It’s Thursday, and that can only mean one thing!
Yup, I need to come up with three things to tell you about today!
I could tell you that the process of sleeve lengthening has begun, but it hasn’t. It was usurped by Nekia lengthening – that’s right. I have worn Nekia twice now and I am constantly pulling it down. So, it obviously needs a bit more length.
I could tell you about my insane urge to cast on all the things, but I am showing remarkable restraint!
I could also tell you about being in a dieting holding pattern six weeks and counting…no losses, and no gains either. However, this does nothing to help these last 30-ish pounds I want to lose, but as Steve reminds me daily that muscle weighs more than fat, so hopefully this means I am gaining one and losing the other.
But, rather this week I find myself longing for what was and mourning what might have been.
And, really regretting that we are stuck with Orange Marmalade.
I think there are more than three things here, but it’s a work in progress. Right? What are your Thursday things?
Want to see far more clever things? You will find them all here!
P.S. One final bonus thing: Happy Birthday, Carole! I hope your day is filled with love and joy!
That’s a lot more than three things! 🙂 Good luck with the lengthening. (Never fun, but always worth it in the end.) And hang in there with the healthy lifestyle changes. You’re doing GREAT — and, really, it’s about how you FEEL and not just the numbers on the scale, y’know? XO
You have a gift for including many more than three things in your 3oT posts! I hope your Nekia lengthening will result in no more yanking; it’s really a beautiful sweater and should be one you wear happily.
Every time I think things can’t get any worse, he proves me wrong and gives a speech that inspires facepalms. I feel like I should send notes of apology to the whole world. 🙁
I’m thinking same thoughts as you, I tend to lengthen hand knitwear – though for the reverse, I tend to shorten a lot of tee shirts.
Orange is not one of my favorite colors and I am so dismayed with the “orange guy”, I will not let it alter my love of orange marmalade.
Holding pattern – dieting is wearisome through exercise could be worse, I do tolerate it better.
I love your Thursdays.
Maintaining weight is difficult. If you have maintained you have succeeded!
As Kym said, darling, it’s about how you FEEL! And thanks for the birthday love, too!
Congratulations on the maintaining! That is the hardest part! I’ve seen so little t.v. lately…what a gift that has been! 🙂
I saw Hillary Clinton on Time magazine today when I was at the grocery store. I said to myself – she could have been our President…she should have been our President…and then I almost started to cry in the grocery store! Aghhh!

Love your Nekia so much, I added it to my library! 🙂
Isn’t it nice how, with things we’ve knit ourselves, we can adjust them after the fact? I have some shirts that are just slightly too short and I’m constantly tugging at them — I wish I could add length!
I’m having the urge to cast on “all the things” and I don’t remember the last time that ever happened. Is Agent Orange the cause? I just found the pedometer on my phone app and I’m obsessed with watching my number of steps. It might be life altering!
I have the same urges to cast on as well. I am trying to finish my sweater before I do something crazy like that.
