instagramed: If I’m going to have a chest full of heart monitoring hardware, I might as well claim it as being a superhero and wear my new @the_steel_web Avenger necklace and @bombdotcomgeekery SHIELD earrings. #comicsgirl #disabledandcute - on 8/16.

instagramed: I’m working on a helix knitting project with a bit of secretiveness. It’s perfect for in bed because I can lay it out and just let it un spiral around and every once in a while. And, because it’s stockinette in the round (I just pick up the helix color as I arrive at it every 20 stitches) I can do it laying down or reclining 🙂 such fun knitting! - on 8/14.

instagramed: LegoKristine brought her own self-driving car 😉 (because she’s a passenger! With no license, like me!) along on my drive. There is plenty of room for her knitting purse and kitty Snowball (named after the kitty in the Mandie books I loved as a girl). I think this was the first #legofriends set I got? And so it was fun to pull it off the shelf to come along this weekend! #legokristine #thedustonthedashboardhaswheeltracks 😉 - on 8/13.

instagramed: One more waffle before we got on the road. @offthewaffle The Bully for me and Fruit Party for E. Nobody is gonna bully me around with pointy sticks in hand 😉 #operationsockdrawer #kandeanniversary - on 8/13.

instagramed: We had a nice hotel room that made it easy to wheel in and out and even a mirror for me to take a Kristine and Esme pic before leaving 🙂 #kristineandesme #spoonie #wheelchairgirl #kandeanniversary - on 8/13.

instagramed: We happened upon this alleyway with an amazing mural in it. So much detail! #streetart #eugeneor #kandeanniversary - on 8/13.

instagramed: Yesterday’s purple and lime eyes – flounder approved. Special supporting stars are my @bombdotcomgeekery dinglehopper necklace and @zaniecrafts earrings. Such fun 🙂 #fancifulchatter #colourpopme lips were @colourpopcosmetics Lux lips in Sitting Pretty. #kandeanniversary - on 8/13.

instagramed: Suburbia #boardgamegeek we found Funagain Games, where they have a nice game library! We played one familiar because my learning speed isn’t quite there right now. I ran out of money about 3 turns from the end and just could pull back out, oops! #fiberanddice #operationsockdrawer #kandeanniversary - on 8/12.

instagramed: I love finding libraries on trips 🙂 we happened upon this while walking! #kandeanniversary - on 8/12.

instagramed: Three different attempts to take #colourpopme makeup pics today. I didn’t get one single pic that showed it off great but I liked how my look turned out 🙂 I got to leave the hotel for the Saturday market and lunch, thanks to E pushing my wheelchair so I didn’t get as worn out, and then an almost 3 hour nap this afternoon 🙂 good stuff! #fancifulchatter #kandeanniversary - on 8/11.

instagramed: A story of two waffles: @offthewaffle : Hey Bob (Havarti, Apples, cinnamon, bacon) and Goat in the Headlights (Eggs, Avocado, goat cheese, basil). One for a knitter, one for a geek boy. We both love them and have eaten these before, but every time we get them, they still delight us. Yum. Such a good destination for a little anniversary weekend treat. #kandeanniversary - on 8/11.

instagramed: The Harry and David’s at Woodburn is gone now, so we got a sampler of treats at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to sample throughout the weekend 🙂 #kandeanniversary - on 8/10.

instagramed: A baked potato pizza and a vegetable pizza 😀 #kandeanniversary - on 8/10.

instagramed: Starting off a little anniversary weekend fun with a drive. 🙂 and a fauxhawk that kinda sank. 😀 listening to @thedoubleclicks and geeking out is a good way to start celebrating almost 18 official years of being married geeks! #kandeanniversary - on 8/10.

instagramed: When I started this long cowl to knit at zk, I wanted something I could do while sitting and talking. My hands are a little more fumbly right now but I still managed to turn a wide brioche cable in the bus as we were pulled into the mall 😀 it’s getting closer to using up the yarn, but I’m guessing a few more of these long cable turns for sure. 🙂 #busknitting - on 8/9.

instagramed: Another great meal by Eric this week: cold Mango coconut soup, with lime coconut rice (in the instant pot), served with some quesadillas and chicken patties. Great hot weather meal for sure, and a perfect meal when mangos are on sale! #kristineskitchen - on 8/8.

