Nothing huge today. Napped a lot. Two more max length lines! Snuggly kitties~~~
Also some minecraft but mainly I'm up stupid late due to getting sucked into reading orz orz orz self whyyyyy
tyger) wrote2025-11-08 04:52 am I really didn't think I'd get there today, but I got to max length! Only one line, but I am not even slightly unhappy about that, just. Wow. (I only did four lines, so like. It was WAY closer than I thought, I guess...)
I'm definitely getting a lot faster than I was even a week ago, though; first time through doing more than two lines when they were nearing/at max length was just... not achievable in an afternoon and evening. Today, I did two in the afternoon, two in the evening, and was done just after 10pm. (So of course I played some minecraft and lost track of time but that is a different issue.)
Other than that, nothing interesting really. I AM getting through thread nicely, though I'm still on partially-used stuff and that... may not change by the end of this direction. There's just. There's a lot of it. Main reason I might get into the whole skeins is simply because some of the colours are too dark for the fabric, so they're hard to see and thus make the pattern look weird. It is not a fading into the background piece of work, hahaha!
tyger) wrote2025-11-07 02:51 am Okay so I was stupid tired last night and TOTALLY FORGOT about the electrical problem we had! One of the light switches in the bathroom stopped working, which is always a super annoying thing, but in this case it got stuck on.
( Ramble )
Other than that, nothing exciting today. Approaching max length on the blanket again! Probably won't get to it tomorrow, but maybe the day after? Will see how it goes, basically.
tyger) wrote2025-11-06 04:52 am Pretty straightforward day today! Went for a walk with Mama, and then worked on the blanket!
And then some minecraft, and then I read for a little while and then ???? it 4am. Again. SIGH. I never learn...
tyger) wrote2025-11-05 03:54 am Nothing super interesting today, really. I cleaned the bathroom! I did a bunch of lines on the blanket! That's about all though, hahaha.
Not entirely sure how it got so late, though... It was only 2 last I checked... :/

Finished the first direction! AND started the next direction, which includes removing the basting as I go!
Aaaaa it looks SO NICE with the diamonds, I'm so pleased!!! :D :D :D
Current thinking is whether or not I add the scale details will depend on the weather, more than anything - yesterday was warm enough I was thinking I might be wishing I had it instead of my doona, but there was a cool change, and today is uh. Well. Early winter temperatures again. So if it's still cold once I get to the end, I'll probably add the details, and if not I'll go straight to doing the border so I can use it.
Can always add the details later, anyway, so it's no big deal either way really! I think I will add them at some point, unless something super weird happens and I run out of thread. (Chances of that: extremely low.)
Other than that... Mama bought a rug today? Cats are extremely interested in this, mainly in the scratching department... Luckily Mama realised this would be the case and it's a cheap, acrylic rug, so while it'll be annoying if they destroy it at least it won't be expensive....
Anyway I should uh. Go the fuck to bed. Yes. >>;;;;

I'm still easily tired, and recovering in that way, but the actual headcold part of this is all but over, which is so nice. I did washing! I was able to actually hang it all out AND bring it inside! AND I went for a (short) walk with Mama as well. :D :D :D
I also did three more lines on the blanket, and then I stopped because if I'd kept going I would've kept going until I finished this direction, and I would've ended up working on it until 2am or something. Given the time, I probably should have just done that anyway, rather than going 'hmm it's only 10:30, let's play Minecraft for a bit then'. Whoops. >>;; I tried?
Anyway, will definitely finish this direction tomorrow, which is great! :D May or may not start the next direction, it'll depend on how long it takes and how I feel. Still, exciting!!! :D
tyger) wrote2025-11-02 03:44 am I actually slept last night! It was SO GREAT, and I had SO MUCH MORE BRAIN today!!!
However, still not actually over this shit, and felt kinda crappy at times. But so much better than yesterday omfg. I did nap a lot though, I'm still somewhat sleep deprived.
But even so I did three more lines on the blanket, so this direction will be done SOON. Sooooon. It's so close to done!!! (And then I got distracted and suddenly 3am and aaaargh. Whoops.)
But now back to bed with me, yes! >:

I think I'm starting to get better! Hopefully, anyway.
I had a little extra energy this afternoon, so I thought I'd do some work on the blanket... but stretching it out and drawing a couple of lines on absolutely wiped me out, which isn't. Actually. That encouraging.
But! After I napped for a while and had dinner I was able to actually do the stitching! It's definitely easier than the drawing, which is... well, Mama thinks it might be all the leaning over and stuff that was exhausting? Not sure, but hey, it's something!
I'm also less stuffed up, which IS a good sign! Not sure if it's because I keep forgetting to drink, though... Still, hopefully my nose will heal a bit if I'm not blowing it every two seconds...
And I'm up later than I meant to be because reading, mostly, hahaha. But still! I feel less exhausted than I did last night, which I'm hoping is a good sign!
spiralsheep) wrote2025-10-29 09:33 pmtyger) wrote2025-10-30 01:37 am Still sick!!! It sucks. Still haven't been sleeping properly, either, which I'm guessing is part of the problem! :/ Bodies, why.
I did have a brainwave and realise that the library probably had ebooks of tkingfisher's, so I read A Sorceress Comes To Call today. Not my favourite of hers, but definitely fun! (Not sure what my fav is, but probably Digger. Hard to say! The romance side-plots in a lot of her adult novels leave me fairly puzzled, is the thing, and this one had a lot of them. This is of course an ace-aro thing and not a reflection on her writing!)
Really not much other than that, though. Did do better about laying down a lot, which the reading is very helpful for, so I've had some more energy, but I doubt that's going to translate into being able to sleep so... Bleh.

Yup, definitely sick. It sucks!
It's not bad but it's gross in a 'can't concentrate on anything' sort of way. Very annoying. Sitting up long enough for my hair to dry was also pretty difficult, but at least I'm cleanish now. (Do not stay totally clean for any length of time given the nose, bleh.)
Anyway, back to bed for me! I slept really badly last night which is weird for me when I'm sick, so I guess we'll see how that goes...? Bodies, why so annoying.

Probably have a headcold, it's very annoying. :/
But! I did do four lines on the blanket today, which is pretty good! :D One of the three panels is TOTALLY DONE for this direction!!!! Very exciting, yesssss. More tomorrow!
tyger) wrote2025-10-27 03:20 am Nothing huge today either, though I did go for a walk with Mama. One of my stupid clickypet sites keeps going down though, which is annoying.
Also the blanket is going well! :D Lines are now at the point where they're getting smaller again eeeeee :D :D :D
