*Crawls out of hole I've been hiding in* *Scrapes off dirt, and pulls worm out of hair* *Stumbles and falls face first into the mud* Hello! It's been a bit, hasn't it? Two days to be precise since I last posted here. I needed to take a few days away and focus on other things. I come bearing useless information and recommendations. Let the Categories begin... Yarn Pictured is my THIRD yarn order of the month. It's not my fault Hobby Lobby is having (or maybe it's over with, I dunno because I'm trying to be good) a sale! I don't go to the physical location for two reasons. One - IT'S A TRAP and two, I can use cashback sites if I order online. Red Frontier This is only relevant to those who have spotify as it's a spotify original. I came across a podcast yesterday called Red Frontier. There are only two episodes so far but it follows a woman as she attempts to prepare mars for colonization. Crochet I have been crocheting up a storm. I've crocheted a spa set. I'm thinking of frogging and starting over on one of my UFOs (unfinished objects). Okay, well that's that. Now to get to my notifications. Oh, I forgot... SINUSES What I thought was a zit.. My sinuses were horribly blocked two days ago. I woke up in the middle of the night to pain. I took two benadryl (all I had) and did a sinus massage (though it hurt). I've been taking benadryl twice daily and it's helped tremendously. Okay, now, Robin, to the notifications!

I am not sure when / if we will do anything this summer. We've talked about going to the mountains to float down the river but haven't cemented any plans. I'm not sure how often I'll be on.

New yarn is always fun! Do you know about Hobbii? They are online and have some wonderful sales. I just bought cotton for a baby blanket--and because I bought 10 skeins, I got it for $2 something a skein--

I've heard of them but haven't yet purchased through them. Is their cotton on the softer side?

@ScribbledAdNauseum They do have some on the softer side and some cotton and acrylic blends--they also have cones which I find to be economical.

@divalounger Oh yeah, the cones are definitely more economical. I love Hobby Lobby yarn because the cotton is the softest I've felt. Some brands are too coarse. I know they soften after a wash, but I like working with hobby lobby because it glides on the hook.

Do you ever flush your sinuses? I find it can help a LOT and is much more useful than Benadryl. If you've never flushed your sinuses, it's easy... Get in the shower with the water as hot as you can stand it. Let the water run over your face, but don't drown!, your sinuses will start to loosen. When you can, pull as much water into your sinuses as you can and then blow everything out. You'll need to repeat this several times for each nostril. When nothing is coming out but water, blow again and you're done. You can repeat this as often as needed. Your head won't hurt nearly as much and you can usually breathe normally for a couple of hours before needing to repeat the process. The more you do this, the easier it gets. I hope you're feeling better now.

I've done that unintentionally a time or two, but never intentionally. I was thinking about investing in a neti pot, but I'll try this method first. My sinuses are better, but still not 100%. I can wear my glasses again though.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I tried a neti pot but didn't like the mess it made. I mean, if I'm going to get wet anyway, it just made more sense to do it while I was already in the shower.

Glad you're back. Have you sold any of your crocheted items yet? I'm glad your sinuses are better. Keep us posted! P.S. Love the yarn!

Not any of my crocheted items, but I have sold some yarn. I plan to make a discussion about it once I get my notifications cleared.

They are very nice. I am running out of space to store the yarn! I'm thinking of listing my acrylic yarns for sale.

@CarolDM Thank You! I am sure I'll get some bites with yarn. I belong to a facebook group that is dedicated to yarn. I can't sell on there, but I have seen plenty of members selling on marketplace.

It's fun to buy new yarn and imagine what it will turn into.

I'm thinking of buying more of the denim (the top two skeins) and making a beach wrap with it...
