another new week

[areolas]

basically didn't get anything done yesterday i wanted to get done. I just about hit post and immediately after was hit with period and cramps. There went that day. I basically sat around feeling nauseous and bloated instead.

Here's some final images of the blanket: the border, which I love! And it being put to some good use.



So tonight I'm studying instead, since I skipped it last night. Didn't do any of the dnd prep I wanted to either.

I just had some decent GF pizza for dinner & I'm ready to start I GUESS.

The bank situation is basically wrapped up. Opened a new account and opened a savings account finally too. Now that I have that, I gotta put together an actual monthly budget plan - how much fun money I'm allowed to keep in checkings + bills estimate. I have also get used to seeing two (low) amounts rather than one (slightly less low) total and not panic that I'm broke lol. I'll be less broke soon, I had a CT scan and dr appts several months ago that cost me 700 got dang buckies that I have two payments on my plan left to go. I'll be blessedly free once those are done with.

I have a summer course I need to take at the undergrad level this summer, which at least that will only cost ~$100 bc we get a better deal per undergrad credit than we do for grad credits. Even with a significant discount grad school is expensive as hell god. it's what I want though.

I bought an over the door hanging shelf + rack so we have a place for bags bc rn they just sit on the floor or couch & I'm very sick of it. I'm gonna put that together THEN I'll study..... i prommy....

Great job on the blanket. I've been wanting to expand my crochet skills for a while, and I love the idea of granny squares. I've got a book or two of just granny squares patterns, but just haven't made the time to try something new from them.

thanks very much! This was my first go with granny squares & it was a pretty basic start I think, which was nice. This is the pattern I used if you're interested at all. I've seen granny square bags too I really want to give a go

Thanks for the link to the pattern. Maybe I'll try it out! Goodness knows I've got enough extra yarn laying around.
