I always think that I've made a mess of my life but spending several days with (beloved) children has never validated my choices so much. I'm exhausted. I could never do this

An afternoon with two young boys and I'm exhausted. How do parents do it

First 30+ degree day of the season tomorrow fml

Tales of the Shire has made me want to go foraging like nothing else but I know absolutely nothing about it

Any tips for recovering from burnout? Asking for a friend

Why do I have to go to work I should be in Japan

I really want this to be my Swishy Skirt Summer

Nothing truly like a shower and fresh pyjamas

It's 11pm and I want cheesecake SO BAD

I cannot believe that it's impossible to get decent mac and cheese around here. I've had better Kraft dinners

Maybe not employing Etsy witches is where I've been going wrong my whole life

It's not even 8am and I need to log off, what the actual fuck

I bought myself a hobbity outfit because I have nothing else in my life

Join us on Wrangel Island for a hearty slice of dog pemmican and some eyeball cocaine, hope to see you there!

I finished my first crochet blanket that I've been working on for around two years. It's crap but it's mine and it's done hooray

Went to see my doc today and she's happy with me so I'm happy. Took the day off work and the yarn for my new project has arrived, everything's coming up Jesshouse

I 100%ed the achievements for Tales of the Shire and I'm so sad. Considering whether to start a new game...

Sometimes I explore back up options for what might happen if my life suddenly imploded, and the knowledge that I could successfully live those other lives is so comforting. This girl is gonna be okay

what the eat pray fuck, elizabeth gilbert

Man I wish I could dress more like a Hobbit

Look at my sartorial excellence today

We've had extremely high winds for the past couple of days (normal for this time of year) and I honestly think I'm losing my damn mind

I'm turning 40 next year and I have no idea what to do for it. But what I do know is that I will not be in this country because I just couldn't stand it

The beautiful thing about WFH is the myriad opportunities for time theft. I'm doing a mountain of laundry plus finishing off a crochet scarf that been sitting there for months

Hey, does anyone have any recs for cosy PC games? I want to get Tiny Bookshop but I'm interested to hear what you like

I missed you all so much. Not for the first time I curse the fact that I was born at the bottom of the world

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

Anyway: I have sunk way too much time into Tales of the Shire and I love it and I never want to leave

The modern dilemma: I hate social media but all my friends live in my phone and I don't want to lose them

Instead of going to work today I stayed home and played video games, and it was an Excellent Decision

To withdraw your first book, in particular, from a prize is a very big deal - and not something to be taken lightly. If you like the look of any of these, please consider buying them and show the authors some love

Food sucks at the moment and every second I have to spend thinking about it drives me even closer to the edge

Okay, I am quite enjoying Tales of the Shire, it's cute and fun

Okay ngl I'm excited for Coyote vs Acme

Tune for the weekend - can't wait to scream this one out in December youtu.be/tep9uGsVzK4?...

Ada goes into surgery today to get a lump removed from her neck. We're being proactive, but it's still an invasive procedure. If you'd like one of my reverse mermaid pins, today is a good day to grab one: thekroog.bigcartel.com/product/reve...

I started a new colouring book last night and I am dogshit at it. Why am I, a full grown adult, bad at colouring?!
