Which type of late-night brain is yours on an average night?

Worrying about tomorrow

Random nostalgia

Sudden productivity

Doomscrolling addiction

Overthinking about today

Content cozy thoughts

Churning out writing ideas

Lost in brain fog

Earworm-induced insomnia

Stuck in the negative past

Grieving a personal loss

Craving snacks

recently thought to myself “i can do things, but i can’t plan [what those] things [are].” it would be more accurate to say that in my brain “planning/deciding” and “doing” occupy 2 distinct circuits that rarely overlap. tasks are encoded in me as a series of tactile or proprioceptive stimuli/motions. i can often get myself to do a task by Doing the 1st step accidentally/mysteriously, which encodes the rest of the pathway, domino-style — but not by deciding to. the worlds of thinking and doing are so separate that in times of crisis/necessity it’s easier for me to spend a massive activation energy on the sole task “enter the World where i Do Things,” a point from which i cannot predict what will happen but know i will be able to Act, than it is to individually summon the smaller activation energies to link decisions to actions.

So many things to keep in mind — but where to keep them all? -- Michael Lipsey

Yes, that is a dime.

Those are seed beads, the needles are size 0000, they are pointy AF, and I did string all of those beads onto that #8 cotton thread.

I found this almost completed project in a bag that was nestled in a bin of yarn (aka “my stash”) in the garage.

I looked into my Projects page in Ravelry, and there it was.

I started this thing in 2005. There was a “still working on it” note entered in September 2018, and that was it.

I don’t know how it ended up in a bag inside a bag and in the bin, but sometimes that’s what happens to WIPs (Works In Progress) and UFOs (Unfinished Objects).

Between 2005 - 2018 - yesterday, I’ve started and finished many pieces and projects.

As of yesterday, this piece is done. Well, all I have to do is find the snaps I bought for it (back in 2005) and then sew them on.

Why, you may ask, weren’t the snaps in the bag?

Good question. Because I put them somewhere safe. I thought.

Why would I make something like this?

Because I saw a picture of it and wanted it. No. Not just wanted. I needed it in my life.

Photo of finished piece is coming shortly.
