OH also I was able to distribute all of my crochet snowflakes! The cashier at the local discounter and the one at the newspaper kiosk were very confused. The very young cashier at the grocery store lit up, and the lady at the craft store almost hugged me and asked if she could +

Make-up savvy friends, I might need your help. This is a selfie I took on my graduation day. I was wearing Kat von D's Everlasring Liquid Matte Lipstick in the shade "Bachelorette". I adored that shade but don't endorse that brand anymore. [1/2]

Update: ✨️sexy✨️ This is only temporary; we'll get a call next week to get a new faucet installed. The old one had a piece completely broken off. But at least we were able to turn on the water again, so now we can flush the toilet, shower, and wash ourselves again! [1/2]

...right after I call emergency plumbing services. Had to cut off the main waterline for the whole house for the tap to stop running. 🙄 And no, it won't twist back on again. I've tried.

I think since it's St Nicolas Day, I will pick out a few of these snowflakes and try and hand them to cashiers and random people while I hit the shops today. ❤️

How many snowflakes have you been crocheting lately, Rima? ...yes. They're so fun to make, really quick, and great for using up yarn scraps. Most of them have seven points; only three of them have eight. They're great from distracting me while my new meds are taking effect.

This year's Christmas tree, with baubles in purple, red, and champagne, as well as straw, wooden, and brass ornaments. We also got a string of amber lights for behind the stained glass Nativity and it looks so good! I'm so pleased with it. Tree skirt crocheted by Yours Truly ❤️

Quite happy with our small kitchen tablescape and my advent calendar this year

Dumbo's "Baby Mine" always makes me cry, without fail. And since joining this fandom, I cannot help but picture an imprisoned WWX cradling a crying and frightened A-Yuan through the bars of his cell, softly singing to comfort the boy as he's holding back tears himself.

Happy 1st Advent if you celebrate

My Christmas tree deco this year is purple, red, and a pinky shade of champagne, and I just realised - I have a Jiang Siblings Christmas tree! (Pics will follow. Batteries for the candles will arrive on Monday.)

My partner's currently in Switzerland with her mum and aunt, clearing out her late father's house. She says she can't sleep well and can't listen to her sleep app bc she doesn't have earphones. So I decided I will buy her some. Plus a phone jack adapter, a little case, +

Mum ans I are watching TV in the living room. She suggests I go upstairs and stay there. I jokingly ask if she doesn't want to be in the same room with me. She says: "No." I ask if it's because she can't smoke with me in here. She goes: "That too, but that's not all. I just don't."

I am now the proud owner of a library card! \o/ Borrowing books to read was one of my favourite aspects of my (early) school years. I remember loaning out books and reading them with my grandma so we could talk about them afterwards. #Luxembourg #LuxCityLib

Went to the local discount store for trash bags, socks, and cleaning products. Came home with the sweetest Christmas village. Super inexpensive, hyper kitschy, but I am *in love* with it. It will stay on the dvd shelf while the tree's up.

While I work on a current exchange thing how about reposting this past exchange thing, still possibly the most fun I've had on a piece of fanart (the exchange theme was 'close quarters', and the prompt was 'tied together') #wangxian

Beyond the ethical and quality concerns, why would you want to cut voice actors out of your process? They’re the hot people with media training and a camera presence. You need a Laura Bailey or Neil Newbon out there to do panels or it’s just a bunch of sweaty devs in t shirts and blazers

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

I'm sorry for my absence here lately. My mother's still in hospital, I am in pain and waiting for an appointment for a CT scan, and between all of that I simply don't really have the mental capacity for social media. I will try to get back on track though!

It just happened to me! It's a scam! DO NOT CLICK THE LINK! Report and block! #TheUntamed/ #CQL #cdrama #mdzs #mxtx

So mum's in hospital again (went in yesterday and I had to yell at a doctor for her to even keep her despite her being to weak to even stand), it can take up to two weeks to get an appointment to get my hurty leg looked after, and today our washer broke. How's your week so far?

Seriously considering paying a visit to the ER in the morning. :/ I say ER bc here, ER, Urgent Care, A&E - it's the same place, they just triage you accordingly.

Got myself a bit of childhood nostalgia. I'm not sure if Der Kleine Maulwurf (The Little Mole) is known outside of German-speaking countries. They make me smile every time I see them and remind me of cosy Sunday mornings.

Not to be tmi on main but one of my favourite moments of physical intimacy with my partner is when something silly happens during sex and we just laugh and dissolve into giggles. I'm so fond of moments like these.

Let me be honest about Heart of Glass though - It's one of my favourite things I've ever made, podfic-wise. It sits there unfinished. And them I'm looking at how little time and energy I have and how my health (physical and mental) keeps playing tricks on me, +

Not me resharing Heart of Glass again, haha! 😅 I miss that universe so much. I would love to continue the podfic but right now it's hard to sit down for long enough to record with how much my leg still hurts. We don't even talk about editing. It makes me really sad.

For those who are interested: I went with the burgundy shirt in the end.

But speaking of crochet - I got my hands on some hand dyed wool while I was in Wilhelmshaven and I decided to make yet another shawl because 1. one can never have too many shawls 2. that pattern looks too good with those colours.

I lost my favourite crochet hook 😭😭😭

The moment I need to sleep? I can't. I hate this.

I'm having the weirdest dreams lately. They also linger quite long after I wake up - not quite long enough to write them down, but long enough to remember clear snapshots. Some are just strange, others are downright disturbing. It's so odd.

Watched Kpop Demon Hunters for the first time this afternoon. That was fun!

TFW ypur partner casually mentions that she's been in a car accident today, and then you can't reach her for the rest of the day Like I assune you're okay but DAMN woman, give me at least a few more details to reassure me!

Does anyone else plan their outfits days in advance whenever they have something important coming up where they need to be dressed appropriately, or is that just me? I swear I've tried this on like five times already, and I still cannot decide between the black (safe) and burgundy jumper.

The pain in my leg was less intense throughout the day but now it's 3 am and I can't sleep bc it hurts so much but I cannot take pain meds bc a) there's a max daily limit of how much I'm allowed to take (not reached yet) [1/2]

So the reason why my GP didn't react to my email is because it landed in his spam folder. I've never heard a grown man sound so annoyed and apologise so profusely, lol. But I was able to book the flu shot for my mum within minutes (and the Covid one next month.)

I'm crocheting another hat (I like to have a variety so I can match them with what I'm wearing) and I'm usually not that into variegated yarn But DAMN look at those colours!!! They renind me of a Momet painting. Or a variety of black opal.

I have some kind of inflammation in my leg and the pain is driving me nuts, so I've been crocheting quite a bit to take my mind off of things. 1 is a triangle shawl I made for my partner - she chose the yarn (1€ yarn from the 1€ shop that was a cotton/acrylic blend +

My partner has to drive down to Switzerland again and this time she was like "Fuck it, if I'm having to deal with this shit on my own, I'll book myself into a spa hotel for the weekend" And honestly? GOOD FOR HER.

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

My mum says she wants to quit smoking. Says she won't bring any cigarettes back into the house. She just triggered her tele alarm by accident while she was rummaging around in secret for a cig. In the garage. Because, as she said: "That's not in the house." 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

In a lot of pain tonight.

Got a Luxembouquet! 🇱🇺 And a colouring book to celebrate the new Grand Duke and Grand Duchess - my German cousin's daughter is into princes and princesses, and with this she can colour in REAL princes and princesses and palaces. It's sooo cute.

Vive! 🇱🇺👑

EXCUSE ME?! ...I might be just the tiniest bit starstruck, wow ❤️❤️❤️
