I was going to make a long post of crochet pattern dumps of patterns I want to make like I did with the quilting ones, but I realized I generally save the patterns as a PDF on my desktop anyway. Might share the lineup of next in lines though just for fun. I bought my first clothing pattern this weekend I wanna try out which I've never done before.

Also got to chatting with my family. We used to go all out for a halloween party every year with themes, hand crafted decorations, food all made by us, costumes all out and everything. We haven't since covid, first bc of covid obviously but since then bc we've just been too lazy to go that hard. On top of wanting to avoid the conflicts caused by not inviting specific family members we don't want to see.

We still might not do the full party next year, but we do want to go full theme on the decorations outside though so I gotta start planning like.... now. I gotta make a full ass enoch from otgw for a maypole outside. I know how I'm gonna do it in theory I just... have to make sure it'll work.

I have 2-3 weeks of the semester left & I'm goin NUTS. Two papers to write I'm trudging through, a presentation this week and another one next week. Thankfully next week's isn't actually graded, just a sharing of the info we've found, but I've been so caught up on this week's (which is graded) I've barely looked at it. I took a vacation day this week tho so I can just not think about work for a full day & get stuff done. I was at my parents' this weekend for the holiday & it's so hard to work there on school stuff

I have dnd tomorrow (as a player, with the dingbats) which I'm looking forward to a lot as a brief break away from all the work I've been swallowed up in. I have hardly played any video games since idk September? I wanna CHILL. I think the dnd game I've been running might be my next sort of storage update here, a recap of our progress & plot so far & some of my thoughts & plans.....

anyway thank god i have enough cbd gummies to last me until winter break
