It’s been really nice! But wow, I am so out of practice.

Finally heard back about the wedding blanket I’m making, too! So I’ll probably order the yarn for that this week.

I think it took 2-3 months to get back up to speed, but I eventually dropped it because I had to be able to use public computers occasionally. My brain couldn’t hold the two layouts in tandem.

I never used to cry at movies/TV/books, but I have become such a sap over the years that I was crying and then laughing at how much I was crying. I think the series does the books justice, as much as a TV show can. It’s a lovely coming of age story that has sentimental value to me, and I wasn’t disappointed with it.

- I got a big raise at work (nearly 10%).
- I started a successful bike camping meetup, and I went on four bike camping trips.
- I got back into crocheting.
- I redid our guest room into a hobby/craft room.
Edit:
- My partner and I threw a commitment ceremony/party, and it was a blast! Not sure how I forgot this one, lol.

I got a ton of work done on my crochet project (baby blanket for my SIL), played video games, and watched a bunch of TV.
- We put an offer in on a house, it was accepted, so I guess we’re going to be moving, barring anything too expensive in the inspection on Monday. This is my first home-buying experience!

autumn Link ParentI’m so glad you’re enjoying the series! It’s definitely a hidden gem in the sci-fi world. The later books are written even better, as the author gets more comfortable. :)I’m so glad you’re enjoying the series! It’s definitely a hidden gem in the sci-fi world.

I still do get fancied up for very special occasions (light makeup, nice earrings, and a necklace), but for the most part I shoot for utility/practicality in how I live. I also love thrifting and buying used in general, which goes a long way.

We've always said we wouldn't move from our current place unless it was for a better location, and this definitely checks all those boxes. I'd also be able to park my travel trailer there, since the driveway is much flatter than our current one.
I currently have zero stake in our current place. (I pay rent.) So this will be my first home-buying/owning experience.

I’ve ridden bikes for fun/fitness/utility for most of my life, but an ebike is the only thing that has really felt like a car replacement. I do wish they’d make an affordable tandem ebike. We still use the car when it’s two of us going somewhere, and my partner doesn’t want to buy his own ebike.

I had to rip out all most all of the work on my big project recently because I goofed and was using the wrong stitch for 75% of it. Oops.

I generally enjoy exploration and resource management games with some life sim stuff thrown in. Definitely not a fan of any rogue like games.
