🧶💙 #knitsky Coworker set up the bear and bunny as being left behind by his kids' injured elf on his return to the north pole tonight. 💙💙💙

#knitsky 🧶💙 got the Pooh Bear head knit between work tonight. This partucular pattern has a lot of shaping... and seaming... and I don't love seaming. Maybe I'll knit his little red sweater next, and move onto seaming the head after that.

Next up for coworker emotional support animals is a Pooh bear for our newest technician. Thank goodness Claire Garland (of Dot Pebbles Knits) did a Winnie The Pooh pattern series this last year! #knitsky

#knitsky This coworker didn't pick an emotional support animal for himself, but asked if he could get animals for his kids instead. Here they are, monogrammed by request to prevent fighting over who gets which.

Coffee, audiobook, knitting and resetting my clock on my last night off before starting my next 7 on.

My opposite on nights just texted and asked where I get my Deathwish Coffee K-cups because he's been enjoying them at work. I sent him the link and told him if he runs out I keep a couple extra in my unlocked locker at work. Then he texted back to thank me and said coffee is on him next month. 😁

#booksky why, yes, I absolutely reached out to the chapter flash artist for Dungeon Crawler Carl's ACE copies and inquired about signed bookplates and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME he will be signing bookplates for all 7 current books and the future anticipated 3 coming! 1/2

#knitsky 🧶💙 Started on the bunny to go with the bear. (These are for a coworker's kids)

#knitsky 🧶💙 Got the final knit accessory done on the bear, he has a hat now. Next up is working in the ends and stitching on his nose, and adding buttons on his cardigan.

#knitsky 🧶💙 Cardigan is done (well, it needs buttons yet)

#knitsky 🧶💙 Starting on the sleeves for the cardigan now that the body is knit!

#knitsky 🧶💙 Between chaos I am working on this bear. Knitting his green cardigan next and then I'll start working in ends.

Welp, that's on me for running to a code blue on medsurg without a mask, only to learn post-code the pt is fluA positive. Y'all, if I get the flu for my week off I'm gonna be cussing myself. We got the pt back though, so there is that.

A friend asked me to make some cookie monster cookies for her daughter's birthday: #foodsky

There is some kind of weird *click, whoosh* sound coming from the ceiling every few minutes. I'm certain it is our airhandler and certain it needs to be checked, but it is both after hours and outside my field of expertise. so I'll just keep listening to the click, whoosh under constant anxiety.

Headless bear in progress. #knitsky 🧶💙

Hit. The. Ground. Running! Night 1 of 7. Dayshift has ENTIRELY too much free time because they been causing drama. These email chains are UNHINGED, and totally HR-worthy. I'm just here to keep my head down, do my assigned jobs, and occassionally jump in for life-saving. ❌️Rearranging shelves

Me and my oldest son worked on the ladylocks cookie shells today, this is about half of what I wanted to get done. #foodsky

#foodskt We gathered our old mommy friend group together for the annual pierogy-making party (it was either year 12 or 13 this year). We've added more people and ramped up production significantly over the last 3 years... 1/2

Starting the Bobiverse series by Dennis E. Taylor. I'm 12 chapters in to book one 'We Are Legion(We are Bob)', and I'm enjoying it so far! Ray Porter narrates and he's pretty good... like, sounds comforting, familiar... kinda sounds like a young Tom Hanks. 💙 #booksky 📚💙

In a funk. Everything is just /a lot/ in this moment. Gonna write out some holiday cards and try to get some good vibes back. 2026 needs to come in like a cottonball on a gentle breeze. And 2025 is going straight in the incinerator, removing all evidence it even happened.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law. Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it. No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors. That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

Working on a little alligator... some sewing up to do. #knitsky 🧶💙

#knitsky 🧶💙 Heknitt pattern for a christmas tree dress and hat. I want to add jingle bells to it yet, and a star for the top of the hat. Claire Garland (Dot Pebbles) pattern for the frog. Santa pants are my own design. @heknitt.bsky.social

Tonight is a day off for me(DEI day). Much needed after the raging chaos that last night was. Hubs put up the Christmas decorations while I was sleeping. He's ordering pizza for supper, and he just brought me a cup of coffee. Gonna knit and rewatch season 3+ of Stranger Things.

Switching up the audiobooks with "A Very Bossy Christmas" from Kayley Loring. Not sure I am into the boss-employee trope... mostly because there is literally nothing sexy about any job or boss I have ever had, so I can't get into it. Meh. Might need to find an other-worlds romantasy to audiobook.

#Booksky 📚💙 Almost done listening to Sweet Tea and Sympathy by @mollyharperauth.bsky.social "You look like a freshly smacked ass." Gah, I love lines like that! 💙💙💙

Added some eye details. I don't normally do that, but, it's cute! #knitsky 💙🧶

Donkey done. Gotta fix his sweater, the neckhole is waaay too loose.💙🧶 #knitsky

Got the hospital-provided ham dinner tonight, those collards were the best! I could have just ate a whole pot of them with a good hunk of cornbread to sop up the pot likker(liquor).

Census is 40(normally we're in the upper 60s/low 70s). ER only has 1 patient(normally at least in the teens, but as high as mid 40s when I start a shift). Nothing on OR schedule. Had time to put safety eyes in this donkey and stuff and seam his head and ears. now for limbs, and finishing him up. 💙🧶

Listening to audiobook Sweet Tea and Sympathy by Molly Harper and they are talking about an appetizer, in Georgia, called 'possum eggs'... are they like 'armadillo eggs'? Because I live in GA and have only ever seen 'armadillo eggs' on a menu here. What region has 'possum eggs'? #foodsky #booksky 💙📚

#knitsky 🧶💙

Happy Turkey Day... I didn't quite get it finished, but it's close! A few ends, some stuffing, and gathering around neck and leg holes.

Half-filled hospital means low workload which also means I just knocked out 12 CE hours. Boom! Now I'm gonna knit on this hammerhead shark I started. #medsky #knitsky

Seamed the toast to fit around the bunny stuffie. Still need to stuff the toast and connect the split. #knitsky 🧶💙

This one was pretty good too.

Stevie was just chilling on the beanbag this morning and her one white whisker aka her "wild hair" was really standing out. Of course I snapped a photo.

We're comfortably food-coma-ing after the feast. Here's the feast. #foodsky

Having our family Thanksgiving today (I work it this year, and teenager has plans next weekend), so we're leisurely watching Krampus while snacking on warmed brie with wholeberry cranberry sauce and balsamic with toasted sourdough while the dinner is cooking.

I knit the pieces for a variegated orange/black/white bunny and a piece of toast that sits around his neck. It might make sense once you see it stuffed and seamed.... or... maybe it won't even make sense then. Oh well. 🧶💙 #knitsky

I'm off my nightshifts and had a request from my PRN daytime job to help get them caught up ahead of the holiday next week, so I caffeinated up and went in to help them out today. They are caught up now and I'm free again til weds night for the next nightshift cycle. I'm so ready to knit!

#booksky 📚💙 I ordered a Elle print too because lookit those grippy socks!!!

#Booksky 📚💙 In my continuing love of all things Dungeon Crawler Carl, I loooove these stickers! www.etsy.com/shop/DoomyCr...

Nightshift 6 of 7 tonight and I brought in a case of satsuma oranges to share with my medsurg and icu nurses. SATSUMAS!!! This is my favorite local fruit season.

#knitsky 🧶💙 This will be a turkey suit for a frog once I get it all stuffed and seamed:
