#nutty is nuts

That moment when you’re going on leave from work and have been rushing around like a headless chicken to get everything done, dash out the door to pick up the kids - which you’re running late for and feel like a bad parent and fight through the traffic to get home and then you’re home and….

Well, you’re home, crazy chemicals still floating around in your blood, urgent, must do stuff, crazy head, but now you’re on leave…and can relax…

It’s gonna take a few days.

Oh, by the way, I’m on leave fore two glorious weeks :D

(Taming the stress hormones)

I’m gonna go take off the name badge and shoes and go eat the lunch I missed 😁

Sorry I haven’t been around much lately…I’m kinda obsessed with my art at the moment.

I still adore Thunderfam, though ::hugs the lot of you:: And thank you to all of you who have liked or reblogged my decidedly not-Thunderbirds yarn jewellery ::hugs you to bits::

I will admit to seeing the discussion about peanut butter and jelly and immediately thinking of Virgil and a decidedly Kiwi Alex Sweetapple discussing the matter. Do Kiwis enjoy that concoction? Cos I don’t think Aussies do (Kiwi Thunderfam let us know…we must have Alex thinking authentically 😁). Immediately wanted to write something. Unfortunately, time is as short as it always is.

Anyway, I just wanted to show my appreciation and show some signs of life as well 😁

Thunderfam rocks and Virg is still the Man 😁💚

Language rant

World at large, please be aware that English is spoken regionally. Your region may use different words, pronunciations and grammar to a different region.

Your region is no more correct than any other.

Aka, I speak Australian English, and pretty damned well, so please stop correcting my language online just because it doesn’t align with yours.

My usage is just as valid as yours. Get your head out of your ass/arse (ooh, look, same word different regions) and look at the world around you, get educated, and respect the fact that you don’t know everything!

(Yes, I’m pissed and sick of being challenged - fyi ‘anticlockwise’ is British, ‘counter clockwise’ is North American’, I’m Australian, we tend towards British but are at least aware of both, and to the rando (yes, Australian slang English, I see here) commenting about this fact on another platform, you can bugger off (the Australian use of this term))

Just a heads up and possibly an apology for being generally absent online for the last week.

I have a minor medical procedure today. Nothing major, nothing wrong, but apparently I’ve needed to fixate on it a bit. The muse has been literally obliterated and nothing is working. Even at work, my creative flair has taken a plummet.

And on top of that, I’ve retreated from social contact. I tend to do that when burning all my spoons on fretting, whether it is for valid reason or not.

Hopefully, today it will be over and done with and I can return to doing all the things I love.

Stupid brain.

On the flipside, I’m now a millionaire in Stardew Valley and Grandpa gave me four out of four candles - completed the mines, the skull cavern down to level 100 (for the first time) and the Island volcano all before the end of Year Two.

I love my studio so much!!! Hmm, I need some card for my new project…::digs into stash::…see that stack? All different coloured and textured card ::bounces:: Thirty years of collecting art materials pays off! Note: prior to the yarn addiction…there may have been others 😁😁😁The beads are my Swarovski collection 😁

[gumnut-logic]

For those of you who voted for Virgil whump, any suggestions of what you’d like to see?

Stare at this lovely stash of yarn while I go clean the car 😁 There may be a 70s disco revival playing over the car speakers at the time - You can’t stop the music 😁

Woke up with a sore throat this morning…new years day. This is not a great start.

Though, it should be noted that I haven’t had a cold or flu since May 2022 - two and a half years ago. Social distancing works. It took me a good moment to even recognise the symptom.

And then start swearing because this is not a good time to blow up work’s customer service roster. Damnit!

(Still hoping it just goes away, but already trying to work out how to get the huge pile of work done - I have deadlines! I don’t have time to be sick!)
