Comfort Corner
Oct. 4th, 2026 10:49 amThe carpet is thick, soft and cream coloured, while the walls are a yellow bronze colour. In the corner along one wall there is a large sofa, able to seat 4 or 5 people comfortably. Along the other corner wall there is a smaller sofa for 2 or 3 people. In the middle of the furniture, there is a low, round coffee table, perfect for colouring at or for other craft activities.
There is a scratching post and a cat tree for climbing, which are both along the wall opposite the couch. A few fluffy beds have also been put out, in varying sizes, in case any one prefers the floor. There is also a large sturdy perch and a marked off area that says "Landing Pad" in case any winged friends want to visit.
There is now a blue chaise chair in the nook as well, which has been placed near the couch and is good for both sitting and spreading out lengthwise. There are also two armchairs; one an oversized, deep gray leather chair, the other a square fabric armchair in deep blue with light purple swirls on it.
There are two baskets off to the side. One contains fuzzy blankets, a variety of fuzzy and textured pillows, and a collection of stuffed animals while the other contains a variety of art supplies, ranging from colouring pages and blank paper to crayons and coloured pencils, and more besides.

September Update
Sep. 10th, 2026 11:17 amHello everyone! The last few weeks have been good. I've been doing well with my goals and there has been time for fun too. I haven't read a lot of my book, but I have been reading a lot of fanfic, crocheting, and doing other things, so that's alright.
Last week, I decided to sign up for personal training with one of my coworkers who does that on the side. So far the meal plan and workouts are going well. Hopefully I can stick with it and actually make some progress towards my weight loss/health goal.
Coming up, I have lunch with my good friend, a weekend with my fiance, and probably a few plans with friends that I currently forget the details of. I would like to work on more of the Easter gnomes I'm crocheting, finish reading my book, and get some more yard work done, especially as the leaves start falling. I also have pictures of my last few knitting projects that I want to post. I have saved them to dreamwidth, I just have to find time for a post.
I hope you all are doing well and you have a good next few weeks! Talk to you all soon, stay safe, stay healthy, stay happy! <3

August Update
Aug. 27th, 2026 07:25 pmHi everyone! This will probably be short because I don't have much brain today. The last few weeks have been kostly okay, but there has been some worry, as my dad is still having health problems. My goals are doing okay and I've made good progress on the baby blanket I'm working on. I also finished a book and started a new one. I'm happy with how many books I've read so far; I may actually make a dent in my to-read list lol.
Coming up, I'd like to focus more on my yoga and health goals and getting some more yard work done. I get to hang out with my good friend tomorrow, which is always nice, and there are a few other fun things coming up which I'm looking forward to.
I hope you all are doing well, hopefully I will have a longer update next time. Take care! <3

Half-Price Sale in Polychrome Heroics
Aug. 20th, 2026 02:39 pmThis week, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ysabetwordsmith is having a half-price sale in Polychrome Heroics. If you spend $100 or more, you get the quarter price discount instead. I'll be running a pool this time, which means everyone who joins will be able to get the quarter price discount.
My targets so far are the entire Finn Kraken thread, and the first of the Rutledge poems. Addition targets include more Rutledge poems or Shiv poems, depending on how many people join and where the interest lies. If you join the pool, you can name any target you like, even if it isn't one I've listed. I will close the pool late Saturday night so I have time to collect the funds, then I will send the money along to Ysabet on Sunday.
If you are interested, leave a comment below and I will pass along my paypal info to anyone who needs it. Let's buy some poetry!

August Update
Aug. 13th, 2026 02:37 pmHello everyone! I hope you all have been doing well. The last two weeks have been really good. I had a week off of work and I managed to get a good amount of relaxing in while still being a little productive. My sister had a pool party at my grandma's, so I got to do some swimming.
I got some weeding done, I did a good amount of work on the baby blanket and the hat I'm working on, I started a new book, I went to a few wineries and a poker night with my fiance, and I generally just had time to hang out and chill. I also finally got the chance to go to a Dark Sky Night! I went with my fiance and we got to see a whole bunch of stars, as well as a few of the meteors from the Perseid meteor shower. It was a bit of a late night but it was a great time.
Coming up, I'd like to get more work done outside, keep working on my fibre projects, read more of my book, and figure out how to make my fitness goal more effective/achievable. I should also have a few days to relax coming up, which will be nice; it doesn't seem to happen often in the summertime.
I hope everyone has a good weekend, take care, see you soon!

Update Time!
Jul. 9th, 2026 05:17 pmHi everybody! I don't have a lot of brain today, so this might not be a very coherent post. The last two weeks have been good. We had a heatwave, but we came out the other side fine and it's a bit cooler now. I had a few fun weekends, with more fun coming up.
I've done okay on my goals, although I hit a rough patch for yoga at the beginning of July. I have started a new book and a new baby blanket and have made good first steps on both.
Today I saw my grandma for her 80th birthday, which was very nice, and I get to do lunch with my good friend tomorrow. In the coming weeks, I hope to get more reading, knitting, and yoga done, as well as sticking with my coffee and treat goals for the month.
I hope you all are doing well and staying cool! See you again soon!

