Made some good blanket progress over the weekend 🧶 I’m liking this rib stitch, it’s interesting enough to not be totally boring but I’m still able to run on autopilot now that I’ve been working on it for a bit.
We’re in Pesto’s body horror era 🫠
Better that dead tissue falls off rather than staying on, though, right? Barf.
A new human addition to the family is as good a reason as any to buy more yarn 🧶
Making a Tunisian crochet blanket for my future niece :)
Pupdate: Pesto’s going in for round 2 of lasering on October 2.
It’s stupid that schools are so unevenly and chronically underfunded, but here we are. This website lets you search for classrooms in your area and donate to help kids who need it most!
I just donated to a 2nd-grade class in Guadalupe to help create a calming corner for kids to take a breather, read about working through their feelings, and have a calming moment without punishment for needing a “time out.”
Pesto’s tumor is growing back :(
Okay, now that I’ve had a moment to feel dramatic about it–
I hoped we’d have a little longer before we had to deal with this again. We have a follow-up appointment on Wednesday, so we’ll get some advice from the vet in a couple days. Trying to think of the positives… like look at this cute frowny face:
Checking in on my flowery neighborhood friends.
This is Baby Boots. She lives down the street and is tiny, cute, and very friendly!
Try to take a nice video of puppy snuggles and this happens >:[
Our little sassy gremlin 💗
I’ve been spotted.. and judged.
I’m just thinking about eggplant parmesan again.
It is a simple recipe, very straightforward, and not too many ingredients. Just takes a long time. I can handle “fancier” recipes that are like that. It also helped that that was the only thing I was actively cooking all afternoon. I’m not great at multitasking.
Someone’s got a little blep happening this morning…
I made a family recipe for Eggplant Parmesan yesterday. It took all afternoon but turned out amazing! I’m very proud.

I’ve been really loving my little project corner lately. I’ve got a bit of WIP-itis, but I like it that way. It makes it easy to do a little here and there and make progress while still enjoying myself.
What a treat to visit Pesto’s favorite place today: the beach!
My favorite part about working from bed is that I get to share co-working space with this little guy <3
Working from my “bed desk” this morning. Ben and I share our office, and he’s doing some big-time presentations at work this week. While he’s wowing his colleagues, Pesto and I are relegated to other areas of the house :)
