]

Congratulations Starscout!

[Griffin]

I am an aunt now!!!

Congrats!

I am an aunt now!!!

Congratulations!! 

[BlackCurtains]

Congrats!

So the tub I bought for my cage is too small, which is weird because I measured the bottom of the cage and it was 14L x 20W and that is supposedly what the bin is, so ???

I'm thinking now... to cut out the plastic pan that came with the cage and attach the bin to it on the bottom, making a pit. A rat pit, if you will. I don't know. It's all screwed up now because the pan is too small.

I need to airbrush some ponies today too.

[Ponybookworm]

Starscout congrats!!!
BC bummer that it's too small!!! It's a lot like when I was getting baking pans for the air fryer & had to sort them out!!! The too big ones went to the swap table at coffee morning, where the oven owners snapped them up!!! Also, take care of yourself xxx
Gator the deflocks sound fun, though the cat vomit doesn't xxx
Griffin ouch!!! Glad you got treated!!!
Beldarna too right you relaxed after doing that job xxx

Worked on dye part, then paint part (with bead part in between) of challenge Ponies (two: a Mum & Baby). Will check if I can spray today as one paint seemed to take ages to dry... (spraying wet paint = bad idea)
Also working through knitting projects & slowly doing more crochet.
HATE clock change!!! Just when I thought I might get a decent sleep schedule it comes & messes things up!!! Grrr...
Chore-wise I washed me!!! I cleaned my hair & flannelled down. I washed my sleeping bag!!! And I washed my dirty clothes!!! Just underwear to do...

[Griffin]

Thanks PBW

Yeah I'm not a fan of the clock change either. Although I love how late it gets dark now. But I have a hard time going to bed early enough as is and the longer evenings won't help.

Spring storms have brought a lot of snow. The snow was almost completely gone and the streets were dry but guess we'll continue with this winter for a little longer! I don't really mind even though I'm looking forward to spring, I love snow and I have some favourite winter clothes, it will be nice to be able to wear them a couple of times before I stash them away for months.