Hello everyone! The last two weeks have been a lot of fun! The trip to the East Coast was wonderful! We saw lots of beautiful sights, had lots of delicious seafood, and spent qualiy with my fiance's aunt and uncle, who were gracious enough to host us and show us around. It was my first time out there, and I had an absolute blast! I hope we can go back again soon. :)
On the more boring side of things, Duolingo is still going well, chores are okay, although I need to get into the garden, I'm still reading more fanfic than books, and I forgot both my Sunday post and my May review post. Overall, things are going pretty well, but there is definitely room for some improvement.
Coming up, I'm having lunch with my good friend tomorrow, which should be lovely as always. Then on the weekend I have plans with my fiance Saturday and my sister is holding another Amazing Race event on Sunday. It should be a good weekend, if a bit busy.
I hope you all are doing well, and I will see you again in a few weeks!!

Update time!
Jun. 11th, 2026 04:50 pmHello again! June has been off to a good start so far. I've done fairly well with my daily goals, although I do need to improve in a few areas. Weeding, watering and dishes need more attention and my goal for limiting coffee needs a bit more dedication. On the plus side, Duolingo and yoga are going well, I've made a good start on my puzzle, I started a hat for myself, and I've read three of the new stories on QuantumBang, as well as two from previous years.
This weekend, I "ran" a Mudgirl 5k with three of my coworkers on Saturday. The entry fee went towards cancer research and it was a really fun time. My fiance and two of the other partners came with us to watch, as it was a ladies only event. I had a really fun time, although it was definitely very muddy and the shower when I got home felt really good. On Sunday, I had my engagement party in a local park. My sister did a great job with the decorations and food, there was no family drama, and everyone had a good time. It was a success all around, and I no longer have to worry about it going wrong. Friends and family, beautiful weather, and delicious food; I had a really great time.
Coming up, I need to practice my flute and finishing up puzzle. I would also like to get my yard work done and do more work on my hat. On the more fun side, I have lunch with my good friend tomorrow, then my fiance and I will be going to a local food festival. Next Wednesday, we leave for a trip to Nova Scotia which I'm really excited for! I've never been before and it should be a lot of fun.
I hope you all do well and have a great weekend and next few weeks! See you again soon!

In the corner along one wall there is a large sofa, able to seat 4 or 5 people comfortably. Along the other corner wall there is a smaller sofa for 2 or 3 people. In the middle of the furniture, there is a low, round coffee table, perfect for colouring at or for other craft activities.
There is a scratching post and a cat tree for climbing, which are both along the wall opposite the couch. A few fluffy beds have also been put out, in varying sizes, in case any one prefers the floor. There is also a large sturdy perch and a marked off area that says "Landing Pad" in case any winged friends want to visit.
There is now a blue chaise chair in the nook as well, which has been placed near the couch and is good for both sitting and spreading out lengthwise. There are also two armchairs; one an oversized, deep gray leather chair, the other a square fabric armchair in deep blue with light purple swirls on it.
There are two baskets off to the side. One contains fuzzy blankets, a variety of fuzzy and textured pillows, and a collection of stuffed animals while the other contains a variety of art supplies, ranging from colouring pages and blank paper to crayons and coloured pencils, and more besides.

Hello everyone! Sorry for missing the last post, energy for writing escaped me. I hope everyone has been doing well. May has been a good month, with lots of fun things happening. First, though, the boring stuff. My daily goals have been going well, with few missed yoga days, adequate dishwashing and consistent duolingo practice. I've also gotten in a decent amount of walks, read a lot of books, and done one of my two flute practices. On the more fun side, I knitted a pair of fingerless gloves for my fiance and got a jump start on my puzzle, which is June's project. Regrettably, I have not been cooking twice a week and I have not worked on my quilt, but I did visit my grandma, which is more important. :) (She is going to help me with my quilt, but I've been remiss in visiting lately.)
Now, fun things! Early in the month, my sister and I went to a few plant sales with our mom for mother's day, then we did "high tea" at a local coffee shop which was rather fun. The following weekend, I played a DnD session with my fiance and some of our friends, then the two of us did a fun class the next day. It was also a long weekend, so I had an extra day to relax, which is always nice.
Last weekend was an out of town trip, which was rainy and cold but still fun. We traveled about three hours north to go to a fibre festival and a nearby conservation area. The festival was on the main street of a small town and it would have been fun to explore more, if the weather was less miserable. I did buy six skeins of very nice yarn though, which I did not need but were very pleasing to buy. On the way out of town, we stopped at a local museum, which used to be a Poorhouse. It was very interesting to see the history of the building and to get a look at the barn that was still on the property, if no longer in use. After that, we stopped buy the conservation area, which had a lovely gorge and river to look at, although we did not stay long due to the rain. All in all, it was a great day, if wetter than ideal.
I enjoyed May a lot and I'm looking forward to the coming weeks as well. I'm hoping to make progress on my new knitting project (a ponytail hat for myself) and get out into the yard to do some weeding. I'll see you all next week for my official May goal review (hopefully) and I hope you havr a lovely time until then!
