First finished project of 2020, and it’s freshly empompled! I loved working on the #wishbonehat by @this.bird.knits with @schmutzerella yarn (in colorway Professor Plum). #thisishowigetmyspiritback (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B74WI1Lp-mv/?igshid=8j7gxvvuw31v

It’s #MayDay. I spent most of it in the dirt, grass, and mud. #thisishowigetmyspiritback (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdCjtqTLyU_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Had a truly awesome day in Seattle with @kips206 and @thatknitter seeing @myfavoritemurder at the Paramount. I had ice cream with blood in it from @saltandstraw, a delicious #gf lunch at @capitolcider, and a pumpkin “stuff” late from @anchorheadcoffee. It’s been such a rough year, I needed the fun. #thisishowigetmyspiritback #murderino #ssdgm (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpNERKwFDUH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v4nn6ho5y0mw

Taking #myfavoritemeds is a lot more fun with a rainbow case and fun stickers. #thisishowigetmyspiritback https://www.instagram.com/p/CPUDgN0pL7G/?utm_medium=tumblr

I never got a chance to imbibe a pumpkin ale before I was diagnosed with #celiacdisease in 2009. I almost screamed when I saw this new bebé from @ghostfishbrewco at our local @costco. I grabbed 3. Not even kidding. #thisishowigetmyspiritback https://www.instagram.com/p/CGd_39lJXeR/?igshid=w3fu655trkrz

The air quality here is finally decent, so I spent some time checking the outdoor plants. The parsley and mint growth has been ridiculous!! Now I have fresh mint leaves for tea on a cold day. #thisishowigetmyspiritback (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFVBO6eJrbi/?igshid=3nlyl4iwdy6b

Whee, it’s the first day of school! I got to my room and the tables were already set up for me… the sweetness of the staff towards me almost made me cry. The parent of a returning student remembered I’m constantly drinking seltzer in class, so today she packed one for me with her kid’s snacks. That actually made me cry. #thisishowigetmyspiritback https://www.instagram.com/p/B2fktCsJAcg/?igshid=1xlpp8mw9sv62

It’s the last week of classes, and one of my students brought this for me today. Most of them left with big hugs, one actually shouted “I’LL MISS YOU!” #thisishowigetmyspiritback https://www.instagram.com/p/ByELSt3JD-J/?igshid=4mb1r1ruvfpn
