Episode 173: Election Week




This episode will upload March 16, 2024

Comments are welcomed! Either comment here or go to our group on Ravelry.
I have a YouTube channel "Doctor Gemma". Flash tips (1 minute or less) around surviving the pandemic and longer strategy discussions.

Buy Dr Gemma a Ko-Fi, if you're enjoying the podcast and feeling up to it. Remember that I am still working, though, so feel free to give the money to a charity instead.

I will NOT add you to any of my follower groups currently, due to robo-accounts. Please follow me here. You can contact me through our group on Ravelry or on this blog.

Warm Thanks : 
Chrissaah—“just do the next right thing” and “under thinking”
—welcome! Apparently, the strategy around dopamine addiction was better than I realized…

Cogknitive Fiber Retreat 10 (2024): ALL INFO IS RIGHT HERE! It's the info thread on Ravelry.

What's On My Hooks and Needles:

Finished: nope.

In Progress:
Stash toss 2024 (11 in versus 26 out) 




5th CFR23 Sock Yarn Cowl: frankly, this addiction is a bit embarrassing…4” out of 8”




Vestuary24: drowning in the stockinette


Deep Stash Dive 2 socks —in the ribbing of sock #2.




Dizzy Blondes: 

Still working on more merino from morrobayfleeceworks.com
3rd bobbin (sigh), but no progress
A fuzz ball of Minerva daily continues: 1 per day
Now working on gorgeous alpaca mix fluff from Dani!

Strategy: Overthinking: practice pushing away the thoughts. Yep, meditate.

AW shoot!: cycling along at 25 mins/day on my bike/desk ("FitDesk") 170 miles since late November 

Fluffy Books: docudrama on Netflix about Alexander the Great
Lynn Messina—A Murderous Tryst

Something I Really Like: Brother scanner

Put a Lid on It: 

Tea tastings: 

A very strong almond fragrance and flavor. The background flavors taste strongly similar to a black tea chai. Very likable and very suitable for a morning in the early spring here in the mountains.

Blather:

Voting the ISB way.  

Finishing the Hero's Journal: Saved several thousand dollars and am biking 25 mins/day for over 170 miles. It has been terrific.

Working on some writing projects. A chapter this weekend. Stay tuned.

Digital cleaning: the major backing up is finished! On to some scanning of family records from my shredding project.


Daily House projects:
Making 2.5" strips from leftover fabrics for future quilting projects

Developing improved walkway in front yard with cedar planking and solar lights- 4th strip and a lotta pins to go, lights coming

Garage camera--not yet

Pupdate--  Captain and Queenie--doing fine

Greenfingers report: winter garden, dreaming--ZZZZZZZ
