NaBloPoMo Day 24: Good Things Redux

[untonuggan]

Because this is how I cope, y'all.

1. I have four hanks of yarn (one of which is very tiny, two of which are very big) drying on hangers in my bathroom.
2. skud made another post about fashion which is fascinating (note very photo heavy).
3. Friends, online and off, who are super duper amazing. If you are reading this, this means you!
4. Had a lovely date with my partner yesterday evening. We were too tired to see Thor 2 at 8:45, which...I blame walking in cold wind for? But anyway, we had good times and might see a movie sometime soon.
5. I got a rocking chair from Goodwill. It is my favoritest chair. It is the PERFECT height for me, and I can actually put my feet on the ground. I can also self-soothe and also if I start having venuous pooling I can rock and it helps with that too. WIN. (I might call her Gertie, I'm not sure though.)
6. I started washing my hair in baking soda, then rinsing it with water and then rinsing it again with vinegar or apple cider vinegar per lynnoconnacht 's recommendation and it is amazing. Admittedly I've been doing it for two days so far, but I am a convert already.
7. Talking to my nephews and brother on the phone.
8. My grandmother is coming to visit for six weeks starting in mid-December. She is 94 and crossing the Atlantic solo. I love my grandma so much. <3 <3 <3
9. I have been going for walks and spinning while I walk. This is working and increasing my cardio stuff and the amount that I spin. WIN.
10. I met someone while doing #9 who thought his daughter might like spinning, so I gave him a tiny bit of wool for her to play with and told him about YouTube instructional videos and also local yarn shops and building spindles from a CD and a dowel. :DDD spinning evangelism ftw.
11. I am researching doing historical interpreting as volunteering with spinning as my demonstration. It is still in a formative stage.

I love it when you get more than 10 good things :D

So, I read a post on amyherzogdesigns.com yesterday about making good fabric and also knitting faster and suddenly I wonder if I take an hour or two class to get input on knitting technique, would it help my wrists? I so need to knit.

Hmm....or maybe if you switched to Continental or something? Yes, I could see that helping maybe!

This is all awesome.

Thanks :D

*blushes and ducks head* It wasn't actually meant as a recommendation for anyone, more a discussion of "This is what I do and I'm happy it works for me", but I'm glad to hear it seems to be working for you too. ^-^

And they sound like lovely things. Yay for your grandmum coming for a nice, long visit and helping someone get into spinning! <3

Yay good things! I'm curious about the baking soda and vinegar thing - can you say a bit about what's so awesome about it? (It sounds way cheaper than buying expensive hair products all the time. Which I don't really, but still?)

[untonuggan]

I don't really have words right now, but will try to get back to this. I, um, dog grieving? No words. <3 lynnoconnacht wrote a really good post about it.
