I woke up this morning and it was immediately apparent that it was going to be one of those days where everything seems to require 10 times more effort to accomplish than usual - like, I had the thought a few minutes ago, "Should I make myself another cup of tea?" I would enjoy having another cup of tea but the idea of going downstairs to make it - putting the kettle on and selecting tea and waiting for it to steep and maybe having to talk to other people in the kitchen - seems like so much work and I don't want to. It's awful.

So I did my grocery shopping because it was the only thing that I actually had to accomplish today. It was awful - there were no shopping baskets to be had in the whole store (I hate using a cart, where are they hiding all the baskets?), and I had to talk to multiple employees because they were stocking and had built enormous barricades in front of the four things I needed to buy.

But now that's done and I have nothing else that needs to be done today, so I am going to sit quietly and do some pin loom weaving. Pin loom weaving requires absolutely no thought or skill to accomplish, but is still satisfying in a tactile way. I'm slowly weaving squares to make a blanket - I get 14 squares per skein of the yarn I'm using and making a square takes about 20 minutes. I've got three full skeins left and one partial, and then I can start sewing them together. Which will be nice - I always want more blankets.

Hello friends, I have the Summer Depression real bad right now and all I want to do is watch nice people play video games while I do pin loom weaving. My absolute favorite comforting let’s plays are Kat and Jack playing Nancy Drew games but I am about to run out of episodes of those that I haven’t rewatched within the last month.

Do you have let’s play recommendations? The players don’t have to be good at the games, but I would prefer that they be interested in the game more as a story than as a competition, not shout a lot, and not be, y’know, terrible people.
