Blind Beej

Lookie what I made. (I feel the need to insert here that it is a snowflake, just in case you can't figure it out) I know it's a little whopsided, but it's my first attempt. Maybe the next one will be better. Last week, Evie made me want to pick up crocheting again, so I have. My afghan is getting bigger (that's the very BROWN thing under the whopsided snowflake) and I'm trying my hand at some new stuff. I'm just learning as I go. I forget sometimes how VERY therapeutic creating things can be. Bad news is that last night before I went to bed I thought my eyes would never focus again. All that close work is blinding me. I've never had this trouble before and I'm assuming my over 40-ness is now catching up with me. I'm going to the Dollar General and buy some cute $5 granny reading glasses and see if that settles my problem, however, I'm unsure if "cute" and "$5" are actually compatible terms. We shall see. Oh! Haha...we shall SEE...get it?


Yeah, it's been a slow morning and the coffee wasn't all that good because I made it myself. The $4.09 kind at Moka's is much, much better, but I'm feeling awfully indulgent about throwing my hard to come by dollars away on a happiness that only stays with me for about an hour. I go there way too often. It's bad enough that all I have to do is drive up to the window or walk in and if the nice, nice lady sees me ahead of time, she's already fulfilling what she knows will be my order. Yesterday, I drove up to the window and she just handed it out before I could even tell her what I wanted. See now? That is service. BUT...my plan is to figure out the proper coffee making procedure and learn to do it myself. And again, after I get those glasses...we shall see.
