instagramed: my desk is getting a little more tidy. i worked on some small trip planning, listened to some fun music, and sat by my happy lamp for a bit 🙂 - on 9/30.

instagramed: Castles of Burgundy the card game #boardgamegeek new game! trying to learn it for the first time, even tho i’m a pro at the board version 🙂 #fiberanddice #10x10in2016 because i’ll lump them together 🙂 - on 9/29.

instagramed: my new awesome multicraftual @erinlanebags is hooked up on my exercise bike for a bit of #knitexercise this afternoon. motivates me to capture the pic! #watchmedothis - on 9/29.

instagramed: finished my ankle physical therapy series today! worth being proud of, and i was so lucky to be working with a great physical therapist who knew from last year my strengths and weaknesses, and how my fibro impacts me. i like this workout outfit – i knew i wouldn’t wear just a workout skirt for my level of comfort so when i thought of layering with close-fitting capris, it opened up this nice option! i’ve got the matching jacket to the skirt too, which was nice since it was 48F when leaving the house this morning. 🙂 so yay, go me, i did it! now to just gently finish the healing with exercises at home and back at the gym. i’m trying to be really careful where i step to prevent future accidents, but i know that i can only strengthen my body and trust my reaction time is quick enough to stop a fall; falls might happen, but i can do my best. #selfcareftw #mentalselfawareness too! #watchmedothis - on 9/28.

instagramed: peaceful waiting room – these early PT appointments are really nice for that! #operationsockdrawer - on 9/28.

instagramed: my sweater in process is much brighter when it’s near outside daylight. wowsers! and on the way home, as the sun is starting to go down, i saw trees getting the golden from the sun and it was exactly this color! Autumn Tree Sun colors! #bigbadbergalong #projectsweaterchest - on 9/27.

instagramed: i lovelovelove my new bag. this is the rainbow of me, my superpowers!! thanks @misspurl , it’s the perfect bag to carry along on a day out 🙂 - on 9/27.

instagramed: the orange trees in the distance are so pretty, and their leaves are falling. #vancouverwa - on 9/27.

instagramed: warm and sweaty after first class back to yoga @ymcacw – need to reinstate my membership so today’s $10 day pass was worth every penny. i faltered on a few poses and adjusted a few more to not put strain on ankle + knee, but i did good overall! my stamina is down, but that will come back with repetition. #wycwyc #watchmedothis - on 9/27.

instagramed: a few days ago, i cast on Risen by Melanie Berg and yesterday got to the stage of needing stitch markers. enter a visit to @misspurl ‘s booth at #offf for some fun new sets! the little Cap + matching colored markers are perfect, and i’ve got some owls to make my progress. (the pink and purple are from a previous visit to her booth 😀 ) excited to be doing this sweater as part of the #bigbadbergalong – i think i should finish quick enough to be part of so many podcasters’ fun. #projectsweaterchest - on 9/25.

instagramed: E’s off to play games, my tummy is full of Sweet Tomatoes, and before i move onto other plans for today, me and my pillows need a snuggle and a nap 😀 i had much energy exerted yesterday and that makes today a rest day, even tho it would have been fun to play games with E. #wycwyc 😀 - on 9/25.

instagramed: this was about halfway through thoroughly enjoying a big piece of carrot cake between the three of us. yum! - on 9/24.

instagramed: my outfit for today came out cute 🙂 my Superpowers shawl pattern in @knittedwit yarn since she was at #offf today. and the dress and leggings and the earrings all matched well – i had my rhinebeck sweater from 2014 on until it got warm. happy girly clothes! #oregonflockandfiber - on 9/24.

instagramed: the table of loot between the two of us, some gifty related some for fun! #oregonflockandfiber #offf #auntkristinesknittingschool - on 9/24.

instagramed: my cute OFFF companion miss Leah went through booths with me and barns with Uncle E. #auntkristinesknittingschool - on 9/24.

instagramed: tonight’s game of Castles of Burgundy #boardgamegeek had me not barely trying for boats, but still kicking butt! #fiberanddice #10x10in2016 - on 9/23.

instagramed: i finally gathered my contributions to the meme going around. #describeyourselfin3fictionalchacters #3fictionalcharacters with a little help from tvtropes when i got stuck. i’m Kaylee (Firefly) for the cheerful colorfulness (“when Kaylee smiles, everything suddenly becomes shiny”). i’m Fred (Angel) in the “geeks are sexy”/girl friday way. i’m Luke (Gilmore Girls) in the reliable one/observant area. i also love the “deadpan snarker” character trait that most Whedon characters and Gilmore Girks characters have. i like it!! - on 9/23.

instagramed: so this week’s accomplishment has been going down stairs – one foot to one step instead of two 🙂 the angle on the top of the bad ankle has been hard still so i’m slowly practicing the timing to make it work! still taped up but that helps with the support. - on 9/23.

instagramed: yesterday, a new episode of #yarnings went live for you to enjoy! see my pretty colorwork cables cowl, all finished 🙂 #knittingpodcast - on 9/23.

instagramed: Race for the Galaxy #boardgamegeek with lots of points and prestige and still couldn’t beat E’s four 6+ cards 😀 #fiberanddice #10x10in2016 - on 9/21.

instagramed: little fluffy pink clouds 🙂 I got out of the house for a bit. - on 9/20.

instagramed: I had to literally dust off my exercise bike. even tho I’m not feeling 100% today, I made time for a short slow bike ride. I’ve been doing 10 mins of it to start PT sessions and it encouraged me to try again. #knitexercise 🙂 #watchmedothis - on 9/20.

instagramed: my #knitting of crazy scrappy gifty hats continue 🙂 this could mean socktober, NaKniSweMo, and the grinchalong can be super fun and more personally-oriented knitting 🙂 - on 9/20.

instagramed: I loved yesterday’s outfit 🙂 my new fabulous Nicole #howiroe with my new fabulous #kcelebrates40 cowl in cables and colorwork. I love how the neck of the dress has the same aqua as part the handspun @engineersfalcon lovingly spun for me. and when it started raining on the way to the bus, I twisted the cowl up doubled and got all cozy. #girly - on 9/20.

instagramed: tonight featured creativity in spice. za’atar acorn squash with a tahini yogurt pine nut topping, and a Moroccan pumpkin simmer sauce with cauliflower over brown basmati. E was super excited by this – a little spicier than my norm but quite good. #kristineskitchen - on 9/19.

instagramed: post doc appt breakfast (fasted for blood draw) with wifi so I’m checking on my #avengeracademy and texting with friends. breakfast for one is not lonely at all this way! - on 9/19.

instagramed: the sky looks awfully cool this morning 🙂 #vancouverwa - on 9/19.
