Well, I ordered a different thread to try so the next necklace starts as soon as that arrives. I maybe could/should inventory my beaded Christmas kits before I order more. Just to make sure I don't have any *more* duplicates.

The other half got his first cataract surgery taken care of this morning; we'll do the other one next week. The surgery went well; pre-op was stressful for him. I want sleep now but instead I am reviewing this draft and outline.

I just wanted to let you know because your vocal love of it made me feel SO GOOD! In addition to the whole "for democracy" part, I mean.

It won't get sent out quite as fast because I don't have it done and on hand, but I have all the mats and will make it the focus project! Just have to sign off on the e-mail officially for you to get the notification, etc.

So this is the point where I will let you know that I did toggle the box for "would be willing to do a second for the runner up bid," which I checked and was yours.

Yeah, there would definitely be interest in that! I know you said you've made a note but if you follow the main auction Bluesky they'll also tweet when sign ups open. It's been so fulfilling to be involved in.

I will second encouragement! There's an astrobiologist consult in this year's, along with an epidemiologist and a few medical ones. But yeah, it's every 2 years because there's a LOT of back-end work.

(We got engaged at Old Faithful, because I am a geyser nerd who will camp out at them (not that you need to for that one) and I pulled the high/low temps from there for our first year of marriage and am doing a temperature blanket out of them with custom colors.)

I may also cross stitch, at least until the point where it seems like a really bad idea based on the amount of counting required.

Okay, it is time for tipsy browse Pinterest and Etsy until we walk to the top of the hill to watch the fireworks. Which won't be in double vision this year! Progress! Honestly last year he had to drive me too so it's progress on two fronts.

I currently have Amazon tabs open with mini Perler bead equivalents so uh. That's how this is going right now. SOMEONE needs to finish his tabs so we can go for a walk because I'm just killing time in dangerous ways.

Once again reminded that I want to win the lottery just so I can buy all the crafting patterns on Etsy and the supplies to do things and just. Craft. And listen to audiobooks. And play video games. I guess maybe run and travel some too.

I use the small now (they didn't have it when I got my first one) and it's pretty good! Even the large size is workable, because it mostly is about how far the band sticks out behind your head, which can hide under hair.

Like they are very comfy to wear (although there was a short break-in period for me to get used to them) and out of the way, and it's great for background noise while working, etc.

If you watch, they do sales sometimes! And the nice thing are there are places now were you can find them to do a demo, so you can see how they work for you. I really love them, not just for running.

I use bone conduction headphones! So I can still hear a lot of what's around me, as long as the music isn't too loud. Shokz are the ones I've used for like ...5+ years at this point.

<3 I was telling my sister about how she should do this class and, I quote, "it sounds like it would be a lot more fun than learning <grantwriting> from <current non-profit director>." I think it was the Star Trek references that sealed the deal.
