#finally got a referral to a neurologist tho ! thats a plus

Things recently. That damn commission scarf is taking up almost all my time recently, but there is finally light at the end of the tunnel (im working on stripe 11 of 17, and promised to have it all done by the 14th... which means a little walkin around money for the fiber festival on the 15th >:) very excited).

Have been experimenting with the dutch oven, bc ive never used one and its very small. Liking the results though.

Also have been frequenting the farmer stall at the nursery down the street and got a few of the last of this years peaches, which resulted in two jars of very nice peach jam and a small jar of peach syrup, which my sister is gonna take for a chicken of the woods and waffles feast her friend is doing next week. Had some of the excess jam on some poppyseed bread toast and it was very good--light and tart and summery. The plan for this winter is lots of bread and jam and welsh cakes and barmbrack and pirozhkiy. Looking forward to it somewhat, altho i have a feeling its going to be a very cold winter this year. Also, not sure if i should plant the leeks right now so we can harvest some baby ones in the winter... my sister is obsessed with the idea of glamorgan sausages and it would be nice to try with leeks from the garden...

#baking #canning #has been a day. spent all night curled up on the heating pad waking up every few hours in horrible pain because it turns off automatically #and spent all day doing mostly the same thing on the couch watching my sister play skyrim and knitting #and also making a tiny loaf of bread and the jams and syrup #and have had a bad headache #finally got a referral to a neurologist tho ! thats a plus #so yeah. long day. everything hurts but at least food is good and heating pads exist #and tea. glad tea also exists #my sole water intake rn is from irish breakfast tea..... #blegh also just finished my last cigarette. have been struggling with it recently #wanting to quit bc it doesnt feel good anymore and just makes my chest feel sick #but then i go a few days without and have one and its good again. so good and makes me feel human #idk. ive been smoking since i was like what... 12 or 13 ? #almost more of my life smoking than not. hard to quit just bc i just crave the routine and the sameness #i know a few autistics who are similar and have been smoking a long time as well #anyway... i am gonna go buy another pack. and finish knitting the stripe. and go to bed #chronic illness
