valkryorI have a gum boil. It's as gross as it sounds.
They usually come about for two reasons: 1) poor oral hygiene, or 2) dying tooth. As I have a dying tooth that I'm already planning to get pulled (a cracked tooth that can't be saved), I'm not too worried about it. It doesn't hurt, at least, so that's something. It is, though, leaving a weird taste in my mouth that I could live without, so I'm going to start salt water rinses to deal with it.
Also, the weather has been pretty fucking glorious lately. Paul and I got out for a walk on Thursday because we are both in desperate need of more exercise. We went to a local trail and there were butterflies (possibly mourning cloaks) and a woodpecker (looked to be a female downy) and very few people. It was lovely, actually.
My knitting continues apace. It's slow. I'm still on the same sock, but I'm working on the tube part and continental knitting feels really natural to me. The pattern I'm using is supposed to yield two socks from 100g of wool. I'm not halfway through the tube section and I've already knitted ~25g. ON ONE SOCK. Yes, I did have to scale up the pattern into something that would fit my foot/ankle, but it should not have made that huge of a difference. At least I was mistakenly sent another skein of the same colourway, so I'm not completely fucking screwed.
Not much else of note has been happening. Pandemic is still pandemicking on. I've had my first dose of the vaccine, with the second already booked for late July. My only real 'side effect' was my anxiety being a complete butt, which is a total 'me' problem. Ugh.

Date: 2021-04-10 07:26 pm (UTC)And yeah, the weather has been amazing lately. I may have to start thinking about doing something different with Luna on Saturday mornings. The beach was downright crowded this morning -- at 7:30am. Crowded enough that I was thinking about returning to the car to get a mask (I don't normally wear one when I'm out on my own walking Luna, because I can easily keep 6'+ away from people). It was not that easy this morning, and the park is HUGE.
So I'm either going to start going even EARLIER, or find somewhere less crowded to take her.
