nwhiker1. The 100 Day Project. Today I successfully (I think) added 6 stiches to my hat and transferred from one set of round needles to a bigger once. I'm annoyed that my knitting is a bit tighter than I'd like. Also, why didn't I pick thicker yarn? ðĪŠ
Anyhow: Photos on Flickr.
I am going to mebbe post 'em on Instagram.
2. This week is the anniversary of my aunt's death. I miss her dreadfully. I'm glad she got out before she lost too many people, too many memories, too much of herself, and I remember how sad I was every time I saw my super intelligent, competent, and independent aunt as vulnerable and scared and I know she made the right choices... but god I miss her.
3. We went hiking on Sunday, on Whidbey Island. Started at West Beach, walked to the bridge, then under it, and around the point on the perimeter. After several large ups and downs, we got to Goose Rock, which is the highest point on Whidbey Island, LOL. Got to see Mt Baker, Glacier Peak (one of my faves), and a shadow in the haze that was Mt Rainier. Beautiful views from the top and it was a sunny PNW winter day. Strava did me a dirty and did not record the hike at all, grr. Anyhow, it was about 6 miles and the summit is at about 500ft, but cumulatively, it was a bit more than that. Loads of fun. Dh got a photo of me taking a photo, those always amuse me. Saw a pileated woodpecker and a bald eagle, some seals, and heard a ruby crowned kinglet, though we did not see it.
Another Flickr link: Goose Rock hike at Deception Pass.
4. Iran thing is making me sick. Don't want to write about it, it's just so upsetting. This is not going to end well, for one, and for two, we just got out of fucking Afghanistan, damn it. Oh, and the media are a bunch of sycophantic assholes. Also in current events, I was hoping Jasmine Crockett would win in TX. I don't think either of them could win the general, but I thought she had a better chance.
5. $40 for Perry to fill up the Prius.
6. I'm having a hard time with everything these days.