instagramed: Yesterday’s look, feeling more than a little disheveled by the end of the day. Hot and overexerted made my makeup seem less vibrant. I liked the color combo #colourpopme so I’m sharing it even still! Inspired by my cherry quartz necklace, cherry blossom shirt, and grey layer, I went for a light cool tone pearly look. My faborite lavender Silver Lining in the crease, and the color next to it Double Date on the inner lid. Pinky Promise was a great under eye color. And Snake Eyes with its fabulous amount of jazz on the outer lid, a little into the crease. Glass Slipper blush and Here Kitty Kitty highlighter was joined with some Milk cosmetics holographic stick in Stardust, but I must have had a light hand on it or faded from exertion! But not the @colourpopcosmetics Lux Lipstick in Money Side Up – that stays strong, with just the teeniest of reapplying needed on eating. #fancifulchatter I really want to take the time to do this exact same eye look when I have more than 5 sleepy mins to do it. I think it could be really, really a winner. 🙂 - on 8/1.

instagramed: dr strange, you are not doing a great job guarding my pretzels. The bag failed below the zip lock. He’s cute, so that kinda helps. 😉 #drstrange - on 7/31.

instagramed: Fancy polka dot nails, wheelchair gloves, and my HOP card for the bus 🚎 @ctranvancouver #hopfastpass is this bus rider chic? 🙂 #vancouverwa - on 7/31.

instagramed: I had a gentle dewy glow going on, thanks to some new products from @milkmakeup – I got a set that came with their Blur stick, Lip + Cheek (in Werk!), and Highlighter, and then I got the foundation, Sunshine Skin tint. I have two holographic sticks and I used those on my eyes and for highlighting as well. I finished it off with @colourpopcosmetics Lux Lips Creme in Dream Easy, which matched so nicely. It all came together very quickly because I didn’t do any separate eye products other than the holo sticks and some quick ABH brows and too faced mascara. Just what I needed on a Sunday morning, when my heath was low but I wanted to have breakfast. Quick pic was snapped and back to resting 🙂 #fancifulchatter - on 7/29.

instagramed: Managed a hint of makeup this morning to see some friends online. Still all well and propped up, but it felt nice to grab my lipstick and touch up my eyebrows beforehand. 🙂 #fancifulchatter - on 7/26.

instagramed: Lego Kristine visited a different room in her hospital set today. #lifeimitatesart #legokristine #legokristineandesme looking to find more answers, hoping each appointment gets me closer to figuring out my newest issues 💗 - on 7/24.

instagramed: My reflection walking slowly to the bus stop this morning 🙂 #kristineandesme - on 7/24.

instagramed: Inspired by Rina’s garden library events, where they made gazpacho, I found a recipe for Watermelon Gazpacho with mint and basil and feta and E executed it deliciously. We had chik/chicken patties, mine with coleslaw on them for crunch. Really nice meal, Eric! #kristineskitchen - on 7/24.

instagramed: When picking a diverse repertoire of works in progress 😉 I need to keep in mind a project for lying down flatish in dim light. It’s dark now so my happy tree is on with the West Wing. I’m not too many rows further before being done on the middle of this cowl! - on 7/22.

instagramed: I feel supported. A new set of braces and a new pair of shoes. Time to get used to my feet being where they are supposed to be again after wearing my first pair down for a year – they sink and don’t have the same lift after a year, and that artificial arch lift is what keeps me able to walk the small distances I can. I walked some today and let Esme do the rest and that was a good first run at these braces. #ptdd oh, and aren’t these shoes pretty? Last year, I had this exact shoe, in the only color the store offered : a turquoise and dark gray. It was really the only option that my braces fit in. This year, I ordered the other color!!! Yay. - on 7/22.

instagramed: Roasted butternut squash with frozen Trader Joe’s gnocchi and meatless meatballs. My idea, E executed it for us. Yum. With Jessica Jones eps in bed, still have more to watch! #kristineskitchen - on 7/21.

instagramed: Not quite focusing on bed knitting as much as I am these mango gummies that Rina and Jenny turned me into… but hey, I’m resting and that’s what really matters! This shawl is only a few rows further than it was when I left for ZK, but it’s going to eventually be amazing. Crockett Tor by Ysolda in @blacktrilliumfibres Silken lace. The Voters pamphlet is here but hasn’t been opened. Good to wait for a little clearer head day to open it 🙂 - on 7/19.

instagramed: Am I to the point of my day now where I can take a little slouchy nap on the handle of Esme while I wait for E?! What a long, long, unrelaxy day it had been! I do like the blue on my eyes and the red on my lips, it goes with my dress which has been comfy. 🙂 - on 7/17.

instagramed: Lego kristine leaves her bed to visit doctors. She thinks that if she has to be in an exam bed, the little spot meant for doctors tools would be better meant for scissors ✂️ easy access when knitting. So that’s what we built there. Or, it’s a busy day in real Kristine’s world 😉 #legokristine #legofriends #legokristineandesme - on 7/17.
