The Mysterious Regularly Scheduled Schedule
I have been disabled for 17 years now, the reasons and severity are all over the board and constantly changing. What I can do in a given day is about as predictable as the weather, someone from far enough away might be able to find patterns, but in the moment your never quite sure how its going to go. I can have good days where I put 'regular' people to shame with my productivity, or I could wake up with all 4 limbs numb unable to stumble to the bathroom, and that might or might not get better as the day progresses. might wake up at 6:30 am ready to take on the day or I might sleep for 36 hours, and when I went to bed there was no glimmer in favor of either outcome.

Worry Dolls
Worry dolls have a long and varied history in multiple cultures, the general idea is a small trinket or doll to tell your worries to so you can let them go. The first type of crochet I learned was to make tiny little creatures called Amigurumis. So when I went to design my first pattern of course it was worked in the round.

As the world moves into you sign the Gemini can expect to reap the fruits of their labor of the last year. In true solidarity with the twin nature of this sign those reaping's will either be a great joy and accomplishment or a great sorrow and failure.

FROM THE GROUND UP
Scanning social media as the emergence of yet another in a long line of diseases stemming from animal mistreatment swept through the population, while also reading stories about The Amazon being burned to produce more for a world that already produces enough but just fails to allocate it well, followed by watching as both the west coast of the United States, and portions Australia burned uncontrollably, caused us great distress.
